About Us

My name is Heather and I have been the help meet to my wonderful husband, Len, for 22 years. Our children are Hope (19), Lenny (15), Lily (11), Wren (Born to heaven, 10/02), Mary (Born to heaven, 9/03), Lucy (Born to heaven, Early '04), and Peter (6). Six doggies round out our happy brood.

Thoughts for Thursday

As seen on Building Cathedrals:

What am I cooking? Len and I had a WONDERFUL dinner at our favorite restaurant.  We will be taking a cooking class there together this weekend and are super excited about that…

What are my weekend plans? My hubby and I continue to enjoy our romantic getaway in Vermont… :)

What are my prayer intentions for the day? A boy from our church who has cancer…

What can my children do instead of watching TV? That question would be better answered by my valiant parents who are on childcare duty for us right now…

What have I done for my marriage this week? This week in VT has been all about our marriage – biking and hiking together in the exquisite fall foliage, leisurely conversations, romantic gestures, breaking out of the usual routine, and crossing a thing or two off our bucket list…

What am I reading? Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Heat Rises by Richard Castle…

What’s Challenging Me Lately? Finding balance with the main areas of my life – homemaking, homeschooling, cooking, fitness.  It is a constant juggling act to do all those things well at one time.  I can do one area exceptionally to the detriment of the others.  I can do two satisfactorily while the others suffer.  I can try to do them all and have limited success.  So after 22 years as a wife and 19 years as a mother, I still continue to search for balance…

Something that made me think? The changing of the season which is so vivid here in the foliage of Vermont has made me think about the brevity of life.  I am not feeling morose, just introspective…
