Remember HIM

Its that time again....Huddling close to the heater .Trying to create a gift for everyone.Getting ready for mission trip I lead 2 days after Christmas..How did life get so busy? Thank God for those almost daily bubble baths with a good book (and tea) ! Feels so good to get those projects done ! Rooms cleaned up ,packages mailed. Just need to find that time to spend with Him ..The one that created me............. Excited to start my daily outline of Bible reading Jan 1 again. Feel so good eating food in the way it was created to be eaten (Lots of raw yummy stuff ).Thats given me energy to keep up with myself. Thank You God for giving us your Son.Help us to find new ways to experience and know Him

Dare to Dream

I Love This picture ! We use to have a home group called Dare To Dream.I am catching the vision again...We have so many good ideas...Need them to be God ideas for us to do them...Land next door is for sale..Would help us expand our retreat center and we can teach and impart Green living, gardening, creative arts (so want to start a girls club with the grand baby twins and their friends...soon ! ) Keep looking for mini donkey/horse to have for our petting zoo.Playing around with raw food..Not a purest but Man o Man How do people say alive of soda,white bread,sugar etc??? I guess some dont.Would love to do a healing center here with real food cooking, etc.Maybe a B&B for next yr to get started..? I want to do more the just dream I want to do it all ! O God guide us, provide for the vision....Your vision for what you want us to do...Protect us and use us..Aman

Moms center vision

I have a vison of a place....... Where Moms could come and get so much ! Its so cool maybe our town would give us a building free?I wish I could clone myself to pull it off. I know others do this at some level in some areas..anyways here goes....

• A Building in town called the Moms place.
• Art, music,dance classes for kids and Moms
• Natural Birth , Breastfeeding, nutrition classes etc
• drop in play group for moms and kids wanting to PLAY and fellowship
• coop for natural food
• PNV and PPV could be done there for homebirth clients
• A resource lib of books, videos etc could be used there (on nutrition, finances,kids, etc)
• referrals for other community resources
• Health food snack bar
• all at low cost so all could come
• school tutoring could be done there while moms and other kids do other things
• Free clothes, toy exchange
• O God ..If this be YOU then let it happen. Through me or someone else. There are so many needs out there.I know it could be a good thing for so many.All towns need a place like this!

Living Simple ?

Didn't realize how behind I am on this.In my mind I blog all the time....find cool pictures, read blog magazines etc .O to have the time to really do it.Someday.... thats my goal ! I also want a cool etsy shop and link all my cool crafts I make and sell.(But what is there left to do?? Seams like its already all  ben done. ! I get dizzy looking at all the cook stuff on there. ) I love the sayings and ideas of just living simple...Sounds and feels so right.But to do it...HOW ???? ......What can I cut out?? Its all so good.AND I just added to it all.I am taking a Dance for Birth instructor class in 2 weeks to teach belly dance to pregnant ladies and new moms. PLUS  Twin grandkids age 6  want me to do a kid art class after school which  is up my alley .Have cool art studio that will be fun to use to do it. O what to call it Dancing daughters paint, Daughter of the King, Stars and Hearts club.?.The list goes on .Maybe God will show me in a dream ..Too busy to figure it out . well at least my new broom was bought today now I can keep up with my grandbaby who will be here at 7 am .....What was that about living simple???

Busy Busy

Winter Babies...

Have had some fast ones .Go Sara ! (arrived at the birth center ready to push with 1st baby !)



Had some slow ones..ended up in hospital with 1 for it being over 36 hrs with SLOW progress. Sure was a joy when that one finally arrived..Still was a nice birth and they were happy.

Snow has fallen a few

times this winter. Glad for the wood stove (but not the mess and smoke) . also glad spring is in the air and wood stove is back resting again in the barn !I would so like one of those out side wood

stoves someday ! Even if we do live in S.C.

Grand kids have had birthdays..I made the dresses..still deciding if pink one is a day dress or PJs :-).Oh dont those little girls LOVE their Birth day partys !

Twins got flower girls dresses as they were in a wedding party here at the house a week later.

Fun new craft project I discovered.You attach pictures to smooth glass and make cool gifts.I really like the ones at added Bible verses to.

I love this new program I found on my computer ! Took in my living room with out a camera ! Go computer ! Ok well I think I am kind of caught up...so much for posting daily ! Will show off my new greenhouse, Chris new semi, and my Dom Rep trip thats next week in future posts. By for now...

November New England trip

Goat cheese making stop we made in NY


Nov trip to see relatives in NY and NH was fun. We flew up and I did fight a ear issue (baratrama- from being on 7 flights in 1 week ! ) Fluid turned into ear infection so I was not all there but still had fun.

Hung with Chris folks and siblings in NY then drove to NH to see my aunt Barbara.

A few stops in were Shaker Village in NH, Ocean at Nantasket Beach in Mass (Where I use to climb rocks as a kid),Church thrift sales on Sat (awesome finds ! ), Craft tours in NH, yarn dying in NY, Wineries in the Finger Lakes of NY. Full trip !

We also caught a conference in Mass that my old pastor was leading.

After being home we then took off to NC to do thanksgiving with son Corey and his family.Son Joel and his family of 6 came too.

Garden plans

naturally-healthy-lifestyle.com

This is a cool web site from my previous client (I delivered her baby about 12 yrs ago ). I so love all she stands for . Very cool. Wish more folks would do gardens......I hope next yr mine will be so nice that everyone who sees it will want to do one too ! I like gardening for so many reasons..Good for kids to learn, good to be outside and moving around, can get cheep organic produce, can help if there is a food shortage, gets you in touch with the outdoors, is pretty (esp if you add some flowers to it - I really like the edible ones) . My goal is to get a greenhouse set up this winter to make my own plants from seeds and to have a fun hang out place next to our new outside bread/pizza over thats 1/2 done. Pictures someday to follow (I hope )
