Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

We all need a little pick-me-up from time to time.  Thanks to all of you, I’ve gotten just that!  One of you, my friends, nominated my blog for the Homeschool Blog Awards.  Copper’s Wife has been nominated in The Best Homemaking or Recipes Blog category.  I am blessed beyond measure!  Thank you. There are several…

I’ve not had a this and that post for awhile, but today is definitely a this and that sort of day!  Copper took advantage of the cool morning, and took care of our very large burn pile.  We accumulate quite a bit in the way of tree trimmings, etc., in the course of a year. …

     I am sure that to the outside world my life as a Christian wife, homeschooling mom, and homemaker seems to be a life full of dreary sameness.  Women who define their roles outside of Scripture just don’t get it, and I’m not sure that they ever will.  However, to be accused of having no…

I’m a Homeschooling Grandma. There are two ways that statement could be taken, and both apply to me! I’m a Grandma, but I’m still homeschooling two of my own children; and I’m a Grandma of homeschooled grandchildren.

     We’re celebrating Copper’s Dad’s birthday this evening.  I’m preparing dinner for 12, which is a ton of fun for me!  Besides the five of us, we’ll have Copper’s Dad and Meg (his wife), Corin and her husband and the three grandchildren!  I’ve just returned from town with fresh strawberries and greens for our salad.  I’ll be serving…

Brenda, at Coffee Tea Books and Me, has very kindly awarded me with a Thinking Blogger award.  I am very grateful to her.  I’m glad to know that what I am sharing here is keeping you on your toes, at least from time to time. This award is passed from blogger to blogger, and so it…
