It’s weekly wrap-up time! If you want to join in, we’d love to see what is going on with you, so please visit Mary. I was so excited about re-joining this meme again, and I’ve run out of time to tell the story I’d want to as I’ve ‘miles to go before […]
And Puppy makes Seven
Well, to say that I’m making adjustments in the last week-and-a-half would be an understatement. We began school on last week, and I’ve already blogged about my lack of preparedness (from my perspective) as we start the new school year 3 weeks before I was ready. Blog? Tweet? Who has time? I had to make another […]
Yummy Monday: Easy Peach Cobbler
A couple of followers had asked me to send a recipe for a very easy cobbler recipe I bragged about some weeks ago on Twitter. Even though I cook often, I’ve never been one to post recipes. My family enjoys my cooking, and I’m able to give each person’s peculiarities a unique and flavorful […]
Exactly what my Family Needs
O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together. I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:3-4 I am so excited this morning to tell you that Angela, formally of Fruitfulfamily, now (hopefully soon) blogging at 7PeasinaPod is celebrating her […]
What I did this summer
Given that we’re starting school on next week, I suppose this is an appropriate title. During the week that I wrote my last post, there was also Vacation Bible School (VBS). This picture doesn’t fully capture the work that was put into transforming our church gymnasium into a high seas adventure—ocean-like wallpaper and all. […]
Musings
So much has happened in the last 1-1/2 weeks and I’m having trouble sorting it into a coherent blog post, but I’ll give it a shot. Maybe chronological order will help. We ordered our steps to have a very uneventful Independence Day, turning down a couple of invitations to get together for grilling, formal fireworks […]
Lessons from the garden
Our area has been on the wet side of a tropical storm/ hurricane, so we’ve spent several days inside, reading, cleaning, and watching the streets flood. With the storm dissipating after three days, I thought this would be the perfect morning to weed before it got too hot. I thought I might just “hang out” […]
Planners and planning
Trying to type a new blog post while cleaning up my “blog debris” post-upgrade is like deciding to dust and rearrange the family room furniture while setting out the gallons of new paint. (Yes, I’ve been there, too). I’ve spent much of the morning re-categorizing posts that got lumped into my miscellaneous file, “the Candy […]
First Fruits (and Vegetables)
Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field. Matthew 9: 37-38
The busiest summer–(until next year)
Unless the Lord says differently, this has been/ will be our summer: Weeks 1 and 2: preparation for this year’s dance recital Week 3: oldest in class for PSAT review Week 4 (this week): oldest away at camp Week 5: oldest in class for PSAT review, part II Week 6: son at National Dance competition […]
Dance Recital 2010
Plan A was to compile a Photobucket slide show that would show off the many photos that I wanted to share. I then found out that the HSB upgrade doesn’t support Photobucket slide shows, and there’s a new program/ plug-in that I’d need to master in order to post my slide show. Later for that–literally. […]
A Rose by any other name…
Would it smell as sweet? I was reminded of this famous Shakespearean line when I read through a fairly recent discussion that, after polling the names of group members’ homeschools, suggested that names might indeed make a difference. More specifically, the concern was that Christian homeschool names might be suspect at non-Christian colleges. The […]
