As a member of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew, I’ve been given the privilege to review The Hall of Doors series The Dragon’s Hoard by Rebecca Gillenland from Progeny Press this month. I also received and used the Hall of Doors: Dragon’s Hoard Study Guide. Liberty (9) and Eden (8) each used a copy of […]
Skip the self-control and use determination.
I work hard at teaching my children self-control. Since it’s a lifelong skill necessary for a Godly life, it’s a lesson I begin to teach early. Their first lesson in this is to be taught to stop crying on command. Each of them have learned this, some younger (and more readily)than others. Pierce has been […]
The story of us. Part 3.
Read part one here. Read part two here. Finally, my shell-shocked brand-new husband came around. And then… he jumped into action. We had to leave New Jersey. We had to move to a cheaper area. He called his brother in law from South Dakota and asked for a job with his construction company. Early December, […]
My three oldest kids went with friends for the evening. Charlotte and Ruby crashed on the couch at 6pm and haven’t moved since. Blaine’s at a meeting. Pierce and I got to just hang out, just the two of us, for hours. That was amazing. Turns out, he’s really, really funny and super affectionate with […]

Heavy thoughts for a Monday.
As I walked through a grocery store tonight, I ran into a friend. She also has six children. After commenting that we look an awful lot alike when it comes to family size and mentioning how people never fail to comment, we went our separate ways. Less than three seconds later, I was cornered by […]
The story of us. Part 2.
Read part one here. I stared at that little bottle of awful and shook my head. Surely not. Surely this is all for nothing, and I’ll have suffered without cause. October 21. I am SOOO tired. And late. I stopped to buy a pregnancy test on the way home on my boss’s suggestion. I spent […]
TOS Review: ABeCeDarian Company
As part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew, I’ve received the ABeCeDarian Company’s reading program to review. I received the student workbook and teacher’s manual A-1, the student workbook and teacher’s manual A-2, the student workbook and teacher’s manual B-1, the ten story books, and ABeCeDarian Aesop. From their website: “ABeCeDarian Company publishes and distributes […]
Snapshots: photos of Monday
A project in the making… A boy who found an open can of peanut butter and an open jar of jelly, climbed on up, and helped himself – deciding to skip the bread. Self-entertaining children. Realizing that the branch sways almost violently when someone swings, they decided to work together. Liberty got a free ride, […]
