I’m a bit of a stickler about my Christmas tree. I insist on having a “real” tree every year. It’s certainly not the most frugal choice, but I just love the smell of the tree. I also love how every year the tree looks a little bit different. It’s kind of funny that even though…
A Little Update
I’m thinking instead of calling my blog A Day in the Life, I should rename it to A Week in the Life. In some ways things are slowing down a bit (my kids are finished with cross country), but life continues to fly by. We’ve been moving along with our schooling. For the most part…
Fall Break!
I decided that this year I was going to do something new. We finished 9 weeks of school and are taking a whole week off. Unfortunately, it’s already Wednesday and I’m just getting around to making a post about it. I wish I could say that I’ve spend too much time relaxing. Yesterday morning we…

An Encouraging Sight
I confess. There are days when I wonder why I am homeschooling. I look around and feel discouraged at my imperfect children. I feel like everyone else’s children are enjoying learning and mine (especially the boys) still complain. As I type this, I realize how ridiculous these feelings are. I know that other families struggle.…

Guidecraft Hideaway Country Kitchen
I have been writing product reviews for over 3 years, and I still get excited about just about every item I receive to review. It’s a little bit like Christmas waiting for a new package. But when I saw that some of the Homeschool Crew were going to receive a Guidecraft Hideaway Country Kitchen to…

Small Blessings
Yesterday I posted about my insanely busy week. One of the things that I didn’t mention in that post was the weather turned cool on Friday. Thankfully, I knew the weather forecast ahead of time. But I had a problem. Remember how I mentioned that my son had no fall clothes? We had a field trip…
Weekly Report – The Insanely Busy Week
Do you know that commercial with the guy sitting behind a desk saying, “I can do that. I can do that….How am I going to that?” That’s kind of how I felt at the beginning of this week. The kids had 3 cross country meets. I had 3 writing deadlines. I had a consignment sale…
