sunday morning thought


The morning is slow but wonderful . We are watching the Wind make the trees move so fast that our bird feeder had to be taken down. Just like in nature the wind moves the trees. our life's move as well . I can't help but think about all that has happened in my life of 29 yrs .

I'm so blessed just be here. The Lord has blessed me and my family so much. I'm hoping this year I will slow down. Just take in ever moment and cherish what i get to experience as a mom and a wife. My biggest change this year is We as a family have choose to Homes School my 2 kids . Madison is 6 and Chase is going to be 5 next Friday.

The choose to make home where my kids learn and get educated was a hard long drawn out process.
I was trained or society had trained me that you : get married , have kids ,you stay home with them until they are 3 , put them in preschool, then at 5 elementary school, then i go back to work full time. I didn't agree with that and new there had to be a better way.

Then on Nov 16 2003 my Journey started we had our first baby Madison 5 pound 4 ounces . That very moment i know i could never leave her . She taught me how much I loved being with her all the time . I learned to be patient from Madison . I learned that we only get to have our kids by our side for so long before they grow up and move out to start there own life.

So with that we made the decision to teach our kids . NOT only math science English and general fundamentals of "school" but also to teach them about LIFE . To be the one who shows them amazing life can be . By showing them how great the lord is . He created this earth and i want to be the one who shares that with my kids .

Life has so much to offer and the lord has given me the chance to be here. To teach my kids about all he has created for us .I'm sure this adventure called homeschooling will not be a easy one but I'm willing to dedicate my life to raising my kids. I realize a lot of people dis agree with me but that i may up set people with my thoughts but I'm not going to apologize . I'm allowed to have ideas and makes decisions that not everyone will love.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday i know i am

Slow Food Movement


Its amazing how much we have all lost . 50 yrs ago people ate dinner together every night . As of today people eat dinner under 15 Min's and in 4 different rooms.
My heart aches knowing that people don't enjoy eating and don't enjoy dressing up a table for a meal together .
My goal along with so many I have to put on a list to do this year. Is to make full meals from scratch for dinner for my family . Its time for us to share food and enjoy each other . I'm not saying dinner will be 5hrs long and 19 course . I'm just wanting to invest time in to cooking together and sharing what we have created as a family .

The Year

So i have totally lagged at blogging for the past year .

My thought on blogging now is i want this blog to be all about the food i'm cooking with my kids and the experiences i have homeschooling them trough life .

my goal is to update twice a wk with pictures of out adventures and the food we have created together .

lets jsut see how this all goes :)
