Does life ever go as planned? I don’t think so. Mine certainly has not gone as planned. In the past 6 years, my life has been anything but boring. I’ve gone through a divorce, gave birth to a wonderful daughter, faced the scariest day of my life when she had surgery, got engaged, went through […]
Teaching Christ’s Children About Feeling Angry
There was yelling, screaming, doors slamming and objects whirling by. Was it a tornado? A hurricane? Surely, there must have been a natural disaster to account for the reasons why my home was a disastor zone. There wasn’t. The cause for the yelling and screaming was no other than my sweet four year old daughter. […]
I Didn’t Dream Of Being A WAHM
I want to apologize. I haven’t been posting here as often as I wanted to. I’ve been busy. Busy thinking. Busy planning. Busy reading. Busy with life. Just busy. One of the things I’ve been busy with is thinking about my journey to being a work at home mom (wahm). On a snowy winter night […]
The Methuselah Project Book Review
In World War II, German scientists began many experiments. One never ended. I am not a science fiction buff by any means. I honestly expected The Methuselah Project to be like a science fiction novel. I. Was. Wrong. Very. Wrong. The Methuselah Project is not by any means a science fiction novel. It’s a mixture of history, […]

Through Water’s Deep Book Review
I adore reading about life during WWII. Interestingly enough, I never read a book about Navy life during his time period. Through Water’s Deep was a great introduction to Navy life during WWII. Well, technically, the book begins before the official date that the United States entered the war. I am fascinated by the people […]

The Midwife’s Tale Book Review
Pregnant woman today are pretty lucky. They can decide what type of birth they want, if they want a midwife or a doctor and even if they want to have pain medication during labor. This was not the case in the 1800s. In the past, only midwifes attended pregnant women. Doctors treated men. Towards the […]
Experience Healing and Mending with Cynthia Ruchti’s New Book and Reclaimed Treasures Giveaway
“A Crumpling Statue. A Torn Tapestry. A Faded Painting” is written on the back of this book. What does this mean? Is it a book about art? It sure seems like it. It absolutely is. But not art as in painting, drawing or sculpting. An art that we can see every day, if we just look. […]
