A Brilliant Autumn Day of Glory

October 4, 2015 by CaMarie Hoffman 2 Comments

It's been rainy and dreary and chilly here in PA -which was a great blessing to us yesterday as ALL of our children's events were cancelled!- and we snuggled indoors together to relish the wonderful opportunity of listening to general conference together without a worry in the world.(Well Isaac got to be there in person! And Emily and Anna are watching as they serve missions in OR and CA.  And our Continue Reading

Happy Harvest Season Everyone!- it’s here!!!!!!

September 21, 2015 by CaMarie Hoffman Leave a Comment

5 bushels full = estimated 400 ears = 52 quart size bags of frozen "corn-off-the-cob"!- as Addie refers to it. Oh, the yummiest! Thanks to one of Mike's awesome patients we are privy to the best corn in all the world (I cannot even imagine better). We eat it right up! Or freeze it up for winter! Wonder if 52 bags will last a half a year around here? I can always hope. Happy harvest season Continue Reading

Tips on Potty Training from a Mother of Ten

Emily and Anna turn 19 together

A brilliant, gorgeous, red-orange fire, that was filling up the sky with breathtaking beauty, woke me up this Monday morning.  The light of that sunrise was streaming through our bedroom windows as our little Clara climbed onto the bed to snuggle beside me for a few minutes (her morning tradition that I treasure).  I told Gracie who was getting ready for school nearby to "look and see"! She said, Continue Reading

Monitoring Your Child’s Devices

April 17, 2015 by CaMarie Hoffman 7 Comments

My friend Sarah recently wrote: "I'm wondering if you would mind sharing with me your family policies on electronics for your teens - cell phones, iPads, tablets, computers, etc...   We've really been struggling with this issue lately, and I decided to start polling some of the moms I know!" She continues, "I know there's no easy answer to the question of technology for teens - although I'm Continue Reading

The After-School Routine

April 10, 2015 by CaMarie Hoffman 15 Comments

After 20 years of parenting, now 10 children, we've learned a little about the great importance of the after-school routine! Two years ago we were at our high, 8 children in school from preschool to senior year, with the challenge of new-born twins. I've held this teaching close to my heart as a guide and I have found it to be a fantastic strategy to parenting, it is from a list of 10 ways moms Continue Reading
