Tolpin Academy Music Teachers So yes, we home school, but that doesn't mean I am some mom who knows how to teach everything. I have found that having talented music teachers, who double as great role models are one way to really instill the love for music in my children (along with loving it myself). :) We have been so blessed with some amazing teachers over the years... for the sake of the length of [...]
I have wanted to share with you a little inside glimpse into what our life is REALLY like! When I get the "I don't know how you do it all" comment Two thoughts enter my mind- 1) It is only by God's grace, power, and provision I have the energy to keep up with all we have going on... and enjoying the children in the midst is my biggest focus as far as family is [...]

These next two weeks are big weeks for me in regards to finishing writing the last two chapters and editing out a TON of content for Redeeming Childbirth! For months now I have been struggling writing a chapter that I felt strongly the Lord had impressed upon my heart to write and include in this book.

My husband and I were on a date a few weeks ago, and we decided to spend some time going through our calendars, getting caught up. We don't usually do this sort of thing on dates, and my husband would probably tell you he wasn't really excited about the idea of going through our calendars, but once we began talking through it, I told him, "This is really helpful for me to know when I [...]
Every business has its busy season. As a entrepreneur's wife I understand all to well how hard those busy seasons can be on a marriage and family. Traveling, late nights, unexpected changes in schedule, and having to be constantly available (phone/computer) can take it's toll. There are many sacrifices that those who build businesses make in order to make their dreams a reality. The next few posts I write are for those women who are [...]

That same great God created you with a unique greatness as well. And He chose you to be the match, the team mate for your great man. Do you view [...]
We have been talking about Delighting in our Children as our {Core Christian Parenting Fundamentals} continues... today I want to simply talk about the concept of letting go of the to-dos so that you can be free to smile, laugh, cuddle, play a game, get on the floor, play hide n seek, sit and have hot cocoa and talk, or have a heart to heart with your child (children).

I thought about making fun, happy memories with her and being a joy-filled mother. [...]
