Hi, we are the Casalino’s. Alicia is the casalinga (homemaker) in our casalingo (simple) casali (farmhouse). Casalingo can also mean homemade, so we are considering adding a ‘g’ to our last name because we LOVE things that are homemade, simple, etc… On the other hand, Casalino means ’small farmhouse’ and we like that pretty well too. We, Peter and Alicia, met while attending PVBI, married in 2000 and have four children. Evan (5), Ayden (3), Aaron (1), and Eleora (born October 2007). We have 1 dog, 1 lizard, 3 fish, and 2 chickens on 1/2 acre in the city. We are very home focused. Peter runs a home based graphic design business, we are homeschooling although quite informally, we even have our babies at home now! Therefore, most of our blog will probably be about home, or things that directly affect the home. (Come to think of it, what doesn’t affect the home?)
AWWW….HOW PRECIOUS MY DEAR FAMILY!! WE LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YOU MUCH! BUT ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THE PRIVELEGE OF HAVING SISTERS WHO UPHOLD BEING KEEPERS OF THE HOME….NOTHING BETTER IN THE WORLD! WHAT A JOY IS OURS, REALLY!!!
I WAS READING IN MY DEVOTIONS YESTERDAY OF THE VIRTUOS WOMEN..WHAT A RESPONSIBILIY IS OURS, (ESPECIALLY THE GETTING UP WHILEST IT IS YET DARK?!?!)

I APPRECIATE YOU SIS, AND BRO TOO!! KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB!! OXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Hey Toni! We miss you too. Still hoping things will work out and you’ll make it for Thanksgiving.
About getting up while it’s still dark. That’s another reason to move to Indiana. We are the most western state in the Eastern Time Zone, so it gets light here a good 1/2 later than it does where you are.
Luvya,
Alicia
Hey you guys! I haven’t heard anything about you for years, and I just came across your website. Maybe you don’t even remember me from school?
Anyway, I like your site, and am curious about this organizing stuff you were talking about. We have five kids, (7, 6, 4, 1, and 3 months) and I’m homeschooling the two oldest so it can get pretty hectic around here. Gabriel is pastoring, plus two part time jobs, plus raising puppies, plus nursing homes, Penn State, tract outreach, etc., so he’s extremely busy as well. I could really use some organizing tips. I’ve read different books on the subject, but I’m always looking for new ideas. Was it a website you were refering to?
Thanks!
