My baby is 6

Sweet, sweet Zoe Girl. I can’t believe she is already 6 years old. It doesn’t seem possible that 6 years ago today I became a mother. I feel privileged and blessed to be the mother of this sweet little girl. She fills our lives with smiles and laughter, her kindness and thoughtfulness is unending. I can’t [...]

Can’t make up my mind

Ok, I should have thought it through at the beginning, but since I didn’t I’m doing it now. If you care to keep up with what we are doing in the homeschool arena I am moving my current homeschool blog over to a blogspot blog. I will probably keep up with both for now until [...]

Quite Accomplished

Yes I feel quite accomplished today. We started the day off great with school, you can check it out here. We made homemade applesauce, I whipped up pizza for lunch, and threw together a stew for dinner and just finished baking a loaf of bread. It has been a great cooking day!

Go ahead eavesdrop

So it was one of those kind of days today. Crazy. I thought it would be fun to share the actual e-mails exchanged between Steven and I during the whole episodes. 
Steven:  ….Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngie……whutch ya doin?  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?Loooooove ya

 Me:  I’m just trying to SURVIVE over here.  It has been a CRAZY day. The kids have all [...]

Our new Pet

 We captured this little critter this morning and I promised the kiddo’s that we would keep him until daddy got home. I’m really just hoping he survives until then. For the full story visit  here.

Little man

I was sitting down reading a book- an actual book for me- today and Zack was sitting in front of me playing with his potato head and wearing this silly paper mask. I was overtaken with a mommy moment of how sweet he can be sometimes. I just love having this [...]

The next Billy Mays ?

It’s pretty funny really, Zoe is enamored with infomercials. She LOVES them, and she gets so excited while watching them, and if we don’t happen to be right there with her, she has to retell us the entire commercial. I was just sitting here on the computer and I was listening to her watch an [...]

Seriously??

This is amazing to me. I’m sure that the teachers that directed this had no idea what a media storm it would create in blog land. Think about the implications of this kind of indoctrination into these students lives.  If something like this ever occurred during a conservative reign of office there would [...]

Miss Money Bags

One of my sweet Zoe’s favorite things to do is to put things in envelopes for each of us and leave it under our pillow for us to find the next morning. Usually they have candy, stickers or some other kind of treat that she found. She stepped it up a little last night because [...]

Here I am

If there is anyone out there who is remotely trying to keep up with me/us, our internet has been in and out for the past two weeks, it basically only gives me enough power to occasionally download e-mail… for someone like me this is a KILLER! I have barely known what to do with myself- [...]
