Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

My Friday Favorite to share with you this week is what we call our Grandma Bettie Wall of Fame.  But you know me, there’s always a story. If it’s true that you can really know the character of a person by the company they keep, then I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my…

     As I mentioned recently, I have needed, for some time, to get back into reading on a regular basis.  Homeschooling moms, especially, need to be careful to put a little fuel back into the mental tank that we so freely give from.  I know, for myself, that when I read on a wide variety…

Extras.  Homeschooling Extras.  You know, the stuff you really, really want to do with your kids, but there’s never quite enough time to fit it all in.  And if you do find the time to fit it all in, how do you develop a system for including it regularly?  Every family is different, of course,…

There’s a lot said these days about modesty.  What comprises modest dress and what does not?  I have my opinions on modest dress, of course; but I don’t want to talk about clothing today.  Modesty is far more than how we adorn ourselves. Modest behavior in our young people is almost a thing of the…

I’m still here, but I’ve been very busy taking care of my home and family.  Dani is at her sister’s house this afternoon.  Corin, as most of you know, is expecting her fourth child.  On top of normal pregnancy nausea, she’s experiencing a very bad migraine headache today.  Dani is there to watch the three…

I’ve just a few things to show this week.  The one Christmas project I’ve completed turned out great, and I’m hoping the recipient will be pleased as well.  Here are my non-Christmas gift projects from this week. I finally made my own fall apron!  I made the one for the drawing weeks ago, but mine has…

It’s Thursday already!!  Sometimes the days (and weeks!!) seem to fly by.  My header mentions that here on this blog I’ll be sharing bits and pieces of my days. That’s what I have today – bits and pieces. Copper’s not feeling well.  He went to work anyway.  I hope that my sons understand the work…

I think that it might really and truly be fall here. Finally!!!

You will always find encouragement here for keeping a tidy home.  I will always be first in line to tell you the importance of having a household cleaning/maintenance schedule and sticking to that schedule. However, I am a fallible woman.  I am not perfect, and neither is my home.  Oh, my intentions are good.  They’re…

Signs of the season.  Laying up hay for the coming winter months.  Here’s Copper headed out to cut the fall hay. LOL!!!  Don’t we wish!!!  Nah, just so happened that that piece of harvesting equipment was rolling down the road just as I was out snapping pictures of our “real” haying.  We are not able…
