Love your blog, beautiful and inspiring. My married initials are JEW, Jennifer Elaine Warren. I joke that I am one of God’s chosen people.

I have loved reading about your homeschooling tips, etc. on here. This was my first year homeschooling, and I was TOTALLY overwhelmed most of the year! But yet……I am going back for more next year. My whole mindset changed as I watched my children grow and learn, and I saw the joy of that connection with my kids.

And…..I have an adorable little Elijah, so I am partial to that name. If you ever do have a boy, I vote for that name added to the mix somehow.

Edie…I am so totally there with you on everything you said RE: homeschooling. I’m taking Kate out of the 1/2 classical school and going full time homeschooling. Crazy, yes I am. But as you bear witness to, it is a beautiful crazy.

Your house looks like such fun. Tom and I were just looking at some lake lots because the prices here in Huntsville fell a lot real estate wise….but it’s still just a dream.

We’re actually more actively looking for a farm house with a small lake (hmmm…I guess that would be POND!)

I haven’t written any comments lately because we’re so crazy here, but I have stopped by to read regularly. We finished Mulan but now it’s on to a mini opera (oxymoron, I know) and a summer workshop I’m directing and summer camps (Kate’s doing horseback riding!!! And we’re all going to do a mini Space Camp time because they have THE STAR WARS EXHIBIT HERE!!!! YAHOO!!!!)

I hope that you can stop by my little blog and take a peak. The new camera has been SUCH FUN and really is akin to my poetry paradigm and I’m learning quickly how to use it (though I still have FAR to go….but it’s great learning along the way) and “see” things differently. TEXTURE RULES!!

As always, Jesus is amazing and I fall into His arms every day in gratitude and quite frequently in exhaustion.

Actually, that’s how it is with Tom, too. Hmmm…..I see a correlation there!

I pray that you are great and from the looks of it you are, missing mojo or not, you’re still an inspiration and we faithful readers will remain faithful readers even if you can’t post as often as you used to. It’s OKAY!

We all still love you, even if you post only once a month!!!!

So take that pressure off yourself and ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY that beautiful home and those beautiful children!!! (I only like to tell someone what to do when it’s a FUN telling them what to do!)

Now, off to walk since my butt has gotten bigger than the size of Buffalo–the city, not the animal(thyroid is way off again–going back to Vanderbilt/they’re going to up my medicine/try some different things/take another MRI of my pituitary)and there’s something about walking/running that clears the mind, as cliche as that is!!!

Love in Christ,
Lana

Edie, My mojo must have taken leave of absence with yours! I just cannot seem to find it anywhere. I am headed to Moultrie, GA to give my almost 80 year old mother a shower and shampoo and blow-dry her hair. She is the most precious woman on the face of this Earth! It is most humbling and heart-breaking to strip her of all her clothes and help her into the tub. Sometimes I cry all the way back home and ask the Lord why her? If there ever was a saint, it would be my Momma! But at the end of the day, I know I am blessed to share such intimate times with her. My almost 84 year old father still maintains the almost 2.5 acres our family home sits on. Love ya! Gotta go–times a’wastin!

I’m looking for my mojo as well. I hate being in a funk. We have been going through endless (at least it seems like no end in sight) home improvements and my mojo disappeared for a time. But now it is slowly coming back, bit by bit. Hang in there! Can’t wait to see how your kitchen turns out.

Hi there!
I just found your blog. I really enjoy your writing style. I’m going to have to look into your homeschooling info. Our son is going to pre-k next year, and after that I need to decide what to do. I think school will be good for him early on (Christian School) but am not sure about the future. My mom (who homeshcooled me for 2 years) said it requires a very organized person…which I’m NOT. So I do get a little concerned.

I’ll let you know if I see your mojo lying around.

Blessings,
Megan

I haven’t emailed you about homeschooling but, #11 on your list struck a cord with me. I’m pondering….back and forth wether to homeschool next year. The mention about your own sin and struggles being manifested thru the kiddos is what humbles me most. Thanks for the vote of confidence to all of us mama’s questioning another year of homeschool.
Blessings & happy summer!

Ah … so glad to see another post from you (especially since I’ve been thinking of you and all I could think of to post on your last post was a big ol’ ROLLLLLL TIDE and I didn’t think that was appropriate:)).

Oh, Edie, you’re real, you’re deep, you’re you … you make my heart smile.

Keep up the good fight.
Blessings to ya!

Edie,

Great to hear what you are doing with your days. It’s not too far off from what I’m up to. Selling a house and moving is exhausting, I’m not doing my best homeschooling lately but I’m trying. Glad I don’t have to remodel a kitchen right now, though it’s not too far off…soon I’ll be building a house fromt he ground up. Eeeks! That lake looks so fun! For now we are hitting the local aquatic center to cool down. We are already hitting 100 degree’s. Take care, Jess
