Recommitted to the abnormal (at least for me)
Have you ever heard of the saying, “I try to take one day at a time, but lately several days have attacked me at once?” Man, am I living it these last few days! We returned from our break with a fair amount of normalcy, but then… Friday: field trip to the area […]
Monday already?
Where does the time go? Eclectic education was right; by the time I finished the pre-spring break post talking about the toddler and how to handle her schooling for next year, I had worked myself into an anxious wreck about all that wasn’t happening with school. That’s why the Bible tells us to mind our […]
How long does it take?
I am not sure who is the original author of this article, but I posted it from another loop. It touches on an issue that is often discussed among those who haven’t homeschooled long, and it almost always pops up when you’re discussing (or justifying, dependent upon how you look at it) what a […]
Ready for a break
Whew! We’re taking a break along with the public school kids next week since all of our normal extracurricular activities are cancelled. With the kids’ dance schedule, we’ve not had much of an opportunity to travel with Dad this year. So I’m looking forward to freeing us from our schedule a bit and getting on […]
Amazing Grace
We saw “Amazing Grace”, the story of Christian abolitionist William Wilberforce, on yesterday. We had just completed a brief study on him during history, so the timing of the movie release was perfect for us. Before I share what else is on my mind, let me say that I’ve decided to go the DVD route […]
The One Thing that is Needful
This story was sad, but in light of what I and what each of you who homeschool do every day, it was a reminder about the ‘one thing that is needful.’ Though the media put a more secular spin on the tragedy, focusing on the weather and emergency response time, what I picked up on […]

Divine Pruning
On Sunday, the Lord sent a gorgeous preview of spring. Given the unusually cold winter, we had a yard full of dried-up, sunburned, frozen weeds and twigs that were once a beautiful flower bed. My husband got out to cut the grass, and I decided to get out back and trim all the deadness from […]
Where Are We Now?
We have about two weeks to go before our spring break, which is when I begin to think about progress before that year-end push to be academically at a certain place. I have to do it now as I fail at “springing ahead” once the time changes. It is then that my spring fever is […]
What I learned in 15 years
My husband and I celebrated 15 years of marriage on yesterday. You know what I learned? I’m a cheap date! (smile) We shared dinner, a movie, and ice cream– a rare treat since I started my low-carb, low-sugar diet last fall. We started the day with a long, uninterrupted talk (also a rare treat) about our goals and dreams […]
Special Relationships, Ready or Not
For those of you who think television is the root of all evil, you’ll find this post uninteresting and perhaps a bit beneath you, so God bless, and I’ll catch you some other time. I’m of the “watch responsibly” genre, so I keep the two TVs we have in very visible places and much of […]
