About

Meet the Johnson’s! This picture captured the personality of each of my children so if a picture is worth a thousand words……I need not say more!

Ivy Johnson, the “Ivy League Mom” is:
Anchored in Tradition, Striving for Excellence, Passionate about Jesus!

Anchored in Tradition: My heritage is becoming increasingly more precious to me. Family traditions, southern recipes and the art of “homemaking” have been passed from generation to generation.

Striving for Excellence: I am finding that the pursuit of excellence is vital, regardless of your circumstances. The joys and trials that have entered my life, have been sifted through God’s hands. Proverbs 21:21 inspires me…“He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.”

Passionate about Jesus!: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6:4 says it all…..

Ivy’s Personal Note

In the last twenty years, there have been many seasons for me.  As a widow, these circumstances have enabled me to boldly proclaim the Lord’s protection and provision.

“If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps
firm; though he stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” Psalm 37: 23-24

Join me in exploring the many facets of family life. May your family be blessed as you strive to become a Family For Him!

In Christ,

Ivy Johnson
