Valentine’s Day Traditions

#sigosherts #mondayfunday Valentine’s Day morning breakfast was a tradition I grew up with. My mother was not a morning person, and often she had to work late at night. Mornings, before school, my sister and I were usually on our own, from the time we were in middle school. But every year, on Valentine’s Day, …

What’s It Like?

#sigosherts #mondayfunday So….now what? The last three years have been spent preparing (okay, God’s been preparing us for longer than that) to come to the Solomons, and we are here now.

There are 24 apartments total, …

The Significant Task of Home Schooling

She said, “Katie has the significant task of home schooling their five children.” If you are familiar with Gallops Strength Finders, Significance is one of my top most strengths. Every moment of every day I am seeking significance, looking for opportunities to make significance, out of thin air if I must. I know in my brain that home schooling my kids is indeed significant, but it is so easy to lose sight of the significance when I am in the trenches of spelling tests, attitude checks and chapter books. I enjoy my kids and I am so grateful to be able to home school them, but sometimes my search for significance leads my eyes astray, and I can get down trodden. This statement has spurred me on!
