New Beginning

Today was my last day of work. I will miss working at the church office, but I also know that I am needed more at home at this time in my family’s life. Homeschooling will hopefully go into full swing starting next week. We are still waiting on some school books for Tommy. [...]

Cat Magnet

Our residence is a cat-magnet.  You know how a trailer park attracts tornados ?  Well, we’re like that.  We recently found homes for two of our cats, so we are down to four now…yay.  Less hairballs to clean, and no more poo on my desk.  (Sorry about using that word, I’ll try to be more careful [...]

Superbowl XLII

I’m not into football, but since the Superbowl is being held not too far from where we live, I thought I would share some pictures of our practically brand new stadium. When my dad was in the hospital we had to drive by the stadium everyday to visit him. I remember watching as they [...]

What websites do you visit? When did you know you would homeschool? What about testing? High school diplomas? What convinced you to homeschool? And [...]
