This book scares some of you, doesn’t it? Three DECADES of WHAT? Nobody likes three decades of anything, except maybe salted caramels. But FERTILITY? Seriously? Doesn’t that translate into, like, 30 kids? Or something? Do you wonder if this book’s purpose is to bang you over the head until you, too, have dedicated three decades […]
This intellectually stimulating article is written by…oh never mind. It’s just me with nothing super special today – I just wanted to let my hair down a bit and tell you some stuff. Earlier this year I met this super gutsy, witty, southern gal online – and I totally fell in love with her and […]

The following is an excerpt from chapter two, “Tracing God’s Hand” by Jeannette Paulson in the upcoming book, Three Decades of Fertility: Ten Ordinary Women Surrender to the Creator and Embrace Life. For as long as I can remember, I have loved dot-to-dot pictures. What initially looks like a bunch of random dots and numbers […]
The following is an excerpt from chapter ten, “Through Children’s Children,” by Yvonne Harink in Three Decades of Fertility. “God will be faithful through the generations to children’s children who with dedication uphold his covenant and obey his laws.” (From Psalm 103, Book of Praise) I look at my family tree; my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, […]

Facebook Hissy Fits (and How to Avoid Them)
I love and hate Facebook. I love to use it for my business and this blog, and I love the handful of groups I participate in. But otherwise, I think it’s the pits. Just think about election season, for example. The season for “friends” and “followers” to put down the masks and start shooting. But […]
You’ve seen it. The arched back. The clenched fists. The scrunched up face. The flailing feet. The hideous shrieks of indignation. And all you wanted to do was put their shoes on so they could do what they wanted to do: go outside and play. They thought you wanted to torture them, because, you know, […]
Choosing Which Hills to Die On
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]
Potty Training: Mom of Nine Tells All
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Potty Training: A Necessary Evil I’ve been potty training for 16 years now (well, not me—but, you know—my kids) and have succeeded, during that time, in potty training four girls and three boys so far. I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size. We are currently expecting our fifth little treasure, and we are so grateful, and excited. And a little scared sometimes, too, haha. :) Our oldest is […]
Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
