The Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew was asked to review the children’s hardcover board book Look Left, Look Right, Look Left Again from Greene Bark Press, Inc. A book designed to teach children how to safely cross the street while engaging the child’s interest in a fun story, I read this to all of my […]
Dyslexic Hearing. (Which, I’ve learned, is really possible!)
Charlotte just walked in the room saying, “Momma, I’m hungry. Can I have lunch?” (It’s 4:37 pm. Lunch is O.V.E.R.) She walked in right as I said to Liberty that I’m going to go through the toys and getting rid of a bunch. Charlie’s next question had me realizing I have a daughter who does […]
Scheduling changes.
Yesterday we finally wrapped up school at 5:45 pm. With most of our days looking like that so far this school year, my house has suffered. Blogging has suffered. Laundry has fallen behind. And I’m going crazy. This morning, knowing something had to change but still pondering on what, I typed up a schedule. I […]
Scattered.
Life is pretty mundane right now. My pregnancy is creeping toward 12 weeks, I’m starting to feel better but have started throwing up on occasion. Strange. My ultrasound showed just one baby, due mid-March. Exactly what I thought. It’s measuring a week or two bigger, but nothing enough to change dates. After two miscarriages, seeing […]
TOS Review: Doorposts
Liberty and I have had the privilege to review a Bible study book from Doorposts for ages 12 and up called Beauty in the Heart: A Study of Godly Beauty for Young Women as part of the Old Schoolhouse Magazine and their Review Crew. Liberty is just ten years old, a bit below the recommended […]
TOS Review: The Family Hope Center
As part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received a DVD titled Understanding Child Brain Development from The Family Hope Center. Sold through the Institute for Excellence in Writing, Matthew and Carol Newell offer this 2 hour 10 minute DVD of a short seminar as a offer of hope to anyone with a child […]
I have a dream.
I dream a LOT when I’m pregnant. I have no idea if I dream when I’m not, because I never remember them. But when I am… it’s bad. Last night, I dreamed I’d discovered this rare bug that stopped all other bugs from biting you. What I did with the bug, I’m not sure. But […]
Next time, remind me to think twice.
For two days last week, I made zucchini relish. In a moment of stupidity, I decided that all the zucchini in the kitchen needed to be used up, and relish was how it was going to go. Turns out, there was about 45 squash to deal with. And I’d just told my dear helpful daughter […]
When the days are hard.
When the day drags on, there’s supper to be made, and I am out of energy, I remember: this is more than a job. It’s a calling. When I tire of the world’s perspective that tells me I have too many children, not enough luxuries, and not enough money, I remember: these are souls I’m […]
TOS Review: Reading Kingdom
As part of the TOS Review Crew, I’ve received a one year subscription for Reading Kingdom for Liberty (10), Eden (8), Sterling (6), and Ruby (4, almost 5). I was curious how this would be for my older kids. According to Reading Kingdom’s website, it “teaches children 4-10 years old how to read and write […]
