This Mom
Hi! I’m Elisabeth, mother of 6 and currently homeschooling two (4 have graduated – Really? I’m over half-way done with my homeschooling journey?!) and wife to my best friend and sweetheart for 27 years. My second born son was married in 2013 and we now have 2 grandchildren. And as of February 2017… our oldest son is married! He married his bride in the middle of winter in Canada. Brrr
I feel that being a homemaker is a gift and a privilege.
Yes, there is the laundry issue :), the dishes to face and the dust bunnies to deal with but we also have the opportunity to express ourselves in so many ways. Society would tell us we’re stifling ourselves but not many other jobs would let you explore so many different opportunities.
We can…
Share Love Through Hospitality
Keep (or try to keep) the Home Organized
Garden
Craft/Sew
and ________________. (you fill in the blank)
Do I have bad days?
Uh, yes. Yes I do!
I felt like this last week.
Yeah, you can feel sorry for my kids if you want to. They probably deserve a little pity. 🙂
But God is faithful and helps us through these times. I love Him for his unfailing love to me.
So what is Treasuring the Moments all about?
It is the place where I share my love for all things related to homemaking, my love of family and my passion for homeschooling.
Thank You for stopping by.
If you would like to contact me directly, I’m at timbuck2mom{at}gmail{dot}com. I would love to hear from you.
I have been inspired by so many bloggers. I hope to also be an inspiration.

Just came by to say hello, now that Tara put the links up. I have 5 children, ages 10-1. Can’t wait to learn from you since you are half done
Elisabeth
I’m still learning, Paola, but I am passionate about homeschooling and all of its benefits. It is such a blessing that we have the opportunity to do it in this country.

Hi, Sister Elisabeth,
Just stumbled across your blog because I saw a picture of a bunch of Sisters in your kitchen online. Lol! It was only from the back but I had a feeling that it was at your house even though I’ve never been there. You may remember me…we go to Bro. Ray Erickson’s, my husband is Earl Horst. Planning to enjoy your blog. God bless you.
Elisabeth
Hi Courtney, Yes, of course I remember you. 🙂 How funny that you should stumble across TTM accidentally. I really enjoy writing here and I hope it’s a blessing to you in some way. By the way, I love comments. 🙂
Tara

Elisabeth
Thank you, Tara!
