Answered Prayers

This is actually going to be a running list of prayers that are answered in my life.  Sometimes, because my big prayer (a baby) doesn't get answered, I feel like God isn't listening, so I think this will be a great way to keep track of all the awesome things God DOES do in my life!

-My brother had started down an not so great path at the end of high school and his first year out of high school.  I prayed that he would change his behavior before it was either to late, or it bit him in the butt.  He recently joined the Army and called me when he got out of boot camp and said that he had stopped doing one of the unsavory things he was doing and that he had been going to church every Sunday!  Hopefully he continues down his new path.
-Michael and I had started watching Weeds on Netflix (yes this one is weird...) and while it started out alright, it quickly got WAY out of hand, since Showtime and HBO seem to think they need to add massive amounts of swearing and some "soft-core" porn to their shows.  They also started to insult Christians on a regular basis, and I felt like we shouldn't watch it anymore.  I tend to be a naggy wife, and am often telling Michael we should make better choices.  I decided to leave this one up to God and prayed that if he didn't want us watching the show anymore, he would have Michael decide that we shouldn't watch it, so I don't have to be a bossy-britches.  A couple of days later Michael decided we shouldn't watch it anymore!

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birth of our

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu
