About Me
- Hi, my name is Kirsten. I am married to my best friend and we have seven beautiful children that we educate at home. We are Catholic, loving, living, and learning about our faith every day. It is who we are. We also live on a small family farm. We keep a couple of cows and chickens and horses. I enjoy reading, gardening, and running. I try to enjoy, laundry and cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. But what I really love is to be home, with my husband and children, living this life. This blog is where I write about the good stuff (mostly). Thanks for stopping by.

A Considered Childhood by Elizabeth Foss
- As much as I am able, every day, I will ensure that my child will: * Live the Liturgy * Experience loveliness * Breathe deeply: Fresh air and exercise * Serve others * Listen to, contemplate, and exchange ideas. * Develop expressive skills. * Practice logical reasoning. Math. * Receive focused attention and affection

Prayer to St. Joseph
- PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH THE WORKMAN Composed by Pope St. Pius X O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

Your garden looks fabulous. I'm sure you're harvesting stuff already, so you won't mind if we come over for supper tomorrow. We're driving all day and I'll be too exhausted to cook! (Just kidding....well, maybe not. :-)
