Why Didn’t I Think Of That?

A homeschool group I am a part of, had a New and Used Curriculum Fair this last weekend.  I usually don’t go just because I don’t have available funds or I don’t want to chase my little one around.  Over the years friends have given me there used or unused curriculum so I have used what the Lord brings my way, which brings another reason for not attending.  For the frugal type it...

Chores

I grew up with out much responsibility in the chores department.  My sweet mother did my laundry, cleaned house early while we slept, she even would make us hot breakfast most mornings.  She was an awesome homemaker.  Which I completely took for granted. As I have been a mother for quite a few years now,  I have come to realize she had to constantly be working inside that house.  My room was hardly...

The Last Leg

It is really getting to the end of the year when it seems so many things come up, and school gets shoved in here and there.  I really begin to fail at the consistency in the last leg of the homeschool race.  The end of the year seems to be prolonged just to finish those last pages of work that need to get done… to officially move to the next grade. Where does that time go?  Oh wait I...

So Tired

I had such a full day today!  By the end I just didn’t want to finish it out.  I wanted to give in to the exhaustion and stay home.  The problem was I didn’t have the heart to look at my kids, who rely on me to take them to their activities and tell them, “Sorry, I am just too tired to go.” Today I was able visit with my friend.  We use to meet every week to play worship...

Stolen Music

So as I sat and watch my kids learn to play soft ball and observed my little busy body in the...

A Serving Heart and Enchiladas

My sister was just here to visit.  So she will be reason for a lot of my postings for a while.  Right before she came I was so sick… just a cold, but it was horrible.  I had no energy my body was so tired, my brain couldn’t keep up with the business of the house.  The kids were sick as well but they usually seem to make it through with out such exhaustion. Anyway my story is about her...

Easter

Oh man Easter is awesome!  We actually call it Resurrection Day.  If any of you don’t understand it I just want to tell you this day is so crucial for us.  Our Lord arose from the dead…he came from the pit of hell and was brought to sit on the throne at the right hand of God as our Savior.  He went through so much pain and suffering, just to die for us, so that we may have a FREE...
