Taking Care of Momma

My kids have been so wonderful to me this past week! I have been down with pnuemonia and keith has had to miss some work to help out, but oh they have been awesome! I feel so loved!!! Sydney has done my chores, Marlee is always trying to comfort me with a blanket and care bear, and Dylan has been working hard to help out with the house and make sure momma is taking her medicine! I am so blessed! We are behind in school because of me, but we will make it up and it will be fun! Today is my last dr appt hopefully! We are praying for good news. Keith needs to get back to work and I need to get back to being the momma ;)

First Annual Homeschool Tour!!!

I am sooo curious and well, ok nosey, about how other families homeschool. I have decided to host a little "tour" of homeschool families on my blog. I am going to set up a mister linky, and all you need to do is take some pics and show us around your homeschool !! Show your area you homeschool in, your organization tips, fun activities youve done, whatever you feel like!! I hope to have mine up by the end of the week! Pass this along, and one special homeschooler will win a gorgeous gift basket from Lehi Roller Mills, with muffin mixes and more!!! The more pics and explaining the better lol!!!
Im so excited!!!!

Getting Personal.....


I have a really tough time with my self worth and self esteem as a mother and woman of God. I always feel like Im not doing good enough, that my children and husband deserve more, that I could be serving more, etc. So, today as an "experiment" Im writing in my journal all of the these I do today. All the little things, and how I felt when I did them. Im going to try and make myself see that I do more than nothing. I have been praying hard that Heavenly Father will help me to see myself as He sees me. I have alot of challenges, sick child, disabled child, onery child, plus health issues of my own, and financial issues. But I have sooo many blessings, to many to even list. I know that Im not the perfect mom, nor is there even a such thing, but I am hoping today to be able to look back and say ' I did ok today and thats great!'. I actually recommend this to any mom. I may post my list here, not sure yet. If anyone else feels like it let me know, we can share together. I am going to say a specific prayer for all the momma's out there who just dont feel good enough. We have the most important job in this entire world. We have to work hard, but I think we also have to give ourselves a break too. We arent perfect. But we can try our best. So, today, I write down the little things. Maybe those little things will add up one day. Maybe I will look at my children and grandchildren and say, wow, that was SO worth it and I did a good job!!!!! ;) my love and prayers to all the momma's today!
