I missed my personal deadline for the weekly homeschool wrap-up. I could still write it, but there is a point when the weeks begin to run together for me. Not to mention that I have all of these ideas flowing through my head, and because I don’t stop to write them down, I can […]
Weekly Homeschool Report–November 15, 2009
The oldest wasn’t feeling well this morning and I so stayed home from with her, hence the early weekend wrap-up. I hated to miss church as this is our one Sunday with no other responsibilities at church than to enjoy time with the Lord. However, with http://www.streamingfaith.com, staying home from church isn’t what […]
Why Read Classics?
From Charlotte’s Web: (Wilbur asks:) “Why did you do all this for me? I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.” “You have been my friend,” replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all what’s a life, anyway? We’re […]
Removing Personal Agenda from God’s Plans
On last week, I spoke of being stuck in Psalm 27. My heart and mind has been in so many places that it was, and will still be, hard to articulate. Though I know the value of writing things down, I haven’t slowed down with my thoughts as school—both with my “big kids” and my […]

Fossil Rim Wildlife Center
I will hopefully post my weekly wrap-up on tomorrow, but in the meantime, I wanted to share the amazing trip we had to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, Texas. For a little over $50 for the five of us (including a bag of animal food), this was the closest to Africa we might ever get, […]

So Like Us
Leftovers for breakfast today—whole wheat biscuits, with a peach-banana smoothie to compliment. It felt good not to cook, and I’m really trying to save all my energy to pull the weeds that summer and several weeks of rain have wrought. Perhaps towards the month’s end, we’ll put down winter mulch and get the trees fertilized, […]
The how, where, what, when and who tag
It’s been a while since I’ve been tagged for anything; it seems as if that season of tags and awards came and left, and I write that with mixed emotions. Yes, the tags could be cumbersome at times, and the awards felt almost like a chain letter, but I like to believe that each […]

A Day in the Life of a Laptop
Several Saturday mornings ago, I watched our family go about its day, laptop in tow. We are prime candidates for an unplugged makeover, largely because of our jobs and the kids’ interaction with the missionaries they met last summer. As I watched, I couldn’t help but think about how our day might look–from the laptop’s perspective. […]
