Over the course of a week, I got several super fun things in the mail and I can’t WAIT to share them with you. WHY? Because these are the bonus items from this year’s Ultimate Homemaking Bundle 2017 edition which ends MONDAY, May 1st at 11:59pm EST. I’ve been a little disappointed with the last… Read More
I set an insane goal this year of reading two books a WEEK. Yes, two books a week which works out to 104 books in the year. I started off the year doing pretty good but I’ve gotten behind. I’m about 12 books behind my goal right now and I’ve got hopes I can catch… Read More

In Ethiopia alone, about 40 million people lack a clean water source and an estimated 70 million… Read More
A secret weapon in my homemaking is listening to things out loud during my day while I work around the house. It helps motivate me to get to work, helps me stay energized while I work, and becomes an incredible opportunity to learn and grow. I regularly listen to the Bible, many good podcasts, and… Read More
People ask me just about every day how I manage my time. With five kids four and under, and running our ministry full time as a family, it takes a lot of balance and juggling to manage it all. If you hop on over to YouTube and watch our Week in the Life videos, you… Read More
