Dear Miss Ellie is three and a half months old, grinning easily, laughing and cooing, and loves her feet. Never fail, she puts one leg up on the bar in front of her in the stroller. She kicks at the toys on her bouncy seat and thinks that’s hilarious. She loves her pacifier too. She […]
Elmer: the nursemaid.
Blaine found Elmer protecting our home with complete ferociousness the other morning. Kind of hard to take him seriously when he’s covered in kittens, I think.
Craziness.
Craziness. Life seems to go in spurts. Things are boring and normal for a while, and then life gets insane. The septic was fixed as of last Wednesday. Blaine got home Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, the septic backed up again. He got it going again, and so far, so good. Let me tell you, a […]
TOS Review: We Choose Virtue
For about seven weeks now, we’ve been starting our weekdays with We Choose Virtues. As part of a TOS Review, I received their Parenting Cards (a physical copy – I chose NIV, but they also offer a King James Old Testament-only format) and a file full of downloadable material as well – that included a Kids […]
TOS Review: Learning Palette
About a month and a half ago, I received a year’s subscription to LearningPalette.com from Learning Wrap ups as part of a review for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. I signed Ruby, age five and having just finished Kindergarten, and Sterling, age 7 and having just finished first grade, up. Both children worked in both Basic […]
Just like Daddy.
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 […]
