Christmas Memories

Missing Daddy

Scott had a business trip to D.C. this week; only gone for the one night (thankfully). Nonetheless, of course, the short duration didn’t keep us from missing him. Sarah’s had the most sentimental correspondence with Daddy…At times, a little dramatic, but sweet. (I know what some of you are thinking…something about a “pot calling the [...]

Help With Homeschooling

As I mentioned in my last post, there have been several things that I have wanted to post, but just haven’t had the time. For two weeks now, I have been wanting to post about the homeschooling conference I attended. Classical Conversations (CC) is the name of the new homeschooling program the kids and I [...]

So Many Things To Post…

…and so little time! Sometimes it seems as if I have nothing to blog about, while at other times, I may have several ideas brewing, but can’t find the time to complete them! This week is certainly busy. Our church is having Vacation Bible School, and the kids are having a blast! All the kids [...]

Do Lightning Bugs Get Headaches?

Yesterday, I was out mowing the grass, when Sarah suddenly appeared in front of me. (Well, you know, not really…It just seemed that way.) I looked up and there was my little girl on the sidewalk, dressed in her cute little Winnie the Pooh “skort” and her blue and yellow flowered shirt. She was holding [...]

A Great Day

Today sure has been a great day, and I thank the Lord for it. Suzanne and her son Ethan had us over to their house for some fun in the pool. It was a perfect day for “splishing and splashing.” In my opinion, the only way to be outside on hot, humid days like this [...]

Sarah’s First Plastic Card…

…her first library card, that is. What did you think I meant? What kind of fool do ya think I am?! Yeah, the library card is quite enough for now! People are constantly saying to me, “Just think about what it will be like when Sarah goes to get her Driver’s License.” Instead, I think [...]

Technology, Tracking, and Treasure–(It’s Wild!!)

Yesterday, the kids and I went on an interesting field trip. It was really neat and different. We went to our local Wildlife Center (they provide lots of awesome field trips and classroom experiences). The kids and I first went into the classroom with several other home-schoolers from our home-school group. We were then introduced [...]

Photos and Fun

This past week my nieces (Heather and Rachel) were out of public school for Spring Break, and the kids and I were able to get with them a couple of times. We spent some time over at Grandma and Grand-Daddy’s, and we also went to the Town Park and Clemmons State Forest.  Heather, my 13 [...]

Homeschooling “Q and A”

As I stated in my last post, if you are considering homeschooling, you may be interested in the following information (and the remaining posts in this series) . (However, again, please note that individual states differ in their requirements.) In this post, I will do my best to address the following homeschooling questions: –Are you [...]
