Making My Home A Haven is important to me. Sharing homemaking skills. Recipes and food. Bible Studies. This is a treasure chest of goodies. So take a seat. Have a glass of tea and enjoy. You will learn all about who I am.

The Busy Mom : Heidi St. John
As moms, we do not have the power to make a heart change in our daughters, but each day we are given the opportunity to point them back to Jesus.

Let her see you take all things in moderation. Choose her over online time, unnecessary commitments. Guard your temper. Be mindful to take care of your body, a temple of the Holy Spirit.
All of this can only come from the Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Let her see that there is no law against such things. And keep pointing her to Jesus.

The Busy Mom’s Favorite Christmas Books 2016
It’s here! The most wonderful time of the year … to read! Reading together is a favorite activity in our family, and over the years, reading aloud has become a cherished part of our family’s Christmas tradition. I’ve spent years scoping out books at yard sales and thrift stores looking for hidden treasures to read to the kids. I won’t lie to you—I’ve also purchased some books that were total losers, and they ended right back where I found them. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I had a great response to the list of favorite Thanksgiving books last month, so I’ve compiled a few of our favorite Christmas books too, in case you needed some inspiration as you start or continue to build your own family library.
Remember, these books can be found at the library, thrift stores, eBay and a host of other places. If you’re like me, and you want to build a family library, make some room in your budget to purchase at least one or two every year. Those books will create their own special memories for you and your kids in the years to come.
Christmas reads for grown-ups
The Christmas Box was given to me as a gift several years ago. It’s a beautiful little story that is just the right length to read in a single sitting, with or without your children. I’d call it a modern-day classic, if “they” let me do that sort of thing.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry—you’ll be changed. Powerful, powerful reading.
Christmas Stories – I’m a sap for pretty much anything written by Max Lucado, and this is one of my faves. It’s filled with short(er) stories of Christmas, and, because Max has a style all his own, you’ll soon be wanting to read the next story and the next and the next. These stories—like your favorite Christmas ornaments—come in all shapes and sizes. They unfold in a variety of settings, from ancient Bethlehem to rural England. From a small Texas town to the heavenly realms. Some are short. Others many chapters long. Some offer reflections. Others imagine Christmas through the eyes of a burnt-out candle maker, a lonely business man, or heavenly angels.
Yet all are vintage Lucado, and all resonate with the wonder of the season.

Heidi St. John : Simple Hospitality. Why Opening Your Door To Others Matters.
Podcast guest : Lisa Peterson.
Listen to the podcast.
It was in our home that I watched and learned the value of hospitality while sharing God’s love with those who walked through the door.
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my sweet hubby of 24 years. We have four very fun grown children…two by birth and two by marriage and are loving our first grandbaby girl and two grand-puppies!!
My heart’s desire is to help women with budget-friendly, creative ways to meet and balance the challenges of the “everyday” while nurturing and blessing their husbands, children, friends and community.
