I have had the feeling I’ve been forgetting something for at least the past week (I forget exactly). And sometimes I’ll remember one of the things I’ve forgotten, but there’s always something else lurking in the shadows of my mind. What I need is a Rememberall, but like Neville, I’d still be unable to remember […]
Next year, my oldest child will be in 8th grade, which means I have one year to prepare to homeschool a high school student. Homeschooling through high school brings up all sorts of anxieties, not only because of the challenges of high school, but because you also have to prepare both your child for college–mentally, […]
Tomorrow morning will be the peak viewing time for the Lyrids meteor shower, named because these meteors appear in the Lyra constellation. It happens every year in late April when the earth passes through the tail of the Comet Thatcher. Because the moon is full, the Lyrids may be difficult to see, but moonset in […]
This has been a hard, painful week, and what we need is some laughter and some joy. So here is my contribution. Share your own and pass it on. And hug some people today. Side hug, if you need to. A cat on a roomba, dressed as a shark, chasing a duckling. Yeah, you […]
Today is the last day of our fine arts co-op, and we won’t be doing it again next year. For the past two years, we’ve attended two different co-ops dedicated to studying fine arts in a manner consistent with Charlotte Mason’s philosophy.

Yesterday, my heart was too full for the frivolity and fun of links. My prayers are with the families of little Martin Richard, Krystal Campbell, and the other as yet unnamed victim Lu Lingzi, as well as all of the injured and their families. As awful as it is at a time like this, it’s […]
America is an incredibly diverse country, both geographically and in culture and beliefs. But we are also a united country, as reflected in our name The United States of America. Yesterday, when our country was attacked in the Cradle of Liberty, we became united in our pain and our pride. Yesterday, our Boston was hurt. […]
To mark the occasion, I give you a post to help ease the pain. At least they can’t tax laughter. Yet. “Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.” ― Benjamin Franklin “Alexander Hamilton started the U.S. Treasury with nothing and that was the closest our country has ever been to being […]
We’ve been camping with our Cub Scout Pack this week and we took along our odd assortment of telescopes and binoculars to do some stargazing while we’re away from the light pollution of the metropolitan area. We are amateur astronomers. And by that I mean, we take our telescope out once a month or so–more […]
