I’m baaacccck! I was chatting with Karen for a minute on last night, and tried to pen, with onsetting fatigue (sorry, K!), how glad I was to be back on the routine of the meme. At any rate, if you want to participate in this meme, please visit Carol at ThreeLittleLadies, and be sure […]
God’s Amazing Hand, No Matter Where you Are
I am so excited!!! If you have opportunity, please stop by Phyllis’ blog and see once again the amazing hand of God. Phyllis is one of a few of my blogging buddies who’ve lost homes in this past year. We’ve been in regular prayer for her, and when I showed my husband her story, we both just sat in awe […]
Welcoming the New Year
Happy New Year! How’d you spend yours? I’ve spent my time in interesting blocks during this holiday. The kids and I take a three-week break from school, and it occurred to me that, either consciously or subconsciously, my weeks have looked like this: Week 1: final holiday preparations, some rest, and a […]
To GED or not to GED?
That is the question—at least, in several of the high school homeschool communities that I frequent. This is an exciting time of year for those that are in the throes of college applications, acceptances, and (financial aid) agreements. This latter portion—put quite simply, getting someone else to pay for your child’s education—always leads to discussion […]
More than 1 Day
Merry Christmas! I’m still celebrating, which brings me right to the point of my post. But first, a bit of a purposeful digression. How did you spend Christmas Day? Ours began at 6 a.m. We actually made the younger two, who set our son’s alarm to get them going, lay in the bed until […]
Parade Fun, and Christmas Thoughts
I mentioned in my last post that the dance center’s performance team marched in two parades this past weekend. For most team parents, this meant getting the child to and from the parade, and (in many cases) standing on the sidelines to cheer the kid on as they performed. For us, it also meant walking—all […]
The Week’s Wrap-up (well, sort of)
What a week! I’m still recuperating from all the activities, and yet I am in wind-down mode, intentionally avoiding my tendency to overbook the holiday. I’m adamant about not missing the reason in the busy-ness of the season. I will perhaps take a deliberate break from the weekly wrap-up format during these next three weeks […]
Dance Practice
I got a couple of notes offline about this month’s header. These shots were taken by another parent of the dance center, and I don’t know how I laid the CD away for 6 months without looking at it. I wish I had skills in photography like this. But at least I get to share […]
The Blank Slate, Teens, and Memories
“I don’t feel so well.” This was where I started my day. We’ve been blessed in that the kids are not sick very often, so a bad cough or stomach upset can throw our day off completely. As it turns out, the youngest only had a sniffle, and was feeling well enough by the day’s […]
Weekly Homeschool Report–December 6, 2009
It is far too late to write this, but I was determined to not wake up in the a.m. with it still left on my weekend platter of “to dos”. As I’m somewhere between awake and dozing, I’ll make it brief. If you want to participate in this meme, please visit Carol at ThreeLittleLadies, and […]
Pulling off Weight(s)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1(NIV, emphasis mine) The Lord has been really speaking to me in “niblets” lately, and […]
