Homeschooling: To Budget or Not To Budget?

Posted in Homeschooling, and Photography

To budget or not to budget… that is the question for our homeschool this Monday morning. We’re in a unique situation for a military and homeschooling family.  We have an only child.  It’s definitely not the norm for either of these circles, but it is the norm for us.  We embraced the uniqueness of our family situation given to us by the Lord.  Being that we do have an only, we are able to spend more on schooling if necessary.  That being  said, I like to keep costs down as much as possible because we want to be good stewards…

The Sheep of His Pasture

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ~Psalm 100:3~ On Friday, as I was driving down to the road on my way to pick up Munchkin from the stables, I came upon a flock of sheep being moved from one location to the next. The “shepherds” and their dogs were guiding the sheep along and keeping them out of harms way. It reminded me of how the Lord is constantly looking out over us and guiding us in the right…

Brown Rice Couscous with Chicken Sausage

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Recently, we came across some brown rice couscous from Lundberg Farms at our local grocery store.  It’s been some time since we’ve had couscous, so we decided to go ahead and purchase a box.  It sat in our pantry for some time until one night when I needed something quick and easy to eat. I had some chicken sausage in the fridge that needed to be used, so I grabbed the box of couscous to use as a side.  We enjoy eating our chicken sausage with green peppers and onions.  While I cooked up the couscous, I sauteed the peppers…

Pieces of the Puzzle

Posted in Family, and Photography

Little did we know what a difference that short trip to the stables would make in our lives. Wednesday saw Munchkin begin her volunteer work at the stable with the plan that she’d only work a couple of hours two times a week until she got settled in.  That didn’t last very long as each day has seen a slightly longer day, and tomorrow (her third day this week) will be the longest day yet.  lol!  We now find ourselves trying to find a new balance with school, chores, and her volunteer work.  Shortly, we’ll also be adding in taking…

And the Volunteer Work Begins…

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Today was Munchkin’s first day at the therapeutic horse stables. Daddy woke her up when he got up this morning and dropped her off before he headed to work. She was rather tired as she’s a night owl like her mama, so she’s working on getting her body to adjust to this new schedule. She’s going to start off with a couple of hours (or so) a day two days a week until she sees how she does at the job, chores, and balancing school work. It was a training day, so she started to learn the basics of working…
