So ... I finally got my school shelves cleaned out and organized for this year. Good thing, since we start school tomorrow!
I found a few things I won't be needing anymore. All prices include shipping. I can take PayPal or money orders. No reasonable offers refused!

In memory of those whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001 and those whose lives have been lost fighting for a safer world. Praying that God will comfort their loved ones and friends. Thank you to all the servicemen and women serving our country.

I believe this is a modern "twist" on the Bible verse found in Psalm 33:10:
"The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: He maketh the devices of the people of none effect."
It sure describes my summer! Remember my plan to continue homeschooling [...]
We school year-round ... but don't tell my children! They need an end date. They want to be able to tell their friends when their last day of school is. So I pick one. Usually it's the last Friday of May -- that way they get to be the first' [...]

Stellan is weighing heavily on my heart and mind today as he undergoes surgery. Please, please pray fervantly for him and his "McFamily".
I have been following Katherine Wolf's blog since the beginning. What an amazing Christian woman, wife, mother!! [...]
Well, since I can't seem to put together a "real" post, I decided to try my hand at a new-to-me meme -- Tasty Thursday! So new, in fact, that I don't even have any pictures ready to go with my recipe ... but believe me when I [...]
Let's just pretend that it hasn't been TWO MONTHS since I've blogged ... and since we're at it, let's also pretend that this is a real post, m'kay?
Executive Housewife has an excellent post on socialization ... from a totally different -- and totally true -- perspective![...]
I think Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday! Of course, as each one comes around I think that one is the best ... LOL!
However, Valentine's Day comes right in the middle of the dreariest month of the year. In my opinion, it is the only thing that [...]
The JAMES Challenge by Walk Slowly, Live Wildly
Who's gonna hold me accountable?
Who's gonna do it with me?

We, like many other homeschoolers, started back to school last week. I spent some time over the holidays pondering our schedule and curriculum ... and tweaking a few things.
Teaching Textbooks just wasn't working for us this year. The kids hated it, and claimed not to understand the new [...]
This is the year of "milestone" birthdays in our family ...
It's over. Christmas 2008 is in the books. Looking back over the last few days, it all seems like a blur ...
Here is the birthday cake for Jesus from Christmas Eve:
I think the Wii and WiiFit were the favorite gifts this year!

Aaaahhhhh .... the first day of our Christmas break! The biggest decisions I have to make today are ...
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Mostly wrapping paper ... too easy to peak with gift bags!
2. Real tree or Artificial? Real tree, complete with sap and needle showers.
3. When do you put up the tree? I like to wait until a weekend that it's snowing, but in [...]
This IS a homeschool blog, right? LOL! You wouldn't know it lately, would you? I thought it might be nice if I talked a bit about school this morning. Ahem.
We spent the month of October immersed in all things political. We learned about our election process in living color! [...]
Remember our new puppy I mentioned last week ...
Her name is Mercedes ...

It seems we have a very jealous dog named Eli ...
Isn't he cute?
Yep ... [...]

At least I almost did. No, actually did, but then I fixed it. Shew!!
See ... I thought I'd get my Photobucket pictures organized. I figured out (all by myself!) how I could organize my pictures into labeled albums instead of the [...]

Tasha had SEVEN of them!! They are sooo cute. We've been raising dogs for 15 years ... you'd think I'd get used to this -- but I never do! I get so excited with each new litter. :o)
I know this one is a bit [...]
There is so much I could say about this election season and its' results ... however, so many people have said it so much better than I ever could! I would encourage you to take a few minutes to read thru these posts. Be encouraged, be challenged, be proud to [...]
I know it's been pretty quiet around here again ... sigh. It seems that my heart and mind has been overflowing with all things election these past few weeks. To the point that even our main school focus has been politics, government, issues, and all things presidential -- with a [...]
Donna over at A Quiet Life hosts a weekly meme called Friday Five. Each week she posts five different questions so I thought I'd take a stab at it this week!

So ... shoes for a family of 7. Actually, SOME of our shoes! As many as would fit in one picture. None of my 19 year old daughter's shoes reside in this closet. None of my dress shoes. Nobody's slippers. No sandals. No flip flops. No roller [...]
I was challenged by Mary at Owlhaven who was challenged by Sara at A Shower of Roses to go to the picture files in my computer, find the 6th file folder, select the 6th picture, and post it! Here’s the moment I found, my baby girl having fun doing the [...]
I have been very focused lately ... except when the phone rings, or the computer dings -- does your computer do that? Mine talks to me! It dings when somebody I know comes on instant messenger ... when I get new mail ... when a tweeter [...]
