Just a girl seeking peace, hope and love through daily life with four kids and a husband that is working on his PhD. I homeschool our kids and enjoy reading, cooking, baking, sewing, blogging, photography and watching films. I am attempting to live simply and creatively. We definitely don't have it all together here at home, but we are learning a lot and we're having fun on our many adventures.

Favorite Quotes
"Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are anger and courage. Anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain as they are." ~ St. Augustine
"Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness, and pride of power, and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear ... Christendom adjusts itself far too easiliy to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"As long as people use tactics to oppress or restrict other people from being free, there is work to be done." ~ Rosa Parks
"Give until it hurts, because real love hurts." ~ Mother Teresa
"Joy is the best makeup."~ Anne Lamott

"May God give us all openness to ways leading beyond our own selves." ~Mother Teresa
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

"Love accepts all and gives all. Love should be as natural as living and breathing." ~ Mother Teresa
"We have come to the place where we can honestly say that there is no distinction in our home school between home and school--we are living to learn and learning to live all at the same time. That is what happens in a home." ~Sally Clarkson
"I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
