My dear husband, when he gets fed up with a dripping nose during a cold, typically puts a stop(per) to it. We all laugh… it’s one of those things that makes me giggle every time he does it and smile, even as I type this. He’s been gone for four days on a business trip. […]
TOS Review: Kinder Cottage Publishing
Kinder Cottage Publishing has taken many older children’s books, edited them to update the English to what we understand today, and offered them in adorable little hardcover books. To review, I received The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Peter Rabbit at the Farm. Both titles are offered for just $4 each and, at five inches […]
This is the life.
Ruby asked Eden what “encouraging” means. “Encouraging is… if Liberty died, and you were all sad, and someone offered to help and told you it would be okay, that would be encouraging.” Eden’s sermon notes included “God has chosen the poor as errors…” Oh my. Heirs. Where does she get this stuff? I asked a […]
TOS Review: Learning Breakthrough Program
I’ve read A Life in Balance, a book of about 200 pages from Learning Breakthrough Program as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. It’s written by Frank Belgau (as told to Eric Belgau) and details Frank Belgau’s life in biography form as he works with kids who struggle with learning, then details what […]
An exercise regime I could have done without.
Today might just go down in history as the most physically hardest day in motherhood… ever or recently, I’m not sure. Our septic tank has been threatening. When we bought our house, we were told the septic was “a little small for the house size” Add eight people and it was bound to happen eventually […]
TOS Review: Progeny Press
The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew has been working on a review for Progeny Press for the last many weeks. As part of the review, I received two downloads to review, Little House in the Big Woods – The E-Guide for grades 3-5, and Uncle Jed’s Barbershop – E Guide for grades K-3. Both E-Guides are […]
Throwback Thursday
Going through old photos of the kids, these struck me. I took them in Pennsylvania before we moved, and they are some of my favorites. Sterling, age 2. His brother looks a wee bit like him, I think. Liberty, age five. She hasn’t changed so much… I think she looks the most like her current […]
TOS Review: Apologia Educational Ministries
As part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew, I’ve had the privilege these last two months to read and review Apologia Educational Ministries‘ What On Earth Can I Do? – a part of the What We Believe series. I received a Junior Notebooking Journal and the regular Notebooking Journal and the What On Earth Can I […]
birthdays, sleepovers, and too much lemonade
The girls had three friends over last night for a sleepover. Typically, the sleeping (or lack thereof) happens on the trampoline when they have friends over… but it rained. A bit of rearranging has seven little girls in that bedroom. My word, the giggling. It was still going on at midnight when I went to […]
Spectacularly chaotic.
The baby’s crying to be held. The two year old is crying – for reasons he doesn’t even know. The three year old is freaking out over a bug, the five year old doesn’t want to finish her milk. The six year old doesn’t like soggy cereal, and the nine year old just crossed a […]
