This season of my life is so crazy busy but I do not want it to fly by because I know I will miss it at some part in my life. I know life is all about seasons and this one I am in is a bit chaotic. There is something always on the calendar to do and add homeschooling, 7 kids, everyday household chores, and being pregnant it can feel so out of control. But I have to remember that God has everything in control so therefore if I lean on Him I will also. Baby will be here next month, I just cannot believe that!!! I have a good bit to do before she gets here so I better get started and we have 2 birthdays to celebrate before she makes her arrival. Alot of appts. and I would like to get in a good deal of schooling. I just have to remind myself with God all things are possible.
So for those that are starting back homeschooling how are things going. We school mostly year around for many reasons so it is not a big thing to us with school starting back but I know sometimes it is hard to get back into the swing of things. So how is everyone doing??? Would so love to hear.
The life and times of a family just trying to live God's will in our lives!
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD,

this and that
I hardly ever have just a topic to talk about because I always have a thousand things going on in my mind. LOL
first I want to say in a month or less I may have a new giveaway so be watching out for that. :)
Next I wanted to ask anyone who reads this to leave me a comment of your fave receipe to cook for your family. It can be anything and even be a dessert. I am trying to gather some new things to cook instead of the same old boring stuff. So far this week we will have a little different things to eat so I am happy about that. So if everyone could just leave your receipe!!:) Thanks. Plus I am hoping to do some casserole cooking and that kind of stuff before baby gets here so I will have some food in the freezer that will be fast but good and not processed.
I am starting to take inventory of what I need for baby . I guess I had better seeing I am over 30 weeks now. Not much longer now. This pregnancy has flown by!!!!!!!!!!! I have felt pretty good so far but am getting to the not so comfortable stage.
Things have been a bit crazy around here but I have just been trying to take things a day at a time. That is what God wants us to do so that is what I am trying to do. Our new church has been such a blessing to me in so many ways. I look forward to really getting to know everyone there better. God is good and He has shown my husband and I so many things lately. He really does provide far beyound our needs and so much more. Thank you God for this. Also if anyone has a prayer request I would sure love to pray for you. I pray everyone that comes across my blog will see how much God has done for my family and I. I have been through so much but God has always been with me. He has blessed me immensly. So whatever trials I face daily sometimes I just have to step back and look at the big picture and see if it really is as big as it seems. And I have tell myself frequently nothing is bigger than God.

update
I have been so super busy that is why no blog post. the kids have been sick for over 2 weeks now and things have been crazy around here. I think it may be getting better so hopefully that part will slow down. We have a appt today for one of the kids, lovely braces appt. I will be glad when she gets them off.
I had my midwife appt yesterday. I am almost 30 weeks , my where did the time go!!!! Number 8 will be here soon. I am so excited to have another blessing and another little girl. Our 3 year old is super excited, he ask daily have I got the baby out of my belly yet lol!! So cute!! He loves his little sister so much now that I have no doubt he will be a big help with this baby.
Still been trying to do some school here and there although with so much going on it has been hard. Well the kids are waiting on me, I have a couple of errands to run. talk to you all later and hopefully can make a meaningful blog post sometime.

i am back!
Someone tried to hack my blogger account so they shut it down or that is what they said I guess. But I am super glad to be back and I hope nothing was compromised. Pray nobody got any of my information or anything. I couldn't use my gmail account or my blog. I just wanted everyone to know I am back though.
