As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

Family Math


Kati told me this story about a day in their homeschool. She was having four-year-old Ellie practice counting. (How many forks are on the table? How many shoes are you wearing?)



Kati: How many grandparents do you have?

Elli: "Five." 

Kati: "Five? Name them." 

Ellie: "Grandma and Grandpa, Papa and Gran, and Aunt Bekah."


So now Aunt Bekah is an honorary grandparent and we think that is precious! 🩷

    Oh, that is very sweet! Ellie resembles her grandmother, I think! Such a cutie.
