Okay, so I am officially starting homeschool with the kiddos this coming Monday (4/20/09). Yikes! Actually, I’m feeling pretty ok about it. Got the schedule all sorted out. See? What, you can’t read that? Well, click on it and it will take you to the bigger version. For term study this time we are doing [...]
Every year on Good Friday, our church holds a special service that goes through Jesus’ dying words on the cross and reminds us of his death and resurrection. Seven candles are set up and after a reading of each section of what Jesus said, three verses of a very long song (21 verses) are sung, [...]
Ever wondered what happens when your four year old does your hair? When I was pregnant with Henry last year I spent several months on the couch trying really hard not to vomit, and Kyra decided that good Mommy and Kyra time would involve her sitting on the arm of the couch right by my [...]
It is frustrating, you know. Like many careers that leave employees frustrated, Mothering involves many mindless jobs that repeat themselves day after day only to be undone and redone again the next day.

She’s been asking me to start doing school with her ever since her nap schedule dropped from every day to every other day a few months ago, and as I was browsing through my computer stuff today I discovered a whole stash of old alphabet [...]
Well, this week we are practicing our epidemiology lesson. If, say, a baby boy gets sick and feels so lousy that he wants his Mother to hold and comfort him while he coughs germs all over her face for several days in a row, she will undoubtedly get sick. This was the premise of last [...]
Wow, who would have thought? Apparently a new book has come out detailing a shocking new way for women to be happier, use their big old brains, and solidify their place in life. And that would be by….. staying at home supporting their husband in his work. And who do they hold up as the [...]
I came across this website today called Fat Girl Gets Fit and am rather impressed. It’s a completely simple concept, but the lady has done a really nice job with it. She’s got her original and current stats plus a graph to chart her weight loss all visible on the sidebar plus a bunch of [...]
to your 10 year old… “No Georgie, I do not know how to make an electromagnet.” That was the result of his reading this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and to your 3 year old… “No Faithy, you may not get a tatoo!” in response to her post-communion wine proclamation on Sunday: “I want a tatoo!” Maybe that’s why [...]
