Please pray for my dear friend, Mat. Anna, and her family as the mourn the loss of their unborn child.
Charlotte Mason said, “[Children] should have the best of their mother, her freshest, brightest hours” (Vol. 1, p. 18). For me, my “freshest” and “brightest” hours are in the morning. I am able to stay calm and patient with my children far better in the earlier portion of the day than I can in the [...]
Svetlana is at the hospital this morning to have her baby. After all that she has been through, please pray for an easy and safe delivery of their little girl.
A friend posted about a candle that her family is using for Lent this year, and I thought it would be fun to do the same with our children. When Spunky, Bunky, and I went to the grocery store the other day, we picked up a plain, white glass candle. At that moment, I didn’t [...]

Rather than let them run around like chickens with their heads cut off, I decided to give them a project to do. My children love putting together little books. Spunky does it nearly [...]
This morning I read an article about a couple who aborted their twin boys because they wanted a baby girl. One of the very sad things about this article is that, prior to these abortions, the family lost a baby girl. Now the mother is going to great lengths to add another daughter to their [...]
At around 4:50 this evening I started thinking about baby Evelyn as I hadn’t before, and then I realized why: she had been born almost exactly a week before.
