Our 9th year releasing painted lady butterflies wa

Our 9th year releasing painted lady butterflies was another smashing success! And it accidentally became a spring tradition when I was very pregnant with Mr. F and Mr. T was a very active toddler in the throes of apraxia, SPD, and major food allergy craziness.
.
There is always a choice in our response to life and its many events and circumstances that we do *not* get a choice in. We can choose joy - a brave but difficult and sometimes companionless path - or we can choose self-pity - the path of least resistance where you’ll find lots of company. Whatever you choose, know that your children will ultimately model their own wills after what they observe in you.
.
You may see just another homeschool nature study, but I see a colorful and beautiful reminder that God delights in sustaining His children even in the midst of very difficult times. Today I needed that reminder again and hope that if you find yourself in hard circumstances today that it encourages you as well, friend.

My sweet husband and boys dug those rocks out of o

My sweet husband and boys dug those rocks out of our yard so I could make more beds and build the wall up the side of the hill. It may not look spectacular or Pinterest worthy, and a lot of ordinary things don’t. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t beautiful.
.
Those red clay stained rocks were dug up by hands belonging to my beloveds. They didn’t have to gift me an act of service that required much from them, but they did.
.
And every day I get to see and be thankful for their hearts and how the Holy Spirit is working in and on all of us.
.
May you find loveliness in the mundane and ordinary today, sweet friend. These everyday graces are so very sustaining.

Homeschool Old School 101: Strawberry picking and

Homeschool Old School 101: Strawberry picking and canning.
.
I’m out of practice and goofed up the headspace on my half pints 🤦🏻‍♀️ but it was really fun to don my old school apron and can again. I used a basic strawberry jam recipe but used my homemade vanilla sugar, caviar and pods from two Mexican cured Madagascar vanilla beans, and Pomona’s pectin. I can’t wait to dig into it 😋 with some scones and clotted cream!
.
Do you preserve food for your family to enjoy when it’s out of season? The boys were much younger the last time I canned regularly so this was a new experience for them. Their verdict is that it makes the house really hot 🤣🤣🤣. But my darling little hobbits have agreed to help do more so long as they get to eat it, too. The joys of being a #boymom 😉.

Mama, these little rhythms and celebrations you ar

Mama, these little rhythms and celebrations you are training your littles in will help shape them. These brief moments of joy will impact them as they learn and grow. You, probably exhausted and wondering if any of it is “taking”, rejoice in the tiny moments when you see the beginnings of good fruit.
.
And then you blink. And your littles are young people full of life, interests, and deep thoughts. They call you to the house for a surprise and serve you with joy and care. You share in laughter and conversation and tea and toast with butter.
.
These glimpses of their character are beautiful and so very edifying. Though the rough days still happen, too. We just know with more certainty now that all our pouring into our children is indeed an effort worth carrying on.
.
Further up and further in, friend. We are raising a generation of world changers and now is the time to stand fast and speak life into their hearts and our own.

Growing things is an experience that everyone shou

Growing things is an experience that everyone should undertake in some capacity. There is nothing else quite like it. Why, you ask?
.
Because patience is a fruit of the spirit produced through submitting our “I want it now” inner Verucas to the will of the Holy Spirit.
.
Because good things grow slowly and we cannot impart that wisdom to our children if we are consumed by our instant gratification culture.
.
Because dirt under our nails reminds us that we are but dust and someday the only remnant of us will be the legacy of Kingdom work we leave behind when our race is done.
.
Because flowers, be they ruffled peonies or tender pea blossoms, remind us of the beauty and grace our gracious Lord bestows on us.
.
Because like gardens in winter, we are also called to rest in order to be ready for future work.
.
Because tending is an act of worship.
.
Because the Lord commands us to subdue the earth.
.
Because we are not in control and planting seeds is an act of faith.
.
Because our bodies are not our own and need exercise and healthy food.
.
Because abundant harvests provide for our families and neighbors and remind us of God’s blessings.
.
Because our children need to see us serving- the Lord, them, our spouses, our neighbors.
.
Because we all need more vitamin D, more time rejoicing in the things He has made, and less time in the virtual world that holds us hostage to the world and it’s expectations.
.
This boy waited 6 (long) weeks to see these cucamelons to sprout. There have been many small lessons and even a bit of despair that they would never come up, but you better believe he’s excited for the new life in his mini gnome farm! Again I say- Get thee a garden, friend! It’s well worth it to spend a little time growing something new.

They are interesting little humans, these children

They are interesting little humans, these children of ours. They have unique interests and abilities that they were given for a purpose. We don’t get to know their purpose ahead of time, though.
.
The tension between helping them pursue their interests and our own dreams of what our homeschool would look like is sometimes tenuous, and we must fight the urge to force our children into boxes we hoped to check off for them.
.
We cannot guess the wonders that He has planned for their lives, but we can nurture the seeds of interest, passion, and inquiry that He planted in them as they were knit together. The Lord in His wisdom has given us charge over these precious ones and they may well be our greatest contribution to His kingdom coming here on earth as it is in heaven.
.
Nurture your sweet ones today, friend. Give them Truth, goodness, beauty, and much grace as you disciple them through this brief but lovely growing time. Be brave and stand fast. The days sometimes feel long but the years are fleeting.

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyse

'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

A little Shakespeare and an English rose for your Saturday. Have a beautiful day, sweet friend!

The scrapes and bruises from his bicycle accident

The scrapes and bruises from his bicycle accident Tuesday are healing well and the dentist today was amazing. You can’t even tell that he chipped his tooth almost to the nerve 😳. Sigh. Being a mother is sometimes nothing like those delicate and delightful paintings by Mary Cassatt, but there is no occupation to which I’d rather be called.
.
Rejoice in the trials, friends. It’s just another way the Holy Spirit sands away our rough edges 💕.

From our kitchen table I watch our twice yearly vi

From our kitchen table I watch our twice yearly visitor, a stunning rose breasted grosbeak, devouring sunflower seeds from our feeder as I sip a strong cup of Yorkshire Gold tea and ponder the wonders of home.
.
In a culture that belittles the grand calling of motherhood and pushes with so many weakly veiled needlings of how we should “be more, do more, play big, love ourselves above everything” - we are quiet rebels you and I. We are fighting an epic battle against villains we can hardly define through the thick shadows and we are doing it by serving with willing hearts and open hands those within our spheres of influence.
.
We battle the darkness with each kiss to a dirty forehead, with each candle we light and cup of tea that we pour, with every cookie we bake, with every snuggle we give instead of mowing over tender hearts in our quest to “get things done”.
.
We are warrior mothers and our battle cries of love and wonder and mercy and grace will echo out into eternity as we turn our hearts to our Father in heaven and rightly order our affections towards Him and toward the precious souls He has entrusted into our care.
.
Keep learning to love what must be done and delight in your extraordinary calling, dear friend. This life of messy home and overflowing heart is a eucatastrophe in the making. And as we see our part to completion - what a glorious end it will be!
