This week I started reading 31 Days to Clean and participating in the HOMEmaker’s Challenge working through it. I am really enjoying this book. If there was any doubt before, this book has confirmed something to me. I am more of a Martha than a Mary. At least my natural inclination is more that way. …
Who was John Knox? He was a leader (if not THE leader) of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. That is about the extent of what I knew about him. I also had a sort of vague idea that most of the modern history books aren’t too kind to him. That was before I read the …
We had a nice day yesterday. After worship at church in the morning, we went to my in-laws home for a nice meal and an Easter egg hunt. My husband’s oldest sister and family were there too. Here are a couple of sort of decent pictures of us. It’s a rare picture with middle son …
I admit it. I take after my grandmother. I have a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde complex. I hate clutter, but I hate to throw useful things away. Even if I know I won’t need them. Take broken crayons, for example. I’m not so mean that I make my kids use the crayons down …
It must be something about the season. It’s spring here. The trees are getting green, the azaleas are just about ready to bloom. Everything is fresh and new. I love it! It gets me in the planning and organizing mood. It’s not just the house I want to organize. I’m so ready to start planning …

I can’t believe it, but I actually did it. I just finished reading Revelation about an hour ago. That means I read through the entire Bible in 89 days! I had read through the Bible before, but it had been awhile. I have never read through it this fast though. (Though I started the challenge …
I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seats wondering how much I’ve done on my list in one week. No? Well, that’s what I’m blogging about today. Switch the kids’ winter clothes for spring clothes. Clean out kids’ closets. Do a thorough dusting of the kids’ rooms. Change upstairs filter. Do a thorough …
It’s amazing what a difference a few days can make. I worked hard this weekend getting caught up on grading and school planning. I made sure I was ready to face Monday morning before… Monday morning! And I felt so much better today. School went well. Then I started on my spring cleaning list. We …
I’ve been busy. It’s tough coming back from a long trip. I’ve had to catch up on things at HSB. I’ve had to catch up on laundry. This week I also had to finish preparing the Kids 4 Truth cards for our children’s ministry and prepare clothes for a consignment sale. School was just “do …
