I’ve received a lot of fun curriculum products as a member of the Homeschool Crew. And I really like curriculum, but I have to share the curriculum with my children. Beeyoutiful sent us some products just for us, the homeschool moms. (Or any woman, of course.) I know that I spend very little time on …
Like a good little girl, I posted my goals for the year on January 1st. Note, I did not call them resolutions. I meant to post about my progress on March 31, since that would be the end of the quarter and I’m compulsive I like symmetry. But for whatever reason I didn’t do it. …
It’s Tuesday evening of my week-long spring break and I feel like I’ve gotten nothing done! I’ve actually gotten a lot done, I just haven’t touched any of the school planning. Yesterday afternoon I took the kids to 4H. The kids did paper bag presentations. I was proud of my little guy standing up and …

Phew. I’ve been so busy lately with life, that I haven’t had time to blog about it. I guess that’s a good thing. Last week, my husband turned 40! This is the inside of the birthday card my older son (11) made for him. I made him a carrot cake that was delicious, though a …
You have got to be kidding me! The Census Bureau sent us a letter telling us that they’ll be sending us a census form. How much money did these useless letters cost? And they think they could do a better job with health care?
My oldest son is very difficult to wake up in the morning. I’ve tried having him set an alarm clock to no avail. I am usually fairly busy in the mornings and it always irritates me to have to stop what I’m doing and go upstairs to wake him up yet again. Plus he is …
by Robert M. McCheyne When this passing world is done, When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory, Looking o’er life’s finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know— Not till then—how much I owe. When I stand before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, When I see …
This is my older son’s latest video project. He had to write a poem for our book club, so he came up with the idea for a poem and made it into a video. I helped with some of the (very bad) filming. Who knew there was so much to think about with camera angles? …
She gets all her fashion sense from me.
