Why call it a “Mental Health Day”? This was the term some of the teachers my husband used to work with used when they were taking a sick day when the weren’t really “sick”. My borrowing the term does not mean that I condone this use of sick days, but I did get my “sick” …
Tomorrow I’m taking a mental health day. We’ve been doing fairly well at getting school done every day. But I just need some time off. I still feel like I’ve been rushing around to do things, but accomplishing nothing. First thing on tomorrow’s agenda…renew my driver’s license. Exciting huh? The good news is my husband …
I was recently offered the opportunity to review new Christian films. Not being one who likes to turn down review opportunities, I agreed. Then I started to wonder if I was the best person to ask. You see the problem is I haven’t seen many “Christian” films that I like. I have found that most …
The day has come and gone. It was the most anticipated event in our household for months (at least by one certain person.) Our youngest celebrated her 4th birthday. Her birthday was on Thursday, but we had a full schedule that afternoon that started with Kids4Truth at church, which she loves, and where she was …
In my last weekly summary, I mentioned how busy we had been. I also wrote about extra-curricular activities on the Front Porch and how over-scheduled we have been. At the same time, the topic of hospitality keeps coming up. I was the chat hostess for Molly’s talk on hospitality at The Schoolhouse Expo. I’m also …
My younger children both get completely absorbed in what they watch on television. That is a good thing when I need time to work uninterrupted with my older children. I know they’re paying attention, because they will repeat things that they’ve heard on videos that they watch. So I try to be especially careful in …
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 …
OK, so it’s not a major award. But I won something great! I enter some giveaways, but I frequently skip them because they are just too much trouble to enter. However, when I saw this giveaway on Homeschool Creations, I couldn’t resist entering. (And doing everything I could to earn more entries.) I am thrilled …
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 …
