Turns out, Stellan really likes food. Imagine that. I couldn’t resist the shirt. In a typical world, it means something far different than he it might be viewed in ours. No, I’m not pregnant. He has a rough life. A bird has built her nest in my potted begonia. A Google search left me just […]
Stellan Wyatt: 6 Months
Stellan Wyatt is six months old this week. He’s been sitting unassisted for a month and a half – by far my earliest to accomplish this feat. Our home scale announces he weighs 18.2 lbs, he wears size 12 month clothes, and he got his first haircut last Saturday – just a smidge to trim the […]
When it rains…
It pours. Oh my, did it pour. We got three and a half inches of rain in about three hours. It started raining about 7:00 am and by 8:00 am, our basement, rock/gravel/dirt that it is, was taking on water in massive quantity. It is drained away again, but now it’s a muddy mess of gigantic proportions. […]
Men, Women, and the Written Word
About a year and a half ago, we added texting to our cell phone plan. Up to that point I had been using a simple little flip phone that was strictly for calling, but Blaine had been assigned an iPhone phone for his work and we ended up switching my phone to an Android smart […]
TOS Review: Heirloom Audio Productions
We’ve reviewed quite a few audio dramas from Heirloom Audio Productions, and we’ve loved them all. When another one came up for a possible review, this one titled Beric the Briton based on the book of the same name by the great G. A. Henty, we all cheered. I received the two-disc set along with access […]
My job.
Liberty mentioned, via passing conversation today, that she’ll be seventeen in four years. I kinda gulped. My baby! Pierce is four. His birth feels like yesterday. Four years is but a moment. It gave me pause, because the days seen so long, but the years are so, so short. I feel like I need to […]
TOS Review: ABeCeDarian
I’ve reviewed ABeCeDarian Company before, back in 2013 when my son Sterling and daughter Ruby were learning to read. When they offered up their reading program ABeCeDarian Interactive A Workbook and the Digital Teacher’s Manual – A to reviewers on the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew, I asked for the chance to try this with […]
It’s for the kids.
Blaine’s gone the first part of this week for work. I have to admit, I’m over it already. Single parenting stinks. Nursing is going somewhat better. Regardless, Stellan continues to grow. Pees. Poops. Carrying on… We were at a friend’s house tonight, left at 8pm, and decided to go for a walk on the local […]
Humidity, the Wrong Feet, and Stellan the Crank
Hello, humidity. Southwest Missouri in July is not my favorite time. I finally gave in this week and turned on the air conditioning. Dry heat, I can do. Even ridiculous heat, I can tolerate. But my floors were wet and slippery from the humidity accumulating on the still-cool from overnight floor. I could practically see the […]
TOS Review: Laurelwood Books
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew recently had the opportunity to review several selections from Laurelwood Books. As part of this review, I received one of the books from their Scripture Scribes series titled Men of Honor and Women of Grace. Since this level is for grades 7-12, I had Liberty, 13 and starting 8th grade this […]
