Pray for Mom

My Mom has pain in her legs and pelvis which has been getting increasingly worse for the last seven years. After going to multiple doctors we finally found that she has Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, which is basically major varicose veins inside of the pelvis. She is going in for surgery this morning, and will hopefully be back home in the evening. Please pray that all goes well and that she can be back soon.

A New Blog

The Overworked Elocutionist

Narrations from a Large Homeschooling Family

http://theoverworkedelocutionist.blogspot.com/

Thomas, Pierce, Zoe and I decided to start a blog on which we could post written narrations of what we are learning in school and on the hobby farm (Zoe especially was thrilled to write on a blog). Due to our difference in age and interest there should eventually be posts about history, science, math, government, poems, stories, farming, etc. Basically, anything which we find interesting or which Mom wants us to write about. I hope you enjoy reading and learning with us!

Joyfully at Home Giveaway

Joyfully at Home has been one of the most encouraging blogs which I have found. Written by Jasmine Baucham, daughter of Voddie Baucham, this blog has been encouraging in my christian walk as a stay-at-home daughter of my earthly father and my heavenly Father. But alas, Jasmine has decided to leave her blog behind, and instead leave a book to encourage any girl who might pass by.  Jasmine's book addresses how you can fulfill the Great Commission at home during your years of singleness, under the authority of your father. Even though I haven't read this book yet, I would highly recommend it. There is a giveaway of this book at Feminine Farmgirl (ending tomorrow), but if you happen to miss this you can purchase the book from Vision Forum. If you would like a preview of her book, please read her Joyfully Content series, which began the writing of her book, just a few months ago.
