I am pretty sure that the #1-way Satan keeps us small is by making us believe that we are the only ones facing the challenges we face – big or small. I know this to be true throughout my entire life and this most recent wilderness journey has been no exception.   Lately, I have been…

And just like that we have a new driver in the Covaleski household. It’s so strange to see him in the drivers seat and not be just pretending to drive. Mitch has been looking forward to this day for the longest time and I could not be happier. Strangely enough, I am not nearly as…

Monday March 25, 2024 Eli’s birthday was Saturday. I cannot believe our sweet boy is 9! This means that this is last year that any of our kids will have a single digit age. While I try not to be the smothering type of Mom that wants her kids to stay the same (young) ages,…

Why worry and frustration are great indicators that you need to let go and surrender. Wednesday March 20, 2024 I find it hard to believe I am old enough to have a boyfriend turned husband that I have known now for 21 years! Our relationship is old enough to drink (here in the States!)! And…

Defining the start of my journey to learn the difference between self confidence and self worth. Also a discussion on mourning the loss of (adult) friendships while trying to find your people without fear of what’s next.

Working with six strong individuals towards one beautiful common family goal. Saturday March 15 2024 Lately I have been feeling kinda strange. I have been getting spells of dizziness/ disorientation that last just long enough for me to misstep when I am walking/ standing or stutter when I am talking. My brain is foggy. Yesterday…

Wednesday March 13, 2024 So yesterday was a success. Looking back, I realized that I was convicted with the realization that basic care and respect for your things is just as much a part of learning as science and math is. My conviction came, not by this realization that I had interwoven into our homeschool…

Tuesday March, 12, 2024 Today I hit the ground running, determined to stop the issues that plague us day in and day out. Eli came into our room singing and dancing this morning, but was met with a “you stink” face by his older brother (who isn’t afraid to say it like it is) and…

As for the warm weather projects around Almost There Acres:
