Tags: drops of water, water beads, water puddles

Welcome to my blog. My name is Heidi (hi-d) and I am an artist, a mother to my 4 boys, a wife to Dave and a daughter of the King! I homeschool my three youngest boys and wouldn't trade it for the world. I enjoy knowing all about my kids and learning things about our world right along with them. This blog is just some of what my journey entails.
You will find some of my artwork in the sidebar here, but if you'd like to see more you can go to http://www.originalsbyhi-d.com
Bugs: because we live in Georgia - and before we moved here I didn't know so many bugs existed! I've made friends with most of them by now, but still not fond of the Palmetto bugs.
Boys: because I am surrounded by them.
And Burritos: because that is one of the staples around here! My boys eat them for snacks! I cook a couple pounds of beans almost weekly.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a blessed day!

Please read about our experience with Chiari Malformation II (See Gare-Bears Chiari Journey pages above) while your here. I would like to make more people aware of it and give parents of children diagnosed with Chiari a glimmer of hope!

My Favorite Book Ever:

(besides the Bible) The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
"Perfectionism is a refusal to let yourself move ahead. It is a loop - an obsessive, debilitating closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what your are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole."
"Try to remember that God is the Great Artist. Become willing to see the hand of God and accept it as a friend's offer to help with what you are doing."
"Expect the universe to support your dream. And it will."
California Mist

"Abide in my love." John 15:9
