Habit of family journaling

Often I longed to… write down that cute something a child said… trace around a pudgy little hand… mark a special triumph or… give thanks for a provision dropped in our laps.

Cleaning Thankfully

It is so easy to feel bogged down by the day to day business of taking care of a family. You finally get the last pair of socks folded and put away when today’s laundry gets tossed in the hamper. Muddy paws and feet traipse across your freshly mopped floor. The couch pillows never seem […]

habits for the homeschool year

new homeschool year begins  originally published  August 13, 2008 by littlesanctuary I am planning to start our school year on Monday. After twelve years of homeschooling, I have learned to ease in slowly, so as not to plunge into chaos too quickly. We must ease into it so that it is almost unnoticeable. Gone are the years […]

What fragrance are you wearing?

Several weeks ago, I switched up my normal routine and went walking in the morning, thinking I might get in a brisk walk before the summer sun had a chance to heat the air beyond my ability to tolerate it.  I quickly realized  that I had made a couple of mistakes.  One, it was already […]

Story Time

We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the law in Israel, which he commanded our forefathers to teach their children,so the next generation would know them, even […]

The Habit of Seeing Him

The Habit of seeing Him. If you are like me, you spend much of your day going through the normal ordinary activities of the day. If we could only learn to see Him in the ordinary, we would see how close He really is to us.  Today look for Him and teach your children the […]

Quiet Time with the Lord

He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. Matthew 14:23b I have always read the bible, bible story books and devotions to my two boys. I play Hymns, Contemporary Christian and even some Christian Alternative and Hip Hop music for them. We pray together daily, […]

A Solid Foundation

Okay, this is a pretty basic topic, but I don’t think we can start talking about habits for a happy home without a good foundation. Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the […]

Welcome!

Most of us probably have a picture of what we believe a happy home looks like. I’m not talking about white-picket fences here, but rather the day-to-day reality of a happy family.  Is your home characterized by kindness, contentment and joy, or by frustration, irritability, and disorder?
