Cleaning and my baby girl

In the eyes of a cute 2 year old little girl, there are few things more kissable than a freshly polished, streak-free, glass door, window, oven or mirror. :)

LL:  The messy signs of life in my house are much more cherished than a lifeless, spotless house. 

Thank You, Lord.

Surprise!

My husband told our children that he had a surprise for them this Friday.  We're getting some fish which will be the first pet they've ever had.  They're really excited and keep trying to guess what the surprise is.  My oldest son came to me this morning and declared, "Mommy, I'm so excited for Daddy's surprise this Friday! I think it's a brother and sister."

Ha.  That WOULD be a surprise.

Lesson Learned: Children can be so hilarious and dead serious at the same time.

Introduction

The thought of a blog has excited me for quite some time. 

As I've thought about all that God has taught me as a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mother of four children, many, many lessons have been learned.  Some are practical and simple, like how to clean efficiently (www.flylady.net). Some take a lifetime to learn, like how sin is a waste of time, a waste of life, and that it's effects on those around us have real consequences.

So here we are.  I have an unsatiable desire to learn, and I thought I'd share whatever it is I do learn here.  I pray it is a blessing to others as well.
