Here's a little glimpse of how homeschool goes while mom is supposed to be resting with her feet up and gestating baby number three..... (don't ever say I haven't gotten nitty-gritty with the blogosphere, baby - this is the real deal): This is the mama 'nest'. Complete with lots of back support, lap...

Remember the LIST? And the Monthly BREAKDOWN of goals for January? Then the progress report for January? I never got around to breaking down the February goals for this year, but I have still been hard at work (big pregnant belly and all). I figure I'll go ahead and do my February progress report ea...

I'm in one of those seasons where blogging is on my mind, but I can't seem to find the time or energy to get to it. I'm constantly thinking about sharing tidbits of what is going on in these busy days, but somehow it just doesn't ever get blogged. Hate to miss these thoughts, events, and funny momen...

Seems like an eternity since I posted in here... even though it was last Friday. The weekend was a buzz of activity. This little bee is tuckered out. We had a scrapbooking night at our house for co-op (and got nothing much done besides brainstorming and making a mess), helped friends move (and ate l...

I have to apologize for neglecting the blog more than usual lately. I promise that I do have an excuse. Or a list of them. Which I feel guilty about listing because I'm so happy and thrilled to be having this baby. However... the difficulties that have been preventing blogging are spilling over in t...

My old schedule was pretty strict. I could count on one hand how many free hours were in the week (on weekdays). [poor kids] It was burning us out. I think I talked about that some in my 'why we're starting Charlotte Mason' post. So I'm doing a new thing this semester and the peace and weight lifted...

You'll have to forgive me WAY up front for my lack of energy to complete an articulate sentence tonight. I'm just sayin'. I'm a big bundle of backache and baby weight. It was a busy day. I couldn't find time any earlier today for posting my letter 'B' photo or even blogging random updates - so I'm t...

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all. ~ Sam Ewing Nothing like outdoor square footage to trip up the tax appraisers. This lovely, fully functional kitchen addition isn't taxable and doesn't come with a dish ...

Resolutions schmezolutions. I don't need no stinking resolutions. Lists are so much more fun. I'm all about list making (which you probably already know); so here's my BIG FAT list for 2009. I'm so excited to get it checked off that I'm going to make a shiny graphic button for it and link it on my s...

Technically the blogiversary isn't until June 8th, but it feels like 4 years already. There are times that blogging feels like a chore, and other times it feels like an outlet... sometimes it is fun and other times it feels more like a ball and chain. I fluctuate between the two often. My habit of w...
