I’m just a day late getting to this post. Yesterday was a little too crazy to even sit down to think. I did at least talk to my mom on the phone to wish her a happy birthday yesterday. She’s probably been too busy to read this blog anyway. She’s hosting a “Sisters Week” with, …
OK. I’ve never really been interested in politics. I’ve pretty much just gone with the majority without much thought behind it. I know. Very un-American of me. But, hey it’s true. That is, until this election. With our nation in the midst of a financial crisis without a solution in sight, I’ve been shaken into …
I have a little confession to make. Remember how Gab spotlighted me on her blog not too long ago? Remember the interview I gave on how, where, when, and why we love homeschooling? Remember all the wonderful comments from all of you admiring, pondering, scratching your head, and considering my view about this alternately extraordinary …
She’s a teenager! Here are a few pearls that have exploded from Maddy’s sweet mouth this week. “My hair just needs to go away. AND. DIE!” ” I can’t help it if my stupid math teacher still lives with his mother and plays with stupid action figures and takes it out on us by giving …

She’s off enjoying her day somewhere warm and sunny. This particular birthday is sometimes greeted with trepidation and dread. It can bring on sensations of traveling up and …
One of my favorite blogs to visit is Gabi’s. Awhile back I mentioned how much I love her weekly feature where she interviews a reader. Well, I’m lucky enough to be her guest today! If you’ve ever wondered why in the world anyone would choose to homeschool and what in the world they did all …

Hello to everyone from Blog Around the World. Thanks, Debbie, for spotlighting this little blog of mine! Sometimes a sinister black widow crawls out of the shadows of the garage and into my sneaker as I’m slumbering away in my bed. It waits for dawn when my unsuspecting stockinged foot settles into its well- worn …
Life has been a little crazy here lately. More on that another day. For now, I am another year older. Ralf and the kids whipped up some cinnamon rolls for breakfast and baked this yummy Texas sheet cake to celebrate. I was surprised with a shiny new cherry red cruiser bike just right for trawling …

I opened the fridge this morning and found this… I don’t think this was on the list. It may be the grossest thing in my fridge. How about you. What’s the grossest thing in your fridge right now???
Guess what came in the mail this week… First we scraped some cells off the palm of Jack’s hand with a scalpel… Then we checked out what was going on in the inside of our cheeks… Also on the menu was stinky toe jam, a juicy apple sliver, a freshly plucked strand of hair, a …
