Just a Moment...

Howdy & Shalom!  Let me take just a moment to introduce myself...  

I'm a homeschooling mom of five.  My two daughters graduated from home and are soon to graduate from college.  I'm still educating my three sons at home.  We use a variety of homeschool curricula and resources, and my husband & I are in the process of writing our own homeschool curriculum.

 I enjoy learning to "Do It Myself!"  And I'm a fervent believer in all-natural things.  So, I make my own household cleaning products, air fresheners, laundry detergent, personal care items (like toothpaste, deodorant, etc.), and I blend my own essential oils for me & my family.  I like to keep my fingers busy with crochet and jewelry making, and I am learning Hebrew!  I follow Torah and the whole Bible, to the best of my understanding, & like to talk about Bible Things.  I also wear headwraps and have posted a few tutorials for some of the wraps I do.  

 This blog is for the purpose of sharing my thoughts, ideas, experiences, and skills with you.  I hope you enjoy what you find here.  💝

Erev Shabbat Wrap!

My Wrap of the Day for Erev Shabbat! 💖 I'm getting ready for Shabbat to start tonight, at sundown.  Today I'm wearing this three-scarf, layered wrap with a braid.  I even got a little bold and added TWO accents.  Can you see them?  I used a thin pearlized headband and a stretchy headband with peach pearls & rhinestones. Shabbat Shalom, Y'all! 💖

Snapped.

Got a minute to talk?  Do you ever have a day where you just can't take one more criticism or complaint? Not. One. More. I had that day today.  And I got a little snappy.  I'm not proud of myself.  In fact, I feel pretty rotten about it.  I'll probably need to make a phone call tomorrow to humbly apologize. Have you ever been there?  Your plans aren't working out.  You're tired and irritable.  You've felt picked on and picked over.  You're worn out, sensitive, spent, overwhelmed. And someone else comes along and their words feel like stingers.  You smile and try to hold yourself together.  Inside, you're yelling, "Stop it! leave me alone!"  On the outside, you take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, offer a silent prayer for patience.  The biting words keep coming.  And you snap.  You regret it immediately, but it's impossible to take it back.  I was there tonight.  I was hurting, and I hurt someone with my words.
