Making Creation Our Classroom

Posted in Christian Life, Family, Homeschooling, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #231 As you can probably tell, we love to make the Lord’s Creation our classroom.  There is something wonderful about learning outdoors surrounded by the beauty and wonder of nature.  Often, we’ll research the area where we will be exploring prior to heading out – especially when we’re going somewhere like the Grand Canyon.  We try to have books and other research material available for reading.  Munchkin likes to carry a nature/wildlife guide with her, so she can look things up during our hikes. The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is…

It’s Time to Clear the Clutter

Posted in Homemaking

Project 365 – #230 These last two weeks, Munchkin and I have really been focusing on getting control of some of the clutter that has taken over different areas of our home.  The first thing to get tackled was the master bedroom closet.  This clutter battle spurred D to go through his old clothes and what not.  We ended up with several boxes/bags to donate.  (We won’t even discuss how many bags of trash left the house….)  Munchkin was motivated by our cleaning, so she’s been clearing out her room.  This is definitely a case of needing to win several…

Made for Me

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #229 Growing up, I never imagined that I would be married to an active duty Marine.  That wasn’t even remotely on my radar.  I always thought that I’d live close to family, and that my kids would grow up with my sister’s kids.  We’d have that perfect little house, and my kiddos would grow up doing activities with extended family. Becoming friends with D back in junior high would change my life (for the better) forever.  Even then, he was gung ho Marine Corps.  He loved the idea of serving his country as a Marine.  He and…

Nurturing a Gift

Posted in Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #228 One of the benefits of homeschooling is the opportunity to nurture gifts, talents, and passions in our kids.  Munchkin thoroughly enjoys drawing and animals.  As time passes, she’s started to narrow down her interest in animals to a passion about horses.  Today, she drew this picture of a horse, Man ‘O War, from the Black Stallion book series.  This is her vision of what he would have looked like.  I love watching her grow in her drawing skills.  She does not get these skills from me.  They definitely come from Daddy and his side of the…
