A New Venture In Blogging

I have been patiently waiting to share my new venture in blogging with you, and the time is now!





Along with 29 other wives and mothers, there is a new blog in town,born of the idea from Sarah Avila at My Joy Filled Life. I can't tell you the honor it is for me to be a part of this blog, which focuses on large family living. Honestly, I never would have considered five children a 'large' family, although apparently it is to many others! I guess each child came one at a time, so it never felt 'large' to me. However, I am excited at the idea that maybe through the life we are blessed to have, with our family that God has given us, I might be used to be an encouragement to someone else.

 I would love to have you come look at the new blog, which is set to launch June 1!

 To find the blog, check out Fruitful Families at www.fruitfulfamilies.com.

 To find Fruitful Families on facebook, go to Fruitful Families on facebook.

 For a look at the Fruitful Families Pinterest boards, where every post that comes up will be pinned for the future, go to Fruitful Families Pinterest Boards.

 Last, but not least, to subscribe to Fruitful Families by email, where you can get almost daily emails with new encouragement, and inspiration, and ideas, go to Fruitful Families Email Subscription.

 Although the blog, and it's title, lends itself to the idea that this is a blog for large families only, please don't hesitate to stop in. Although the perspective might come from large families, the information you can read here is applicable for all families, small and large. I personally can't wait to start reading the other posts from other wives and mothers, in all walks of life, yet with this common bond between us. From the family just starting out, to the one deep in the trenches of motherhood with more things to do than her day has time for, to the mother who has watched her children grow up, homeschooled them, and now is seeing the fruits of her 'fruitful family' labors -there is bound to be something here for you!

 I do hope you will stop in, read the posts, visit the facebook page and show you support with a like and a share, and do subscribe for emails! You never know what might come up that you will learn from, or get encouragement through!

To Succeed One Must Never Give Up

Even if that means, the best you can is to blog a few times a year, and always tell yourself you'll pick it back up full time....eventually. Richard Bach said: "A professional writer is an amateur who didn't quit" My friends, I claim that for my outSTANDing blogging skills ;) (as I type this, I realize I'm searching for the emoji buttons that surely should be somewhere by now hahaha!) We didn't quit. I mean, I obviously haven't been around this blog in what feels like eons. We are still here, though, alive and kicking!  KLW is going in to the 10th grade this year. When did someone come in my house and allow that to happen? Whoever did is going to get a tongue lashing from me, because this teenager is just a few years from adulthood, and I don't know how I feel about it, to be honest with you.  She's gorgeous.... Kind of quirky.... Has some killer selfie skills She's tall.... really REALLY t

Reader's Review - Llama Llama, Red Pajama

LLama Llama, Red Pajama written and illustrated by  Anna Dewdney         You have GOT to love the Llama Llama books by Anna Dewdney! Using a llama as a subject, these books give you a different point of view - one of not the adult, but the child. In this particular Llama Llama book, it is a dreaded time of day - bed time! I don't know about you, but I can completely relate with some of my children. Llama Llama goes to bed, but there is a problem - little llama just can't settle down.     Full of bed time woes, the next couple of pictures show the climax of the distress this little llama is going through. What I find interesting here, in looking at this book a little deeper than just as a funny read for a child, is the emotion behind just such a feeling. A touch of seriousness - what if the thoughts our children are having at bed time are far more serious than we think? What may sound absurd to us - being afraid that we ar

Homeschool tidbits

                               "This isn't so bad." - SW It wouldn't seem like such a big deal to hear that, except this is SW. She balks at everything new, and most things she's done before that were new. I know that sounds crazy, but if you just knew this girl. So this week, we've been working on the relationship between multiplication and division, and how you can use one to remember the other.  We had talked about this a little before our extended winter break, but since it had been a while, she may have had a slight breakdown when I reintroduced it. Thankfully, it was short lived! We are working through reviewing multiplication facts and discovering the art of division :) And honestly, she may be one of my most hard to teach at this point in life because of her tendency to be afraid of something new, despite the fact that she is ridiculously smart and almost always catches on immediately (even if she pretends she doesn't 'get it'
