Do you have a vision for what you are creating in a home? What is it? What is your desired outcome? What does it look, sound, taste, feel, smell, like? What is the overarching spirit of the home in 3 words. Here are some sample questions to get you started: What are the main examples you draw from which you would use to model your home after? Where have you been which embodies attributes you are seeking to bring into your home. What are your favorite memories of your childhood home?

My sweetheart was scrolling through movies on Netflix with the children the other day and paused on a video. Usually when he does that it means he is considering that as a viewing option for the family. I said one word. "No." A little about me. I don't like viewing new films with our children around. Even kids films. I like to know what is in the film to determine if it's good to view with my children or not BEFORE watching it as a family. I do not trust the world has the best interest of my children at heart, especially today. However I do trust my husband, and that was not communicated in the one word I chose.

I read a quote on Pinterest the other day and began playing around with words. This is what I came up with. Legacy of Woman I will make everything around be beautiful. That will be my life.

That will be my legacy.                                                                 -Rhylee Kendell

I want to be a praiseworthy woman, of and for my Creator. I have a deep desire to do what is right. It has occurred to me...when we take our nature, and put it for God, we are our best, and we are not wrong! When we take our nature and make something or someone else our God there is always sorrow and pain, and more often than not, we do not feel right. Patient, mild, humble, reverent. Strong, bold, steady, certain. Commanding, alluring, charismatic, assertive. Bright, kind, inspiring, joyful. These are all great ways to be! And God teaches us how to use them for our greatest good. When we go our own way, when we try our own thing (not away from social systems, but away from the patterns of God taught by Jesus Christ) these are destructive ways to be. We become the oppressed, the oppressor, the seducer, the unreliable. We decided to be our own ...
