My last baby has (finally) stopped nursing. We’ve both cried some, but he is a big boy who understands that it’s time to move on. On the positive side, though, I can have dairy and citrus products again! (He’s allergic to both and I have truly sacrificed for him for nearly two years without cheese…
It’s hard to believe my littlest one is almost two. Time flies. He’s been up to some antics lately that I wanted to be sure to document….. During a family movie one evening, we made “real” popcorn in a pan on the stove. The following day, Eli was served corn as part of his lunch. …
Mahayla surprised me this morning with a very yummy breakfast in honor of my 37th birthday. I wasn’t allowed to come downstairs until it was ready – in other words, they made me stay in bed for an extra half-hour! When I was called down, everyone greeted me at the bottom of steps by singing…
What’s good about living on a gravel road in a drought? This…. The same child (who wants to be anonymous) made me an early birthday present. It’s a new broom made from alfalfa hay. It leaves the most lovely covering of alfalfa leaves on my porch as I sweep.
What’s an eight-year-old boy to do when he’s been told he has chores to finish before he watches tv AND his mom asks him to watch the toddler for a few minutes? Well, tie the toddler to a leash and make him do your chores, what else? (The sad thing is – Eli LOVED this…
In preparing to speak to the THINK and CACH homeschool support goups this week, I haven’t had (and probably won’t have) much time to blog. I’m very excited about both of these meetings because I get to see a few long lost homeschooling friends AND meet a few blogging friends! Not to mention, I get to…
I’ve been waiting a long time to become a mommy. Up until now, I’ve been a mama. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a mama, but there’s just something extra-special about being a mommy. :o) This weekend, that sweet word started rolling out of Eli’s mouth and I just can’t get enough of it!…
Melissa and her family came to visit us this past weekend!! We’ve been friends for nearly ten years, but have lived an hour and a half away from each other for six of those years now. Thank the Lord for internet and email service! :o) We share so many similarities from curriculum choices to food sensitivities to a…
This isn’t the first time I’ve found gum in the dryer. The barber just loves handing out handfuls of gum to the kids as they leave. Sadly, the gum rarely finds its way out of Caleb’s pockets and into his mouth. This time, HE was the one who had the lovely job of scraping the…
Caleb LOVES baseball. And I love watching him – up to a point. By the end of the season, this momma’s had her fill of baseball games. And, so, we’re finally at the end of Coach Pitch, year one. His team, the Storm wasn’t the winning team he had hoped for, but they weren’t the…
Why am I on a blogging break? The Nature E-Book. The CHEK Convention. Yep, that’s me in the speaker’s section! You might pray for me, I’m getting a bit nervous. At the same time, I’m VERY excited! I’ll be doing a workshop on adding creative touches to your homeschool. I think more than anything, I’m…
Have you ever visited Shakertown? It’s such a lovely place to visit in Central KY. This weekend, we were treated to our first ever overnight stay in one of the original village buildings! My father-in-law took our family and the horses for two days of trail riding, hiking, touring and dining at the historic restaurant. …
