Happy Holiday of Your Choice!
The leaves are changing and falling off the trees. The weather is turning crisp. Pumpkin Spice and Gingerbread lattes at your local Starbucks. And of course, the time for the perpetually offended to put on their holiday prune face. Let us begin with Thanksgiving, or as some think of it: the gluttonous celebration of oppression […]

The key to success: delegation
One of the most common questions any homeschooling mom of more than one kid gets is, “How do you juggle it all? What do you do with the other kids while you are working with one child?” And honestly, this is something I still struggle with. Despite my carefully laid out plans, schedules, charts, routines, […]

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month….
To all veterans of our military, thank you. In Flanders Field by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days […]

Well, for lots of reasons, some more important (to us) than others: for matters of faith, philosophy, understanding of how individuals learn, and personal choice. And sometimes just […]

The blog is not abandoned. We’re just in a busy season. And by busy, I mean 20 different directions at once and all my brain power is being used trying to maintain what little sanity I have left. But I may blog tomorrow, because this? This is definitely happening. You’ll find some other practical treatments […]

43 years
Today is my parent’s anniversary. In addition to being the most outstanding parents in the world, their marriage is one of the strongest, healthiest, best examples of a godly marriage that I have seen. I’ve been thinking of all the things I’ve learned from their marriage, mostly from watching them, but also from their kind […]

Tired after Tuesday
A variation on Terrible Tuesday, because yesterday was so jammed packed, I didn’t get to a simple link post. And I don’t have that many links! I also learned that in the year of our Lord 2011, some people are still unaware of the varied means of communication–emails, texts, phone, carrier pigeons– to let people […]

The Framework
On this day, 224 years ago, the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the Constitution of the United States of America. Happy Constitution Day! Read the whole thing, as the kids say. I’ve sampled the first two buy cialis generic you could try here and they are now friends. If you […]
