I'm proudly married to my best friend, an active duty US Marine. I'm happily taking care of our homestead and our ever growing entourage of animals. I enjoy writing, reading, cooking, crafting, diy projects, and various outdoor activities. It's all about enjoying the journey of life with my family.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6~
Most of us are pretty familiar with both Scrabble and the Rubik’s Cube, but have you heard of the Scruble Cube? No? Well, I hadn’t either until I was introduced to it through the Homeschool Crew. As soon as I saw it, I was intrigued, and I admit, a little intimidated. Hmmm….

I need to do some more work on the renewable energy study to make it more independent study friendly for Munchkin. I can’t say that she’s bummed to be starting the horse study sooner rather than later. She was blessed with some excellent horse resource books from Grandma, so she’s happily reading and studying.
