Have you ever felt like there are days where the junk just keeps mounting? Like there are days where you just can't get above the water line to take a breath? Have you ever thought about how those days may be Satan playing with you? In the last few years, Satan has gotten really good at playing off of our fears, and food insecurity is one of those areas... Today I want to chat with you about facin...

How many times do we approach God with our well thought out plan trying to convince Him that our plan is the best option!? We need to make sure that we are aligning our goals to what God's goals are for us not the other way around. We need to make sure our life camera is focused so our picture perfect life isn't blurry. I mentioned www.mypillow.com! Make sure to check out their website if you are...

People will always come and go throughout our life but there is a reason we need those relationships! James Clear says there are 3 groups that we imitate: those close to us, the majority, and the powerful. Jump in with me today as we chat about how to be a good friend and why we even need friendship! Thank you Monat with Lindsay for sponsoring today's episode! If you are looking for a naturally ba...

Say it with me... "You don't have to do EVERYTHING!"  How many times do we tell ourself we have to get EVERYTHING done? How many times do we beat our self up because we don't get to everything? How many times do we expect our bodies to work when we push them beyond what they should be doing? Let me share my perspective... WAY TOO OFTEN! Mixing homeschooling, homesteading, oh and being pregnant wit...

Sometimes we lose track of who we are suppose to be competing with... When we stand in front of God on Judgement Day, He is going to ask us if we were the best We could be. He is not looking to compare us to those around us. We need to focus on being the Best Us! Thank you Rohrer Seed! This episode I gave a quick shout out about how our garden is doing with our Rohrer Seed! Make sure to check them...

How did Adam and Eve REALLY populate the world? Why did we go from living 900 years to only 120? oh and what was REALLY so special about Noah? These are always things I didn't understand! However, I started doing the Bible Recap... yes I know the goal is to start reading in January but God meets us where we are and this is where I am! It's never too late to start something new or to start over! Th...

When things aren't going right... When things are too much... When we feel like a failure! How do we start over? How do we get back on track? And what does that even mean? I golden nugget I have found is that if we are relying on ourself... our spouse... or our children to fill up our cup, then we are going to be disappointed! Let me explain as we chat today! I mention Lehman's Hardware and Applia...

One area I want to get better at is Meal Planning and controlling the amount of food that we purchase. In our budget that is the area we spend the most each month! Because, come on, you have to eat! But it is time to bring this puppy back onto a leash! This week I want to share with you some tips and tricks I picked up from Jordan Page. So lets dig in! I would love to hear your thoughts on the bea...

Ep. 48 Love is where it's at... in life we can focus so much on how green others pastures are that we forget to water our own. But if we change our focus to being grateful for the success of others and the accomplishments they have made, then there can be no root for envy! I mention the FetchApp! If you don't already use this I highly suggest it! It's super simple. Just snap a shot of any reciepts...

Welcome to Ep. 47! Our happy-go-lucky son Steven has not been so happy the last few days and it reminded me that not every day can be bliss. We are going to have those days that nothing seems to go right or that we are in a bit of a mood funk. The trick is that we can't stay there, we have to find a way out of that hole! So today I want to chat about some ideas to turn that frown upside down! Than...

Years ago, adding pigs to our homestead was my idea. Thankfully my husband took it over and is doing a much better job then I was. Pigs are so easy to raise and with a 70% dressing yield you can get so much meat off one animal! Today I want to chat with you about the cost breakdown and savings when you raise your own meat. I mention Tractor Supply in this episode. They are a great resource for all...

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:25-26 I know that God believes we are. The difficulty is that often we a...

"A jack of all trades is often a master of none, but is still better then a master of one!" Did you know that was the whole saying? I didn't! I always thought that because I dabble is so many things that it was a bad thing. Like why can't I just be great at one thing!?! But the reality is we can't compare ourselves to those around us because God has created us to be unique! We need to make the cho...

Intolerance is one of those hijacked words! It is made to be like such a terrible thing, yet as Christians we are technically intolerant! We are told that sin should not be tolerated and therefore we should be intolerant of it. So how do we do that? How do we see in black and white rather then many shades of grey? Let's chat about that today! I mention Father's Day! A few ideas... 1. mypillow.com...

For many years I thought that because I was a high school ag teacher... that was all that I could do. But we have been given so many gifts, each one unique to each person. It is important to explore those gifting areas so that we can tap into the doors that God is opening for us! I want to thank mypillow.com for working with me within this episode! I am loving our mypillow sheets and can't wait to...

Emotions are like a two year old... they can be the life of the party, but you never actually put them in charge! Emotions often get a bad rap but they were created by God and they have a purpose. We just have to find a way to use them in a balanced fashion! Many of the ideas discussed today stem from the discussions our local Bible Study where we are focusing on the Mama Bear Apologetics . Make s...

Happiness doesn't have to be complicated, yet we often make it so. We have to find ways to turn the little, everyday things, into experiences that build us up and help us store up sunshine for those rainy days when it can be hard to find the bright side.  Check out Rooted In for some more detail on the ideas I mentioned today! Thank you to Tractor Supply for working with me in today's episode! Mak...

Why isn't God doing something about this mess... I think it is time for our culture to take ownership for our part in creating the mess. Today's message is meant to be an encouragement but also a bit of hard truth. There is only 1 God and there is only 1 Truth. It is time that we realize we aren't stepping up to the plate with these 2 hard and fast facts and that we need to do better. Make sure to...

It's time to dig a bit deeper! I felt like God was really pulling on me for this one today! When we talk about shaping our home we need to realize that often the reason we do what we do has to do with how we were raised which can be good or maybe rather it is shaped in spite of how we were raised. I did not grow up in what I would consider a toxic home by any means! My parents weren't perfect, but...

I have never been one who put much thought into my home... the pillows, the pictures, these things never grabbed my attention as what I was missing. However, the last few weeks I came to the realization that it is up to me to shape my home in a way that brings God glory! Today I want to chat about how we can work to create a Proverbs 31 Home. It started to get a bit long so I decided to break this...

There are so many different seasons in life and we need to keep our balance in check. BUT if WE try to do it ourself, it's not going to work well. Today I want to give you 5 tips that I am working on to get Balance back in my life. In this episode I talk about motherhood and the fact that although it is nice to get treated one day out of the year, moms love "pick me up's" all year long. Make sure...

You know when you are chatting with God and you hear crickets for His response? Yeah that's a sign of an issue!
