See Jamie Blog is a peek into my life as a homeschooling, homemaking mama in a blended, adoptive family that includes three kids and one exceptionally intelligent dog. One child is mine by birth, one by marriage, and one adopted as a teen. The dog is adopted, too, but she doesn’t know it!
This blog serves as a repository for my abundance of words (to save my husband’s sanity!), an informal record of our homeschool, and a place to share my heart as I navigate this journey of motherhood, marriage, and faith. I share about the blessings and challenges that come my way.
I do my best thinking with a steaming cup of tea in hand. I write because it’s how I think, how I process thoughts, how I learn from my experiences — and how I relive the best ones. I love photography because it allows me another avenue to tell stories.
I am now in my sixth year as a homeschool mom; I’m still loving it, and still learning as I go. I lean mostly toward a relaxed Charlotte Mason style of home education, which means (in part) that we adore good literature, nature studies, and real-world learning. But this year, something new to me: my teen is attending public school.
The most important thing to know about me is this:
I’ve been redeemed by my Savior, and I am merely a clay pot, utterly useless apart from the treasure within. (2 Corinthians 4:7)
