Hello. My name is Jennifer and I am a wife to a wonderful, Godly man, Adam. We were married in March of 2000 and we have 10 children: 3 girls & 7 boys. We are ready for another girl! Lol
In August of 2009, the Lord gave us the green light to start our own business, Dewings Catering & Confections. We converted a large room off our house into a commercial kitchen, which has made it possible to have the business in our home. Since January 2010, we have had the contract for the “Meals on Wheels” elderly feeding program for our county.
When our eldest was to start 1st grade, we decided to homeschool. That was in 2007. While some days are quite hairy & chaotic, I love schooling my children at home! Watching the sparks fly when their passions are kindled, helping them over come their weaknesses, & getting to really know them. It’s an honor (& sometimes quite scary!) to guide them this way.
In my spare time (ha!) I LOVE to sew! Sewing clothes, quilts, bags, home decor, … you name it, I’ll try it! I have a quilting business, Patches of Grace, which I opened in 2012. My husband is supportive in my “hobby”, as long as I don’t spend too much! I’m the dreamer and Adam is my graphic designer, helping me make my dreams a reality: we make a perfect pair!
After many years, the Lord had given us the “green light” to build our own home. In May 2016, we purchased 7.65 acres of never-developed wooded land. I fell in love with it before we were even done “touring” it! We did as much of the building & finishing as we could ourselves. It’s been wonderful to see how God has provided everything we need, just when we need it: from finances, to timing, to friends being available to help,… the whole situation! We did the final move in June 2017. Before a year was up, we had 52 chickens & a Jersey cow (6 months after she came home, we bought another Jersey with her calf!). Talk about jumping in with both feet!
Thanks for joining us in our crazy, chaotic, loving journey!
Jennifer
I am James McDermott. My wife Cindy and I have been blessed by God with 13 children. We also homeschool and above all, we are Christians. We recently started a website called Christian family meeting place (www.christianfamilymeetingplace.com). Many who hold our views are isolated and are looking for online fellowship, personal fellowship, churches, and even spouses. I am inviting you to register. It is free. If you’re not interested, that is perfectly fine. May God bless you in all you do for Him. – In the Vine, Jim for Cindy and the rest
P.S. We also publish SALT Magazine. If you would like to check us out go to http://www.saltmagazine.com
