Ups and downs
Someone seems to have erased all the cookies on our computer and it took me 2 days to remember my user name and password for blogger – so I’ve had an extra long break from blogging. I’ve had some really big ups and really big downs in the past week and a half. However, dwelling on the ups is almost always better for a gal … Continue reading Ups and downs
Children’s Movies
This weekend, my husband took our boys, ages 7 and 11 to the movies. I was a bit surprised when my husband said he wanted to take the boys to see the new Jet Li movie “Fearless”. He loves karate movies and thought the kids would be interested since they have been taking karate for a while now. But the movie is rated PG-13 and … Continue reading Children’s Movies
The Wall of Taxonomy
Since my 11 year wants to be a herpetologist (reptile scientist), he decided he needed to get more serious about his science so we’re studying biology right now. We’ve been looking at taxonomy (the classification of living things) and I came up with a fun activity I thought I’d share with you. It’s basically just a worksheet on a wall, but my son enjoyed it. … Continue reading The Wall of Taxonomy
Since that last picture only took about 5 minutes to load . . .
I’ll share this sweet photo of little Sophia. Don’t ya just want to eat her up? 🙂 And no, I don’t ever put clothing on my children – we just let them run around naked like monkeys. It’s part of our homeschooling cult religion, you know! ;p J/K Continue reading Since that last picture only took about 5 minutes to load . . .

You know you’ve achieved full “Momhood” when . . .
– You go to the bathroom while holding a baby (bonus points if you were breastfeeding at the time). – You find yourself saying odd combinations of words like “don’t lick yogurt off the window”. – It occurs to you that if you kick your oldest child really, really hard you could have everyone in the house crying at the same time. – You yell … Continue reading You know you’ve achieved full “Momhood” when . . .

Ewwwwwwww!
Right now on the kitchen counter next to me is a small, smashed, sun-dried snake that my 11 year old found. What is wrong with boys? Yeesh! Continue reading Ewwwwwwww!
5 year old boys and “A Well Trained Mind”
Earlier today I was reading the very good “Crunch Cons” blog over at beliefnet and the author, Rod Dreher was responding to a reader question about preparing to homeschool his daughter in a few years (the child in question was under 1 year). Mr. Dreher responded first by explaining that he and his wife were no longer homeschooling their son who is now six. Then … Continue reading 5 year old boys and “A Well Trained Mind”
