Hello my name is Jennifer. I have a love for many things, God, my family, my friends, crafts, interior decorating, learning, volunteering, food, and fun. One of my life's motto's are Life is like a roller coaster so you might as well enjoy the ride for the most part and on the parts that make you sick and worried just know this too shall pass. My life has not been all peachy and neat in a tidy wrapped up box, it's been quite messy as life is or at least my life but i have learned there is always a lesson to be learned from the people, experiences, and myself in those situations. It's the hard times that help us build character. I struggle with anxiety, ADD and have had other health issues. But I don't want to miss out on all life has to offer. My husband and I have a farm, we renovated an old farm house that took about 5 years gutting it and fixing it up on summers and weekends. We have an amazing four children who have taught me so much and have helped me learn a lot about myself and made me want to be a better version of myself. Dont get me wrong parenting can be very hard at times especially with a child who has O.D.D and some with A.D.H.D They also keep our house very lively from dancing, singing, fighting, working and playing. We love to do projects and work as a family,( my kids don't always love doing it in the beginning but they love the end result and are usually glad and proud of themselves and the projects.) play games, joke, pray, and watch movies on family movie night. We have morning birds, and my son and I are night owls which can make mornings very interesting. Thank the Lord for coffee. Now that my kids are older they are in charge of feeding different animals on our farm, and working with their dad on certain projects, I love to see them grow and mature into people they were creative to be. Moving out to the country has its ups and downs. Probably the worst part is commuting into the city 40 minutes away to take my kids to a private school. I have friends who home school but I am not that type of person or should I say teacher. My sons math almost kills us daily. Also I am able to visit friends while their in school that i wouldn't see if they were home schooled. One of the best parts is seeing my kids use their imaginations, make memories that will last a lifetime and not be distracted by the busyness and unplugged from most electronics. We do movie nights on Fridays and they get some electronic time on Sunday afternoon if we aren't doing something with friends or family. My hope for this blog is to be real, show projects we are working on, farm life, dealing with A.D.H.D, and O.D.D in myself and children, my faith walk, and some recipes and tricks I find that help life go a little more smoother. Also I would love to pray with or for you if you have any prayer needs.
