It has been a while since I’ve updated my reading list as part of the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge. The last update of my reading list was my Spring Reading Fling conclusion. This is week 33 and I have only completed 27 books. You would think that I’d have gotten ahead over the …
What’s in the Bible? is the new video series by the creator of Veggie Tales, Phil Vischer. The series uses puppets and music to teach Biblical truths. I received the latest DVD,Wanderin’ in the Desert from Tyndale House Publishers to review. Wanderin’ in the Desert contains 2 25 minute episodes that cover the books of Leviticus, …
I like to use the term “Relaxed Classical” to describe our homeschooling style. It’s a description that you may or may not consider accurate depending on your perspective. A relaxed homeschooler wouldn’t find us very relaxed, but we’re not as disciplined with our memory work as a strict classical educator. However, one classical subject that …
Look what all I got at Staples on Saturday. And they’re paying my 90 cents to take it off their hands, lol 🙂 I had a $3.00 coupon from recycling an ink cartridge. The spirals were 15 cents each and the folders were 5 cents each. The paper was $4.99 but we will receive the …
A roadblock. I feel like that’s what I’ve been up against. Everywhere I turned, there was something that needed to be organized, but something else needed to be done first. I need to get school planning done, but first I had this huge bin of clothes in my room and another one that was calling …

I mentioned in my last post that I like to go to different places on vacation so that we can see new things. One of the new places that we visited on our recent trip to Surfside Beach was Brookgreen Gardens. This place is a terrific field trip! Brookgreen Gardens is located on the acreage …
I think I’m finally caught up from our week at the beach. Though I don’t know if I ever truly catch up with laundry! I must confess that I am not super fond of the beach. Strike 1: I’m fair-skinned and I don’t tan. And I’m not supposed to even try because I’m above average …
My little one will be 4 in October. Just in case we might forget, she reminds us every day. She’s also learning to recite the months in order. I think she’s got them down from July to October. It is so funny to listen to her talk about being 4. In her mind, everything will …
This is my husband’s packing list for vacation. I’ve always been the organized one. So when my husband steps up and makes a list, I have to applaud him. (Though I do think of how I would do it differently.) But does it really matter that it’s got things to do mixed in with things …
