The Year of Joy – 2017 New Years Resolution
I have noticed a new way to make a new year's resolution. A way that helps you actually keep your resolution! What you do is pick a work to focus on for the year and work around that word. Yes. Just one word! I have seen people do a year of yes, a year of grace, a year of rest,...The Biblical Roles of a Wife
In today’s culture, the roles of husband and wife have been distorted. Husbands now stay home while their wives go to work and the women are left to be the leaders. Wives strive to be lead by their husbands, yet they push to be at the top in the business world and in their homes. Submission gets a bad rap...

30 New Years Resolutions (That You Could Actually Finish)

A few minutes ago I was scrolling through facebook and came across a video of my old church before I moved away from them after my parents divorce.

My Battle with Lyme Disease
I never remember feeling “good”. I always felt “decent” or “okay”. When I was younger, around the age of 12, I started to develop a lot of nausea and pain in my stomach. My parents didn’t believe me half the time when I told them I was sick because I would always complain of feeling sick. As time went on,...

The Problem With Contentment
It seems like people are never satisfied with their lives. They have a good job, an amazing family, and all the clothes and food they will ever need. But they “need” a great job, and a better family, and more possessions. Why are we never content with what we have? (more…)

About Erin
I am a young wife, still trying to figure things out! When I am not cooking, cleaning, preparing my hubby for a day at school, or working on schoolwork myself, I am learning about holistic health, biblical homemaking, healthy eating, and frugal living. I write the things I learn here, to share with other women how to be a loving, caring, God honoring homemaker.
