::a boy who will kill the snakes around here…What is up with these things this year God?!
Praying for…
I am praying for clarity for a private intention. I am also praying for charity for a separate intention. Let me just say, charity is hard to come by for me when someone crosses, what I consider, a line with my children. I am praying for the virtues of diligence, fortitude and consistency as I plan our new school year.
Pondering…
Here’s the deal, my older children are mature and I think sometimes people assume they can speak a little more freely than they actually can or should. Now some might think I’m just over protective–so be it. I would rather err on the side of caution verse scandal any day.
Listening to…
The washing machine churning (thank you good and faithful friend) and the air conditioner blowing (again, thank you good and faithful friend) and my faithful Kari Jobe
obsessed very fond of O Mary of Graces and God of Mercy and Compassion.

Trim Healthy Mama
I’ve gotten lax in finding new recipes. Which means I’m kind of bored, but not enough to cheat. So I’ve been looking at some new recipes to add to our menu. I seem to go through this every summer so it’s not a Trim Healthy Mama
And…to go along with breakfast the other morning I made a delicious, super yummy frappe. I took the basic Fat Stripping Frappe recipe, (I never use the glucomannan) added some cream, which made it an {S}. I then added 3 ice cubes made of coffee and a touch of caramel extract…Oh My Gracious! And I don’t even like coffee!
Home Learning…
We are all almost finished, just some math to be completed. I’m reading and thinking and envisioning what our next year of home learning should and could look like and trying to balance it with what it will look like.
Captured…
If you follow me on Instagram, I posted “A Day in the Life” series of pictures the other day.

Thank you God for chickens! Praying for your intentions.
I recently had a conflict come up as well though not with my kids. Those soul sisters are invaluable at those times. I am praying for you.

How is Growing Up Dugger, Jenny? I have read the other two Duggar books and loved them. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on this one!

I am really enjoying it. I loaded on my two oldest girls Kindle. Hopefully we can discuss it once we’ve read it
I love your captured picture! So cute. I also need to check out some of your reads.

Yes, it’s hard to be charitable when it comes to your kids! Praying for you. My mom was just telling me about the Dugger books. I want to check them out, although I feel like I already have too many others waiting to be read. LOL. Have a blessed week.
