I confess, I have always been scared of scrapbooking. I was scared of the cost, the clutter, the mess, and the overwhelming variety of things to choose. I have a hard time making decisions and the scrapbook aisles in Michael’s make me hyperventhilate. So, when I heard of digital scrapbooking, I was a little more …
We have been using Rod and Staff’s English Grammar textbooks for 3 years now and I really like them. They are thorough, well-organized, with good explanations. There are more exercises than I feel are really necessary for my children, but I have solved this by not assigning every question in each set. Doing this took about …

My family loves games. I mean all of us, really love games. If you want to see how much we love games, take a peek into our game cabinet. (It’s not as neat as I would like it to be but…) We have a family game night once a week. (Usually) So why have I …
We decided several months ago to use Tapestry of Grace Year 1 next year. I am very excited about it. I am going to be involved in a small co-op (5 families) meeting every other week. We’ve never been in a co-op before so it will be a new experience for us. The kids are …
