Shalom Y’all,
One thing I want to do more consistently is update my blog with personal entries. A dear friend of mine, Sylvia Britton of the Christian Homekeeper Network sent me this idea today and I love it! That structure helps me from rambling on too much (oh dear, am I already rambling? 🙂 ), but it gives me places to insert where I am.
Please feel free to share your updates with me! The first one is more generic and the second is more intimate (in my opinion). I think next time I’ll use a combination of the two! Copy the categories and insert your own answers and share with your friends! If using Facebook, make this a note and tag all your FB friends.

This is the HomeKeeper’s Journal from Sylvia Britton and the Christian HomeKeeper’s Network.
What’s happening in my home?….
Today we’re having school, even though the schools are out for a snow day.
Today is also a “cleaning” day for me on my new schedule (some days are cooking or baking or errands and some are cleaning.)
I am excited to be getting my belated birthday present from a friend. He is giving me his 55 gallon freshwater aquarium and I am buying his fish (that come with it!). I am bursting with excitement since I love, love, love my aquarium fish!
In my kitchen
Warm oatmeal with raisins and cinnamon for breakfast
Homemade whole grain pizza for lunch
Creamy Slowcooker Macaroni and Cheese and roasted broccoli for supper
With our marriage…
As we approach 28 years of marriage, we have both “mellowed” quite a bit. I’m still excitable and vocal and he’s still laid-back, but we “mesh” better. As I care for him during his post-op needs (major back surgery 8 weeks ago), we grow closer.
With the children…
It was fabulous having all the children (except Benjamin of course) home for the holidays. They are so grown up, mature and responsible! Our eldest daughter is so lovely. She left to go to Israel, where she is right now. She’ll be home and then back off to college for her final year. The 2nd son is growing in height, in his walk with Yeshua and in his musical proficiency. Our baby girl continues to bring us joy, love and sweet kisses. We are back at homeschool today.
Around the homestead…
The raised beds and containers are covered with snow and there is some damage done by the recent snow storms, high winds and downed trees. I look at the ground and wish I could get these projects done, but this is G-d’s time for the ground and the homestead to rest outdoors. I must be patient.
In my “Inner Man”…
I am excited for the fresh start the new year brings. I am looking forward to more consistency in my time alone with Yeshua and our family devotions. I desire intimacy with my King, Master and Savior and I know the only thing that hinders that, is me.
Today I read on a friend’s Facebook page something that blessed me…
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to G-d. And the peace of G-d, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah Yeshua.” Philippians:6-7
Now, it’s YOUR turn!
