When offered the opportunity to review the Institute for Excellence in Writing as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew, I was thrilled. I reviewed Fix It! Grammar: Frog Prince or Just Deserts (Book 3) and received both the Student Book and the Teacher’s Manual.I chose Eden to work on this. Eden is 9 […]
Charlie
Tonight is Charlotte’s last night as a three year old… she’s just a wee bit excited.
Communion Sunday
Sundays are stressful days. My husband holds an office in our church, teaches Sunday school, and is generally MIA an unpredictable amount. Then, there’s communion. Our church serves communion twice a month, during which a tray looking something like this: containing 50 or so tiny cups of bright purple fluid gets passed down the pew […]

Co-op school photos are this week and next. Pierce’s are next week. Thankful. Riding on top of the Cozy Coupe: bad plan. The value of being two: he’s convinced it’s just dirt.

What they’re up to these days:
Ellie Adelaide now has two teeth. She’s six and a half months old, and enjoying chewing on any food she can get her fist on. The last few babies, I’ve not pureed anything for them, but given them lots of foods to feed themselves as they will. She loves it. She also loves gritting her […]
