Often I wonder if my words are worthwhile.
Does anyone even read my little blog: one in a sea of other blogs?
Every Wednesday when I publish a new post, I wonder, is it worth my time? Does anyone read and feel encouraged, or try a recipe, or enjoy a good story?
But every year on our trip back East, I find people who read my words and keep up with our life here in Alaska.
Hearing that, meeting you, learning that there are people who read my musings, gives me the encouragement to go on and write every week for another year.
And so I thank you. You have given me a reason to continue.
Just a quick comment from another reader. I read your blog like a book after finding it. The glimpses into Alaskan life are fascinating, and I also love how you include your littles in the tasks at hand. Courage to you from another mom of 4.
Hi! I found your blog earlier this year and have enjoyed keeping up since. I’m always fascinated by the different cultures in the world. I’ve lived in Costa Rica all my life so to read about such a different place is captivating!
I love reading your blog posts=) Alaska and off grid living have always interested me! so keep writing, I like your style! I’m not a writer so I admire ppl like you who can write well.
I’ve enjoyed reading your blog, and yes, I tried the recipe for Salmon. It was delicious!! Told our married son about it and he tried it too, and liked it.
We have been to Alaska once on a cruise ship. Beautiful scenery! We did get to visit several cities on our trip. We were awed by the size of the vegetables in the garden at one place we stopped. Those cabbages were huge!
I don’t know you personally and I haven’t been following you very long yet, but Alaska has always intrigued me! I would love to be able to do what you are doing up there! I dream of off the grid living. 🙂 I really enjoy your blog and getting glimpses of your life way up in the North! We have a pilot friend and his family who live up there, and I so much enjoy following his posts on Facebook, too.
I love your picture! God has blessed you with beauty, warmth and spunk. It’s fun to read about your life and stay more caught up that way.
Hi! I’m from Northern Alberta and enjoy your blogs. As a homeschooling mom I’m looking forward to implementing your ideas to keep preschoolers occupied from a recent article. Keep heart! The Lord has given us motherhood as a gift and also the grace to see it through
Hello, I feel bad since when I used to blog I longed for comments, but when the posts come so easily in my email and I snag a read while I rock the baby I forget! But I love the view into your life. And love the way you write, also how your share reality when it comes to raising littles and mothering. Courage to you!
Like! And I also like that you visit when you can! I’d be glad you live in Alaska if it didn’t mean you are 4000 miles away!
I also do terrible at commenting but always look forward to hearing about your busy little family!
Since I recently moved to a tiny church group in Northern AB, from a much more heavily populated area, I can understand your feelings of loneliness at times!! I love consistent, weekly bloggers like you. Small things like this help to make the weeks go by:) keep on serving where you are called!
You have a beautiful way with words! Don’t stop writing!😊
Since discovering this blog through Shari Zook’s blog this past summer I am enjoying it😁
Wednesday’s must come quickly. Do you always know what to write about?🌸
I love reading all about your life in Alaska, it helps me to get to know to better since we don’t see you and your family very often. And thank you for taking the time to write.
I love to read about your life in Alaska! I heard about your blog through one of Matt Snader’s books and have been following ever since. 🙂
I love reading your posts Tabitha, the homesteading, down home ways of living, your dear family. It’s like a touch of home as well since I grew up with Andy’s parents. A transplant to Iowa from Pa. You are doing a great job! Bless you! Edie Zeager Kemp
Hi! I’m Rachel Yoder, homeschool mom in Ohio with 6 children. I’ve never commented before. (Its easier to read than type one handed while nursing baby)🙂 Tabitha, just want to say I enjoy reading your blog since I discovered it this spring, I think referenced to in another blog. I went back and read all your back blogs.🙂 Your way of life in Alaska and your perspective on things inspires me. Also enjoy the photos. I don’t think I know you personally, but know your parents from their visits to Remnant where we attend. God bless you!
We have been here for 3 years this time. My husband and I both served here for 2 years before we were married.

I’ve never commented but I enjoy your posts alot. 😀 I’ve always wanted to visit alaska but never was able to, so I enjoy glimpses of the land there. We are replants from PA to East Africa. 🤗
Wow, East Africa! How long have you lived there?
I always read your posts and enjoy it!
I’m so glad! I love hearing back from people who read it.
