A day at home.


I feel so blessed! I had such a wonderful day with my little beauties today.


We all were up quiet late since we had home church in the evening. So it was a late start to our morning. I love how every morning all five of my children crawl into my bed for morning chatter.


With my older ones we discuss our plans for the day what we would like to get done and what we may do.


After we got the breakfast chores done we headed to our school room and got as much as we could done. We breaked for lunch and then did some more. After school I got caught up on the laundry ( speaking of laundry I have been making my own laundry soap that I will be posting about) and the children headed outside until it was starting to get dark. When they came in from the chilly October temps the house was peaceful and calm with dinner in the oven and the warm glow of candles. I love fall it makes me love with being a homemaker.
After our evening meal together I ran my little's a nice warm bubble bath and sat in there listening to there games. While Chris went over bible verses with the older boys.
This is what makes my life great! Being home with my husband and children. The contentment, the peace, the joy. We are not effected by outside elements, yes life still happens and there are things that will come that we can not control but with the Lord we will get through life together as a family.
