A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Still in the home country but thinking about 'home'

This snap was taken at our family's farm. The trails we maintain are wonderful places to pick berries and hunt for moths and butterflies. Such simple summer pleasures!

Yup, I'm back online from the home country. I was reading newspapers from the region of my home (the one where I spend the most time these past few years). And, I noticed that Ramadan will most likely begin about the same time I arrive back. I've been thinking about my husband and how he's going to have to work AND stock up on groceries. I so appreciate ALL the work he does!
Over the summer, it came to light that my aunt/uncle/cousins have access to a vacation flat very near where I live in the middle east. I sometimes have a difficult time explaining how to dress when visiting the region. Yes, in some places certain clothing is not illegal while it is disrespectful. Reading a newspaper online this morning, I came across an article on women's dress. I believe I've posted a link to this article before, but I still feel it is helpful and relevant.
Now, off to clean the family home in the home country and figure out how I'm going to pack EVERYTHING in 6 suitcases. A mother's work is never done!
