I am REBECCA, here me roar.

My husband Matt enraptures me; his kisses are the fuel that keep me going.


Our love gave birth to joy. Four times so far.

Joy named:

Corynn

Adele'Judah

We lead strange lives to most modern American families, (we have COWS for goodness sake! and I won't even mention the HOMESCHOOLING! egads!) yet we wouldn't want it any other way. It is all rather delightful really.

Except when I have to haul five gallon water buckets from home to barn a half dozen times in two feet of snow. (just sayin'.)



I have been known to make my children do crazy things in front of the camera for the sake of a good challenge.


I have been known to do crazy things myself in front of the camera come to think of it!

I have many good intentions that never get done because instead of being productive, I am blogging.

I will never give up desserts or feel guilty about eating them. Though, I probably should.

I have a good hair day once every three years or so.


Matt only calls me "Rebecca" when I am in trouble, the rest of the time he calls me sugarbear. I love that.

I *LOVE* quotes but can never actually quote anybody without botching it up horrendously. I hate that about myself.


Though I have confident airs to the unsuspecting, only my husband knows the insecure little monster that takes up residence 24 hours a day.

I fail miserably at being who I want to be/ought to be more often than not...but I am still trying.

And through it all I am forgiven.


And this blog is where I write about it ALL...... every last bit of it. WITH photos.

Thank you to all of you who share in my joys and encourage me in my struggles. This blog wouldn't be half as much fun without you. So thankful for you all.
