Breathing Life Back Into My Blog!

Wow, the last time I posted on this blog was over two years ago!  SO much has happened in those two years!  I will attempt, over the next couple of weeks, to bring this old blog back up to date and fill it in with the major happenings that our family has gone through since then. Lot's of updating to be done on here too (it's a little outdated and boring)!

To start it all off...today was my last day of working for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine.  I have worked for them for over a year and a half as a Senior Ad Sales Rep.  I've learned so much and met the most wonderful people. It was a bittersweet day, since I love everyone that I work with, but I'm excited for the new adventure I am about to begin too!  I am starting my own business that I hope to launch sometime next month. 

I am also excited about spending more time with my kiddos!  I still have three out of five that are school aged.  It goes so fast, I need to enjoy this time with them.  They deserve it!

The youngest two...who wouldn't want to spend more time with them?

I am also very excited to be able to devote more time to our homeschooling!  I'm already planning some fun things and projects that I've wanted to do, but have not had time for. 

Most of all, I'm just excited to see what the Lord has in store for our family!  It's a little scary stepping out in faith and trusting that He will provide, but I know that He will!

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer 29:11

Hello!  My name is Denice.  Welcome to a small glimpse of my world!  I am wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.  I have 5 children ~ 3 brought to us naturally, 2 Supernaturally!  (From Kazakhstan and Taiwan).  We homeschool, love adventures, reading, sewing/quilting, traveling and seeing new places, cherish time with family and friends, strive to make my home comfortable and cozy for my family, and love to cook healthy (and yummy!) food for us all!  I am constantly challenged to do things more creatively, naturally and frugally!  I have a huge heart for the orphans (James 1:27) and hope that I can do more to make a difference.  My most important "titles" are "Follower of Jesus" and "Daughter of the King"!!  Because without Him, I could do none of the above!

I look at my life as a constant adventure, never truly knowing what lies around the next corner!  We try to take it all in stride and thank the Lord for it all!  At times it truly feels like we are on a "Whimsical Walk in the Woods"...  which is never boring and always exciting!

 So thank you for coming on a walk with us!  Hopefully you will be encouraged, challenged and amused!
