Thirty-something, fashion-conscious, intelligent, abnormally “normal” homeschooling mother of 4 seeks fellow homeschooling mother with similar interests and with similar aged kids for get-togethers to share ideas, books, field trips, play dates, science labs, and friendship. Must be vain enough to wear make-up, have an actual hairstyle, and appreciate the value of a great fitting pair …
We are loving watching the Olympics! The gymnastics, the synchronized diving, the swimming… I enjoy watching to see if the athletes know the words to their national anthems. And we got a kick out of Mark Spitz’s generous but somewhat arrogant interview this evening. But I must vent a little. While I can appreciate the …
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. . . and it’s not over yet. A quick recap while I’m sitting down. I took the kids to Utah and dropped off Maddy and her cousin in Provo for a week of this: While the boys and I spent the week at my Mom’s: Hanging out with …

I’m a fan of The Pioneer Woman and at least once a month she does a really cool giveaway. Among the prizes have been Kitchen-Aid mixers, MP3 players, $500 American Express gift cards, and Photoshop products. I always enter by commenting but, with an average of 11,000 comments, my chances of winning are pathetically low. …

We’ve got lots of choices around here but since we’re only 2 miles from the Boise River, that was our river of choice on Saturday. Since we don’t own a single piece of floating equipment yet, …

Benjamin Moore Co., You don’t know me but I have a proposition for you. You see, I am a stay-at-home mom of four kids. Although most of my time is devoted to homeschooling them, being a wife to my husband, blogging, and taking care of the household, I actually have my own interests and hobbies. …
It makes me so sad. I’m in mourning. My baby is no longer three. He’s our last one and he’s growing up far too fast. Anyone know a cure for this? I’ve asked him to stop, and he’s assured me he’s tried but he just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I’ve told him that I …
