About Sonja

I am a wife, a mom, a homeschooler, a Christian, a scrapbooker, a cook, a baker, a reader, and a thinker. I am many other things, too, that are not so easily defined. Right now, God has been calling me to be faithful in what He has given me to do – to be the best wife, mom, homeschooler, friend, etc. that I can be. In essence, He has told me to “bloom where I’m planted”.

While driving Jonathan home from jujutsu today, he read the Garlic Jim’s sign – “Now serving glutton-free pizza.” We had a good laugh and an even better discussion over his misreading. 🙂
