    Here we are, just days from Christmas Day.  I’ve been slow in sharing with you the long-promised pictures of the decorations inside my home.  I have really enjoyed visiting all of you and seeing your lovely decorations for the holiday. About three or four years ago, I began collecting holiday nutcrackers.  Since my living room…

    I don’t remember if it was my mom or my dad that would use that phrase, “woulda, coulda, shoulda”.  It was said for all of those instances that would have turned out differently “if”.  “It would have been better if….”.  “It could have been done if…..”.  Not to mention, “I should have…..”.  Well, my friends, we’ve all been there and…

    Sewing my brains out.  That’s been my response to the questions, “How are you?”, and “What are you doing?” for the last couple of days.  I’m still having fun, but I’m busy, busy, busy!!  Homeschooling, laundry, etc., are still getting done as well, so my days are very, very full. I remembered last night the advice…

     ….I am afraid that I have two very silly daughters.  I goofed up last night and accidentally posted a blank post to my blog.  My daughters have had a field day in the comments section of my non-post.  Sometimes I wonder who raised those two! God bless you as you look well to the ways of…

         Christmas is approaching quickly, but I’ve been working steadily.  Much like the tortoise, I’m hoping to cross the finish line in fine style well before Christmas.       I’m having to make alterations to several patterns and that is time consuming as well as back breaking.  Of all the things I miss the most, a…

    Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but I like keeping the front of my fridge clutter-free.  From time to time my family will put things on the front of the fridge, but I always come along behind them to move them to more appropriate places. I allow the children’s art work to be hung on the…

         Corin tagged me with this Christmas meme.  Too fun!!  I won’t tag anyone outright to answer this, but if you do decide to do this on your own blog, let me know.  I’d LOVE to come read your answers! 1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Now that’s a tough one. Usually anything chocolate would…

    Today was the day that I was going to cut out all of the remaining sewing projects I have left to do for Christmas.  Guess what?  I had a wonderful interruption to that plan.  We received a call this morning from Copper’s aunt wondering if Copper’s Grandma could come and spend the day with us. …

        My friend, Lisa, e-mailed this quiz to me.  (Hey, Lisa – We both ended up as Honest Abe Homeschoolers!)   It was fun, and was surprisingly accurate.  I’m not a huge public library afficianado, and while I like Charlotte Mason I do disagree with some of her methods.  However, the part about having a Bible…

Got any book recommendations?
