Ring! Ring! Goes the Bell…
Yea! The cute UPS man did make it to our house with the rest of our books. I just love the smell of new books! School “officially” started back for us today. We’ve been on a little bit of a hiatus with our move and with summer. We were unschooling for awhile. But it feels …
A Little of this, a little of that…
Guess what. Remember how we’ve had trouble getting the good seats at church? The good news: We got the good seats at church. They were the REALLY good seats, the kind with the upholstered seat AND the upholstered back AND the individual armrests. The bad news: We sat in the stands because we gave the …
Crushing Memories…
This week is chock full of stuff that needs to get done…by me. Like reading this in it’s entirety so that I can lead the discussion on it … tomorrow…at my house…which needs to be cleaned…before tomorrow. Instead, I’ve been trying to finish this. Not only that but I need to finish my talk for …
Desperately Seeking…
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 …
Refreshing
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 …
Playing Catch-up…
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 …

Time's Up!

Next time include: Contest end time Only one answer per entrant Change “guess correctly and win” to “the FIRST person to guess correctly wins”. I’m really good at learning …
To My 4 Faithful Commenters…
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. …
An Open Letter To:
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. …
A First
It’s always exciting when a blogger gets an award, but especially her first award. It happened to me today. Take a look-see: Thanks to Sherine whose blog is a daily read for me. She is an excellent mommy to her four Littles and her two big kids too. Although it’s hard to keep track of …
