It has been SO cold for the past 2 weeks... like -35C everyday! 🥶 Since we’ve been stuck inside I decided it was the perfect time to try a 1950s Housewife Schedule! I had almost as much fun trying it as I did researching it! Check out my latest blog post to find the daily, weekly, and monthly 1950s housewife routines and my experience trying it. Plus you will also learn how they got it all done with little ones, what their hobbies were, and a sample of their beauty routine! Link is in my bio 💖

Happy Advent Season My Dear Friends! I have recent

Happy Advent Season My Dear Friends! I have recently wrote a blog post about fully embracing the season of Advent as a homemaker. To read... the link is in my bio.
I also want to take a moment to thank you all for your kind messages during my absence from social media❤️
As my morning sickness worsened I realized I needed to permanently delete all social media from my phone and I must say it has been the best thing for our family. Going forward I will be checking in every so often from my laptop to respond to messages or make a quick post. So I ask you to please be patient with me if you message or make a comment. I will be most active on my blog so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a post.

We’ve got some news... We are adding another lit

We’ve got some news...
We are adding another little pumpkin to our pumpkin patch!! Our little one will be arriving early May, 2022 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are so grateful that the Lord is growing our family and that we can share our news with you all. Please keep our family in your prayers ♥️

You are welcome in my home 🌻 In a world that is

You are welcome in my home 🌻
In a world that is getting more and more divisive and people are getting pitted against one another, I want to say to you that you are always welcome in my home. We may not agree on many beliefs, but I will always open my door to you and serve you with love, a warm meal, and a cup of tea.

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”
~Galatians 5:13-15
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our children our watching us mamas. They learn how to treat one another by how we treat one another everyday. We must then ask ourselves are we modelling how Jesus served or allowing the spirit of fear creep in?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s allow our homes to be open for all who need a refuge from this world.

Mama is the first word my sweet Clara Grace said.

Mama is the first word my sweet Clara Grace said. From the moment I saw the positive pregnancy test, God gave me the responsibility to nurture, love, and protect her. To train up her in the way she should go, so even when she is old she will not depart from it. ~Proverbs 22:6
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This world is attacking our children and my dear sweet mama I know it can be fearful at times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whenever these thoughts of fear creep in, we must be reminded that the Lord has called us to this role at this very time and it is through leaning on His strength + wisdom and not our own that we can be the mama our children need.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Do not be swayed by those who ignore God’s way,
Who limit their children and leave them each day,
as you receive God’s “gifts” and at home with them stay,
You’ll be a light to save others from going astray.
Your sweet, gentle spirit is precious in God’s sight.
As you serve in your home with all your might
You are revealing the spirit of Jesus your King
Who showed us how to serve in everything.”
~ Nancy Campbell @_above_rubies_

✨WE ARE MOVING TO ALBERTA!!!✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been 3 years of praying to God that we would be able to one day move back home to Alberta and that dream is coming true. We will be starting our new chapter this summer!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m in complete awe of the story God is writing and still can’t believe it is happening. Please keep our family in your prayers as we will be driving across the country soon!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
~ Philippians 4:6-7
