I absolutely love these journal pages! I have been wanting more than just a regular notebook for my daily devotionals and have tried to sit down and make my own but never have time! I came across this somehow and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them! Thank you!" -Ashlee

Yesterday I had an amazing lunch with my mom and m Yesterday I had an amazing lunch with my mom and my brother at one of our favorite Brazilian restaurants in Deerfield Beach. I was so excited to eat real food, y’all! I had to eat super carefully, especially that it was right before my follow up appointment, but it was sooo good! 😊 That picanha steak was so juicy and soft. That Piamontese rice… oh my goodness! So delicious! And that fried polenta!!! Crispy on the outside and melting inside.
After a week of blended soups and liquids, food never tasted so good! 😊
I’m still on the mending. I still have to eat soft foods for another week and be careful with those stitches, but savouring a piece of steak yesterday gave me a boost.
The follow up went well but not the way I’ve planned. 🫣Apparently my follow up visit was booked for NEXT week and my dentist wasn’t even there yesterday! And I’m flying home on Friday thinking the appointment was this week. There was no way I could change my plane tickets for the third time and stay longer - no way! I’ve been away from my children and my house for three weeks now.
The good news is that I’m healing really well, everything looked great and no signs of infections.
The bad news is that I’m still in a lot of pain and missing just one dose of Tylenol left me in tears last night. (So much PTSD from having Trigeminal Neuralgia.)😳 Because of that, I’ll have to continue taking doxycycline, ibuprofen 800, and Tylenol. The last thing I need is to get home 3000+ miles away and have to hop back on a plane again in pain. So please pray for speedy healing.
Today I’m packing and saying goodbye to some friends. I’m enjoying the last 24 hours with my mom who has been taking such good care of me for almost two weeks, but so looking forward to hugging my babies soon!
I’m so thankful for my in-laws to be taking such good care of our children, our dogs, and our house. That’s no small task for them!
And I can’t wait to sleep in my bed again! 🙌🏼😁🙏🏼
Chag Sukkot Sameach! Happy Feast of Tabernacles! Chag Sukkot Sameach!
Happy Feast of Tabernacles!
It was during the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem in 2006 that the Lord spoke to me and said that on the following Sukkot I would be married and with child. Sure enough, amazingly, that came to pass!
Celebrating the biblical feasts keeps us aligned with God’s prophetic calendar. It helps us to know Him and His promises for us more deeply. A gift we have passed on to our children.
When we left our home on the Feast of Trumpets we were sure we would be back home for Yom Kippur and to raise a sukkah with our kids for the Feast of Tabernacles, @something our kids have done every year of their lives since they were born.
But God deviated our plans and brought us to Florida instead, away from our children.
Sometimes we just don’t understand God’s plan but we know His plans are higher than ours. He has a purpose for all things - always!
One thing I am sure. He is with us! He tabernacles with us. He covers us under His sukkah and one day we will celebrate this feast in the millennium kingdom with Him.
I can’t wait for that day to come!
What a glorious feast that would be!
Come Lord, Yeshua!
Chag Sukkot Sameach, friends!
Have you ever looked at a beautiful Charlotte Maso Have you ever looked at a beautiful Charlotte Mason homeschool online and thought, “Mine doesn’t look like that at all…”?
The gorgeous nature journals.
The peaceful morning baskets.
The beautifully stacked living books.
The children quietly gathered around the table. 😂😉
I love beauty in our homeschool. I love living books, poetry, nature study, music, art, meaningful conversations, and all the rich ideas that are part of a Charlotte Mason education.
But after years of homeschooling my own children, teaching Charlotte Mason principles, and hosting the annual Charlotte Mason Inspired Online Conference, I can tell you this:
Charlotte Mason is not an aesthetic.
And real homeschooling rarely looks like a Reel.
There have been unfinished books. Lessons that didn’t work. Teens who needed something different. Seasons when we had to simplify. Days when the best thing we could do was close the books, go for a walk, and have a really good conversation.
And sometimes those are the days when the deepest learning happens.
That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in this FREE live panel:
Real vs. Reels: What Social Media Isn’t Telling You About Charlotte Mason

This team deserves a massive shoutout! If you don’ This team deserves a massive shoutout! If you don’t know this about me, I’m anaphylactic allergic to onions. I can’t eat, smell it, and even if I don’t smell it I can still react to it. It closes my throat and I can’t breath. Because of that, eating out is a nightmare. I don’t get to enjoy parties, potlucks, and restaurants like a normal person does. Now imagine going on a cruise to Mexico! (hello salsa and tacos everywhere). I confess I was very nervous and fearful that I could end up locked in my cabin for a week. But let me tell you that this amazing team cared for me and my food daily like nothing else I ever experienced. Everything was prepared and served so carefully every day for every meal. I’ll be forever thankful to Ronell, Segara, Neyson, Grace, Davin, the chefs and many others that kept me alive and so well fed for these past seven days on the Carnival Panorama. Absolutely amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ care!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! 😊🙏🏼 #foodallergies #carnivalcruise #carnivalpanorama #bestcruiseever carnivalmenumate @carnival @cruisedirectorgeorge
