Author Archives: admin This is what my living room has been transformed to…Navajo territory… I made these tents several Christmases ago–and BEST HOME-MADE GIFT EVER…3 years later they still play with them ALL THE TIME. They love to take them outside in the spring, summer and fall…and when it’s chilly…my living room turns into the coolest tent territory:) […]  My dear mom friend and author of the blog and book “Traded Dreams” is featuring an adoption story each week this month in honor of National Adoption Month… Such an honor writing a guest post for her blog this week! Thank you Lauren for asking me to share our story…it’s a LONG one…but when it […] It was a great one! I only found your blog about a year ago, so it was nice to get the back story!! Andrea, your story was exactly what I needed to read about today. I learned so much through it! Thanks for sharing!! Dearest Baby Z, Today–momma was nesting. I kept telling my heart over and over, “Mama Young, today is Sunday…you must rest.” But my heart–it wouldn’t listen. You see sweet one–mama is nesting. What is nesting you ask sweet baby? Well, if you research it–you will learn that nesting is a momma’s instinct that she has–a […] Didn’t know I needed a good cry till I read this post. Oh sweet friend … my heart is bursting with joy for you. Count on my prayers during your wait for baby Z and beyond! Love & Blessings, Kim  I have no words as my heart is overwhelmed tonight with such thanksgiving and joy at all the Lord has done and all He continues to do! Tetiana and her parents came over tonight for dinner–and it was such fun being with their most precious family! And…it was so fun to see the kids all […]  On homeschool and needing just a little extra time… We had a pretty chill week this week! Rico Suave and I started it out by visiting a few homeschool co-op schools that offer classes 2 days a week or half days and such. We are praying about the year ahead and knowing we will have […] I wish I was your next door neighbor!! I think our families would have a blast together!!!! I’m all about letting my littles be LITTLE! 🙂 We have a very laid back approach to life (of course lots of passion too… but we don’t stress the unimportant “stuff.”) Love ya!!! Hi! I realized through reading your blog that we live in the same area. I used to teach for a homeschool group called Veritas Classical Schools. It’s an AMAZING Christian school where kids go one to two days a week. Just wanted to give it a shout-out in case that’s the route you decide to go. 🙂 The phone conversation was adorable. My grandfather was a quarterback at Alabama under Baer Bryant and my grandmother also went to Alabama and I grew up hearing her yell “Roll Tide.” Though it abviously didn’t rub off as we are brainwashing our children for A&M. :):) Just love the ideas behind 2 choices with peacemaker and problem maker… and what are you hands made for! just priceless tools thank you for your devotion to your blog and your precious children you are one awesome mom! |

Would LOVE a tutorial on the tents! So cute!
i know you’re a home schooling mom so you would want to know, but the navajo did not live in teepees. they lived in dwellings called hogans. (http://navajopeople.org/navajo-hogans.htm)
i only know this because moseby’s birth mother is full-blooded (plains) cree so we’ve been getting lots of books/doing research so i can show him about that culture one day. and the cree DID live in buffalo hide teepees.
happy thanksgiving!
so sweet!!! Please write that tutorial soon because Mareto would LOVE a tent like that in his room!! I’m thinking it may be his Christmas gift this year! 😉
I would really like to make one of these tepees for Fisher for Christmas too! Can’t wait to see the tutorial!!!
