My name is Angie. I am the wife, mother, educator, and friend behind Fresh Wanderings. I love slow, simple days spent at home where I can be found creating, gardening, baking, educating our children, and spending time in God's Word. Welcome to the place where all of these things culminate into one.

Not the collection we thought we would have but be

Not the collection we thought we would have but beautiful nonetheless.

“As parents we also define ourselves by what we

“As parents we also define ourselves by what we bring our attention and presence to. This is easy to forget when daily life feels more like triage. By eliminating some of the clutter in our lives we can concentrate on what we really value, not just what we're buried under, or deluged with.” and this..., “Life today for most families is characterized by randomness and improvisation than rhythm - do you feel that in the shadow of your days?” both quotes by Kim John Payne, Simplicity Parenting.
⁣
This week I’m looking closely at the rhythm (or lack thereof) that has been created in our home over the past 6 months. For many families COVID offered an opportunity to slow down and settle in, for us it felt quite the opposite. Metaphorically, it felt like we were sinking. To keep afloat I kept grasping at anything in the water that resembled a lifeline and, as a result, our days have been directed by what has to be done rather than what we love to do. Our unique family rhythm slowly slipped away, and we have simply been surviving rather than thriving.
⁣
Taking some time during this vacation to sit down and re-assess what truly is important has been refreshing. As the gatekeeper of my home, it’s my job to re-evaluate from time-to-time what we are obligated to and why. Here are a few questions I’m using to help me as I re-assess.
⁣
1. Does this ___________ fit with our goals?
2. Does this ___________ energize me/them?
3. Does this ___________ make a valuable contribution to our home?
4. Am I the only person who can do this ________?
5. Do I/we have time to do this?
6. If I/we do this _________ what will I/we *not* be doing or what will it take the place of? (This one is key, at least in this season of our lives)

*random thoughts from vacation, I hope they’re helpful*

Laboring hard on Labor Day so that next week they can enjoy a week off at the ocean. I think that’s a pretty good trade! 🌊

Well hey there! Did you know there is a face behin

Well hey there! Did you know there is a face behind these pictures? It has been a while since I’ve shown up here so I thought I would pop in to say “hello”, share a smile, and thank you for following along while I share snippets of our lives and hopefully some words of encouragement to cheer you on your homeschooling and homemaking journey. I feel so incredibly honored that you choose to be here.

As parents, we have big responsibilities. What a joy it is to share the highs and lows of our journeys with each other and to experiencing life-giving bonds over this great journey called motherhood.

Our poem this month reinforces the theme of persev

Our poem this month reinforces the theme of perseverance, endurance, steadfastness, and tenacity. Why do we want to focus our entire month on a theme such as this and why is this character quality one we need to encourage in ourselves and our children?

Matthew Henry’s Commentary on Luke 5:1-11 (this story would be a great one to include in your morning time this month🎣) shares some wonderful words that confirm our why...
⁣
{Even those who are most diligent in their business often meet with disappointments; they who toiled all night yet caught nothing; for the race is not always to the swift. God will have us to be diligent, purely in duty to his command and dependence upon his goodness, rather than with an assurance of worldly success. We must do our duty, and then leave the event to God.}

“We all pretend for a while or for a lifetime. But pretending is not living...I believe that God meant for life to take our breath away, sometimes because of the sheer joy of it all and sometimes because of the severe pain. To choose living over pretending means that we will know both.” Angela Thomas🌾
