An introduction…

June 10, 2013 by Adrienne

After deep considerations (Not really. It was more of a spur of the moment thing. But I don’t regret opening my big mouth, so all’s good.) I invited my sister to contribute to my blog. She’s not me. Not. Even. Close. Really, not even close. I’m told we sound alike, but we don’t look so […]

TOS Review: Let’s Make a Web Page

June 3, 2013 by Adrienne

Liberty (age 9) and I got to use Let’s Make a Web Page from Motherboard Books for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew. I received the PDF download and Liberty and I worked through it together on the computer. Let’s Make a Web Page states that children under age 10 will need an adult alongside, […]

April 9, 2013 by Adrienne

Amazon has a $65 immersion blender for $19.99 right now. Ships free with Prime or orders over $25. My affiliate link is below. I just ordered one. I use these to make soap – I’ll order a backup for this price!

New and exciting: Purex Glitter

April 1, 2013 by Adrienne

Edited to add: April Fools! Purex set me up with one very funny joke. I can’t see all of your faces, but if they were anything like my husband’s when I told him about Purex Glitter – I wish I could have been there!  Purex will stick to glitter-free laundry detergent. Guess what Purex has […]

Horrible.

January 19, 2013 by Adrienne

Sterling is a horrible looker. Horrible. He comes to the house, upset, because he’d lost his glasses in the snow. Perfect. I pried the rest of the story out of him. He’d been playing in the snow, realized he was going to get snow on his glasses, so he took them off and, when he […]

I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.

January 16, 2013 by Adrienne

I’m a big fan of language. Proper English and spelling are requirements in my home school. Last week Liberty’s English had her studying possessive nouns and pronouns and I drove a point home. “Possessive pronouns never have apostrophes. Never. Ever. Ever. Do not ever, ever put an apostrophe in hers, his, ours, its… The contractions […]

Please. Don’t make me yell this.

December 18, 2012 by Adrienne

Last Saturday, I was introduced to a delightful lady who told many stories of the years past, raising her own children. She led a fascinating life, and we had a great visit. As she was leaving, she rubbed my belly and told me how blessed I was to have another one coming. I grimaced, unsure […]

Ruby.

November 30, 2012 by Adrienne

As we were driving past a yard with a freshly removed tree down the road from our house, the discussion began on the reasons for cutting down a tree that had appeared perfectly healthy. Explaining things are not always as they seem, and the health of the tree was likely not good, Ruby had a […]
