Health Tuesday: Real Living

April 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Health Tuesday @SuzBroadhurst

 

What?!  I missed Easter? It’s too late to post a Resurrection video?!

In the words of my much younger self:

“No, no, never, never, uh uh, uuuh!”

 

 

 

Thank God His resurrection life isn’t just about one day out of the year!

 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

 

1 Peter 1: 3-5

Now, that’s a healthy day!

Medical Advocacy for Teens and Young Adults

March 12, 2013 By Leave a Comment

 

Health Tuesday @SuzBroadhurstWhen your children are young, you are their medical advocate.  When they turn 18 – and I’m telling you, the day they turn 18 – you are no longer legally their advocate.

And sometimes the little HIPAA paper signed in the doctor’s office won’t be enough.  It should be, but sometimes it’s not.

If your child is approaching legal adulthood – 18 years of age – please have a talk about medical advocacy and medical power of attorney.

And as hard as it is to think about and to act upon, talk about living wills, too.

Mamas, we don’t won’t our cowboys and cowgirls to grow up – and face an emergency – without a medical ranch hand holding the reins.

Baby Cowboy Hat @SuzBroadhurst

Diamond D Ranch March 2, 2013 from 10-3 pm

 

You’ll want to bring some extra gold in your saddlebag because not only are the cowboy boot purse and cowboy baby hat (featured on this page) gonna be in the silent auction, they’ll be a whole herd more goodies to bid on!

And come hungry, ‘cause they’ll be grub to purchase for this great cause!

 

What is Dreams Come True?

Dreams Come True is an organization that brings hope – and I mean, HOPE! – to those looking at the timeline of life through a telescope sometimes turned backwards.

You can find out more about them on their website and their Facebook page.  :-)

 See ya at the ranch!

Pattern Info:

  • Cowboy Baby Hat:  I adapted this pattern (use this  updated pattern link) from Angie’s Attic. 
  • Cowboy Boot Applique:  I adapted this Christmas boot pattern.

I found both patterns on Ravelry.  A free account is needed to access the shared love of yarn-i-ness, but it’s so worth signing in for.

Speaking of signing in – or up – I’ll be posting more info soon about Ravelry.  Sign up for Where Life Meets Homeschool email updates so you don’t miss a thing!  :-)

Unplugged Observations: Ex-spend-itures

January 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

 

Out of the Box Thursday

Just a few observations from a few months of Unplugging Warm-Turkey Style:

 

I spend less time checking three days’ worth of emails than one day’s.

I spend as much time simply enjoying life as I did reading fine print on coupons in my inbox.

I spend more money on yarn and less on anti-shoulder-ache meds.

I spend less energy worrying about the big world out there and more time praying for it.

I spend more time with my family and less time with photos of my family.

I spend more time with my feet up than my dander (up).

 

I Can Crochet and Still Listen @SuzBroadhurst

 

I’m missing a little bit of life by unplugging warm-turkey style, but I’m gaining so much more.

 

We’re so afraid of missing something if we don’t stay plugged in,

but what are we missing when we do?

 

Fluttering by for now,

Bye for now!
