10 months

It came to my attention last night that we have been in Massachusetts for 10 months already. It seems like just yesterday that we left NOLA but in fact it's been 11 months. There are things that I really miss about NOLA, I miss my friends, Cafe Du Monde, MOPS, even the house we where we lived. I want to visit again and show the kids as they age how much history and culture there is in the city I called home for 14 years of my life.

I love it here too and part of me is already dreading the time it comes to move away. There are so many more things I want to go and explore here.

As much as some think I might be crazy, I absolutely love winter and while there have been days where it has been DOWNRIGHT COLD, I really like it. I am so amazed at the beauty of snow/ice on the trees. The look of a snow covered field that is so pure it reminds me of how Christ is PURE and makes me pure with the Blood of Salvation.

In a little while it will be spring with the birds singing and the beauty of new creation shines through. The flowers will bloom and trees bud. God is showing me that after Christ takes away my sin I will be made a new creation in HIM. As my memory verse for this time, God is PLEASED to make me HIS own.

I'm with you. I love the winter. I would love your winter more than mine though!

Mission Statement


I would like our home to be clutter-free, inviting and peaceful. My goal is to decide which tasks I need to do or delegate each day so we can maintain a better, more organized lifestyle. My goals also include providing an environment where my children can learn to be productive and Godly people. I want my family and others to know that this house is one where they can be free to live simply, love deeply and laugh abundantly. I want to be able to invite friends over without having to clean up for three days beforehand.
