Adding Online Schooling to Our Homeschool Day

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

As Munchkin moves along in her education, I am finding that she enjoys more independent learning. While this is what we’ve been striving for during our journey, it comes with a different set of challenges. I find that I’m not as connected with the complete learning process, so I have to make a point to really talk to her and stay on top of her schoolwork to continue to gauge how she is doing and what approaches may need to be adjusted. We still work together on some subjects, but slowly, we’re moving away from doing work together and moving…

My Dogs’ Crazy Obsessions

Posted in Family, and Photography

Some dogs are obsessed with bones or meat. My dogs? Well, they’re obsessed with fruits and veggies. As soon as someone starts eating an apple, they come very close and start staring. They want that apple. If they see me peeling sweet potatoes, they go crazy. I use raw sweet potatoes as treats when they need to go to their crates. (They are crated when we leave the house for their safety and the safety of our house.) Squash, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus fruit… We have yet to see a veggie or fruit they didn’t like. Another obsession which isn’t quite…

I knew the perfect place could be on the way home from church. D just laughed at me. He knows how I am about pictures. lol! We ended up taking pictures on the back side of the main library.

A Simple Sunday Dinner

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, and Homemaking

We view Sunday as a day of worship, rest, and family time. Sunday mornings are spent worshiping and learning about our Savior, our Creator. Afternoons are spent relaxing as a family. Sometimes, we head out and do some exploring. Other times we watch a movie or play games. While the ideal is no work on Sundays, the reality is that sometimes D needs to work on a vehicle later in the day, but oddly, he usually finds that relaxing as well. Because we do view Sunday as a day of rest, I don’t cook elaborate meals on Sundays. Lunches are…

Up from the Grave He Arose!

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Up From the Grave He Arose by Robert Lowry, 1826-1899 Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior, waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain, and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior, vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o’er his foes; he arose a victor from the dark domain,…
