Desert Graffiti

Posted in Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

Project 365 – #239 Today, we headed out to do a little exploring in the Picacho Peak area.  During our drive, we came across a large area covered by some unique desert graffiti.  (This picture is an extremely small sampling of the graffiti area.)  The great thing about this graffiti is that it doesn’t damage the area.  In fact, this display actually uses the natural surroundings to create the graffiti.  We had heard about this area (and D had seen it from the air), but we’d never been to the desert graffiti location.  It was fun seeing all the creative…

A Little Bit of Country…

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #237 While I grew up in the city, I’m definitely a country girl at heart.  I love being outdoors (well, when it’s not super hot or super cold), and I dream of having a nice piece of land on which to homestead.  I love exploring God’s creation and seeing His hands on everything around me.  Hiking, camping, biking, fishing…  Yep, I enjoy it.  I’m grateful that even though I grew up in the city I had the opportunity to develop a love of nature thanks to various trips with my family and youth group.

Christopher Columbus Lapbook and Notebook Study

Posted in Homeschooling

My blogging friend Rodna over at Training Children up for Christ asks me if I had a lapbook study on Christopher Columbus.  It was said a bit tongue in cheek as she didn’t really expect the answer to be yes.  (We were talking about the Little House lapbook series that I had done.)  Well, it just so happened that I had made one up a couple of years ago (or so), but I had never got around to preparing it for posting on my blog like I had done with the Little House lapbooks and other lapbooks.  (There are several…
