"Do not yield to discouragement in the face of difficulties and do not abandon yourselves to false solutions which often seem the easiest way to overcome problems. Do not be afraid to make a commitment, to face hard work and sacrifice, to choose the paths that demand fidelity and constancy, humility and dedication. Be confident in your youth and its profound desires for happiness, truth, beauty and genuine love! Live fully this time in your life so rich and so full of enthusiasm."
"Let us look with greater hope to the future; let us encourage one another on our journey."
~ Papa Benedict XVI

Eating in Season

A big hello (some long over due) to our newest followers..... Eva, Richard, Raising & Teaching Little Saints, Jessica, Sancta Risus, Jen, and Giuseppe Ambrose!  We are so glad you've joined us!

Welcome to our blog! I hope you will stop in regularly and walk away with even the smallest bit of new information or at least a smile. This blog has a mind of its own, for sure. I write about more than i had planned to and on everything from homeschooling to parenting, feast days to our family life in general. Lately its been more just life in general as school and sports are winding down....

Please feel free to comment, but also to ask questions.
Welcome!

Eating in Season...no fancy ideas or suggestions, just us enjoying God's bounty!  We wrote about strawberry picking some time last month (it might have just been a quick note buried in a post) and this month we had the opportunity to pick blueberries!  We never had before so this was a real treat. 

The farm was beautiful.  Just a small farm owned by grandparents of one of our homeschool group families.  Very family friendly.  Very knowledgeable and willing to teach.  We had a great time.
We picked, we ate, we came home and baked!

Uniquely You

Have you ever really thought about how unique you are?  We are all made in the likeness and image of God but we are all so different.  There is no one else like you in this world.  Sure, we know people who are similar, but there is always a point where you veer off into your own ...whatever. A mom ...i know tons of them.  Catholic .... yep, know a lot of them too.  Homeschooling.... the list is getting shorter.  Military B.R.A.T.  ... now we're narrowing the field! Wait, did you attend ASU? ...no, the other one.  Do you love art?  and do you read non stop (well i don't either but i wish i could!) How many children do you have?  (no, i'm not being funny! I get asked this enough...)

People never cease to amaze me .... the beauty of the human spirit.  The soul.  No matter what you believe in, you can't turn your back on the Truth.  Its staring at you in the mirror. The likeness and image of God.  Each person you meet, your child, your spouse.  Right there, you are facing God.
