I came across this prayer card that I received at a homeschool meeting awhile back. I thought I’d share it here for others that might find it beneficial. The idea is to pray for each virtue according to the day of the month. I found the original article online here, if you’d like to read [...]

So many movies today, even the ones marketed for kids, are full of material that is objectionable to parents. It’s nearly impossible to know just by movie descriptions and trailers how much profanity and ‘adult situations’ will be included. I thought I’d share some resources to help you find out the ‘family-friendly’ level of movies [...]

It is currently 59 degrees outside and we are under a winter weather advisory, to-wit: A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 AM CST MONDAY. CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL INCREASE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING. THE RAIN IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE TO SNOW AROUND MID EVENING…AND [...]

I keep putting off writing an entry because there’s so much to say. I’ve decided it might be easier to just pour it all out in one post and get it over with. So, this has been an up and down week and a half or so. We celebrated my younger son’s 7th birthday (7!?!). [...]

My blog has always been at Homeschoolblogger, but since I’m no longer on staff there, I decided I’d like to try having my blog on my own site. I don’t want to lose my readership at HSB, so I’ll continue posting there and also post here for the time being. Most of the posts will [...]

You know how when you have so much going on, you don’t even have time to tell people what’s going on and even when you finally get time, you don’t even know where to start? Well, that’s where I am now. So I’ll give a quick run-down to at least get up to speed and [...]

I think this is the first one I’ve ever seen. He (she?) took up a position on our gazebo right outside our door and was very patient while I took pictures. I thought this one turned out kind of neat looking.

It’s been awhile since I posted anything and my brain is too tired to think of anything too cohesive or clever today, so I guess I’ll just toss out some random bits and see if it makes any sense. Today is Day 2 of the Air Conditioning/Furnace/Basement Vent Installation. Our a/c went out…oh…a couple months [...]
