What We Do

Yes, we actually work here. We are doing a variety of things, things we are enjoying and we enjoy seeing our progress. Here are just a few examples and some Before and Afters:

One reason there was such a lull in our posts in January is because we had three retreats in four weekends. Our family was essentially the only staff for two of those and for the third, we had two young adults helping us in the kitchen. So we were kept hopping with cooking and cleaning. I'd say we made a great team - no food poisoning, no clogged toilets, or other major disasters, so we will chalk them up to successes.

 You've already seen some of Emery's hard work, but here is a review. He does everything from helping cook, to cleaning, all manner of fixing and maintenance, yard work and building projects.

I (Bev) am doing many things I love: purging and organizing, some office work, and throw in tracing some flannel graph backgrounds for visual aids.

The kids help where they can; often that includes laundry, making lunch, doing dishes. We're adjusting well, I think, to homeschooling, two parents working and other changes. We are enjoying doing everything together as a family: eating, working, schooling, sight-seeing, and exploring new things.
