About Me

I am a 42 yr old mother to 3 beautiful children, ages 19, 15,and 9. (two have type 1 diabetes.) I am married to my best friend for over 18 yrs. My life has been amazingly turned around by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Life is busy & difficult at times, but I try to remember how very blessed we are. This blog is where I talk about homemaking, homeschooling, struggles we face with our daughter and the challanges of day to day life with juvenile diabetes.

Just wanted to share



I love reading other blogs and most I've seen have posted pics on them, so I wanted to share a few things that I am enjoying this morning..








Our house faces east, so each morning as the sun comes up I get this wonderful light streaming through the glass of our front door, what you can't see in this pic is that the foyer is vaulted and we have a large arched window set up there so even more light comes in. I love it so much, and I am so glad we decided on the double entry door. I really am enjoying our new home.


This is my table in our foyer, I dressed it up for fall. I am really proud of it because I got the dresser at a scratch and dent place for $149, it has a tiny water mark on it you would hardly even notice. The topper is a valence bought on clearance, the lamp from wal-mart and the cute pumpkins and the black bird candle holders I got at the gift shop at the hospital ( not the best price but helps support a good cause). I think it looks really cute, my fav is the black birds.
















And finally...tah dah...is Cadens new bed!

(I know that its really an over sized chair with a tattered soft cot on it) But this is a major step for him. please realize that he has spent his entire life sleeping right up to mommy! Yes he was a breast baby and he thought this was the only way he could sleep. We tried many things and had finally settled on letting him sleep on a pallet beside our bed, but he still hated it and felt " left out and all alone" (his words) and " with no one to snuggle up to". Then daddy had a great ideal to put the lg chair up to our bed and fill the space with pillows, he added the softy cot ( Caden loves it) and presto.. he feels like he is still in our bed and everyone is happy. Once he gets used to sleeping alone in his space we will move toward his room upstairs. Great Job Daddy!
