Finances are tight here and I signed up for the affiliate program with Amazon, where I get a small cut if people buy products I link to (or anything else, once they enter through my link). If you shop on Amazon and don’t already enter through someone else’s links, I’d certainly appreciate if you’d click [...]

It has been oppressively hot upstairs in our house lately, where I unfortunately sleep, write and blog. Hence, I’ve been spending a lot of time downstairs and off the computer. Tonight we finally had a nice storm that cooled the world down a bit and finally brought a breeze. While it’s under 100, I figured [...]

Last week I was the grateful recipient of not one but two blog awards from two fabulous HS mothers I greatly admire. In true blog award form, they came with instructions on how to properly respond and pass it on. So I went to work compiling two lists of blogs I love, 10 words to [...]

One of those was Walmart, and they were having back to school sales so I stocked up on markers, composition books, glue and such.

Egads, life gets busy with the pageant and summer craziness! I keep meaning to finish this algebra curriculum I’m reviewing and days pass between times we get to it. It’s a shame, since Jack was rocking at it and I really need to hurry and post the review, but summer is so chaotic. What happened [...]

We got back last night from Mankato and now are off to Tiffany’s for 5 days! I’ll try to check in from there and report on what we do. I’m thinking it will mostly involve drinking tea, chatting, and letting the children run wild.

I had an especially bad migraine today and got very little done. I did manage to write up an article about the conference the girls went to yesterday and also finally wrote up the electric griddle craft I mentioned last week. Oh yes, and an article about the rest of the story with the recent [...]

The good: My kids are all taking turns on their backs under my dining room table, coloring their own version of the Sistine Chapel in honor of Michelangelo’s birthday. Even Alex got in on it and triumphantly stuck his art to the fridge. I put more fun stuff here if you want to get [...]
