it snowed! - WFMW

.....for a whole 10 minutes.....but we take what we can get around here. It was beautiful to watch even if it didn't stick.

If you've never seen photos of individual snowflakes, you need to visit one of my favorite websites . My kids and I have had some great discussions about God's creativity while looking through these amazing images.

Want to make some snowflakes of your own? You can find tons of patterns here . Last winter we had a snowflake-cutting party and then pasted our results onto our dining room window with a gluestick - it washes off with a little warm water when you are ready to remove them.

If you are a homeschooler, you've got Bible, Art, & Science all rolled into one lesson - and that Works For Me!

I am so excited to be participating in my first Works-For-Me-Wednesday. I look forward to reading all the great tips every week. Head over to Shannon's to check it out, and to add a tip of your own.

creating a clean heart and home

My friend Kelli led me to a wonderful blog called A Clean Heart . There you can join The Colossal Clutter Clean-Up. A lovely lady named Amy created an Organizer for getting rid of clutter in your heart and home - and she is giving it to us for FREE!! Clutter is a monster I have been fighting for some time, but I am making progress. This organizer has been so encouraging to me. Thank you Amy for sharing your time and talents to help us create peaceful homes free of CHAOS & CLUTTER. God is using you to change lives!

A Big Howdy

Well, I guess I've put this off long enough- time to jump in with both feet. The thought of putting myself out there for all to see is a bit scary, but there are too many fun things going on in Bloggy World and I can't stand to be left out!

I'll introduce myself - My name is Amy & I'm a 36 yr. old stay-at-home Mommy. I have been married to my best friend for 14 years and I am so very, very thankful that God has allowed me to experience such an amazing partnership. I've got 4 beautiful children- dd 9 1/2, dd 8, ds 4, & dd 2. We also have a ds who is Forever 4 - he beat us Home 7 years ago after a courageous battle with leukemia - in our eyes he won the battle. We are in our 5th year of homeschooling and love it.

I am so excited to see where this blogging path takes me. Come on along and journey with me!
