I have been kind of incognito for a while. Life has changed in the last year, drastically. For one, we had a baby. Well, not me. But, our family. In other words, we are adopting again. I will share more in the future. It is amazing how this little one came to be in our […]

It is well with my soul. A 5th grade memory. Learning to “laugh at myself.”

Emotional Wreck Week
For whatever reason, what we thought was going to be, isn’t.
We are crushed, but not broken. Hurt but not dismayed.
What we held n our hands and got to love on for very few short hours was amazing for this side of Heaven.

Great NEWS! After a year of destruction – we have a blessing!
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah […]

When my children are sick, we have “a movie day.” When they were younger, they watched cartoons. (I can’t stand cartoons. They irritate me.) Now that they are older – unless cartoons are teaching history – they are not acceptable for our “Movie Day.” So I decided to have a list of movies for the […]
Once upon a time…there was a real fairy tale.
There is no other book that makes me appreciate my life more than the Word of God. It is a Real Life Fairy Tale. In my home school curriculum – it suggests that I teach my students to memorize the books of the Bible. I don’t know about you but sometimes I ponder “Why do […]
Buckets of fun…
Sometimes we get a little stir-crazy in our home. So, we look to each other for some entertainment. What should we do? Let’s make funny faces! Okay, that went fast. Now what? Let’s lay on our backs and count the stars. Oh, wait it is daytime. Let’s count to one trillion. {Aren’t those cute feet?} […]
Tearing up the streets
One of my favorite things about educating my children at home are field trips. We thrive on seeing how things are made, how things work, how people work together as a team, and of course to see the final product.
