I don’t do a lot of guest posts on my blog. Actually, I don’t know that I’ve ever had a guest. (But if anyone is interested, let me know.) Today’s guest is someone very special to me. It’s my husband! (So how could I turn him down?) He had a blog post he had to…
Wordle
Over on His Mercy is New and Our Busy Homeschool I was introduced to a unique internet tool. Wordle.net creates those neat word clouds. You can enter words, paste a document, or enter any url and it will create an image from that. Then you can customize the orientation and the colors to create a…
Too much planning???
GASP!!! Could there be such a thing as too much planning? Who hasn’t heard the quote – He who fails to plan, plans to fail. I love to plan. I plan to plan. Planning is one of my favorite activities. But yesterday I started thinking about all my planning in a different light. On Tuesday…
New Blog Look
I was playing around and making a new blog header, but then it didn’t go with the plaid, so I took the plaid off for a while. I don’t know if I like all this brown though. Feel free to share your opinions (nicely). By Kristen H.

New Review Page on Squidoo
