Kid’s Comments

My kids are constantly saying humorous things. I just realized today, that I haven’t posted any of their funny comments in a while. I don’t ever want to get too busy, bogged down, or too consumed in daily activities that I forget to take notice of the cute things they say. In the last couple [...]

“What I Wish I Had Known…

…My First Year of Homeschooling” is the Friday meme for “The Heart of the Matter.” (I found it at Tracy’s blog, here). The main thing that comes to mind for me is that I think I would have stressed a little less and enjoyed a little more. I actually answered this same meme several months [...]

Rudolph Says “Hi!”

O.k., just give me a chance to explain. There’s this cell-phone commercial where the daddy has to go away on a business trip, and his little girl slips her stuffed animal into his suitcase. Well, remembering that commercial, my Sarah Beth asked her daddy to take along something of hers. When she told me about [...]

So, I’m The Expert Now?!

I took the hubby’s advice today (he loves it when I do that!) About 10:30 this morning, I threw on some old clothes and sneakers and headed out to the backyard. I began cleaning up the yard; clearing a path from rocks, sticks, toys, and various other debris. Next, I grabbed some planks of wood [...]

A Homeschooling Monday

I Thank Him…

…for the neighborhood Burger King! After homeschooling, this afternoon, I was sitting at the local Burger King in the indoor play-place.  I found a great spot where the sun was shining through the windows onto the table.  It was so nice to feel the warm sun, while snug inside; protected from the chilly wind… Such [...]

Motherhood–How Delightfully Confusing

Last night, I plopped down in my recliner at about 8:00 p.m. The kids were absorbed in a cartoon they were watching on T.V., so I thought to myself, “Yay, here’s a chance for me to read a little.” I dug out the book (More Stories For The Heart) that I had tried to start [...]

Everlasting Love

Everlasting Love (The Love Of A Parent) (By: Janet Chestnut, 2/21/08) Oh Lord, my Savior and friend… Just why do you love me so? You love me, even with each flaw Yet, why I will never know. _____________________________ I know you loved me first… and that for me–You chose to die. You suffered such pain [...]

So, What’s My Problem?!

Ah, so just what has been going on with me lately, huh? Well, I think “my problem” the last couple of days has been…that I have been cooped up in this house, thinking that I have a problem!! (O.k., does that make any sense?) You see, I don’t do well “staying at home for days [...]
