Creative Writing

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Photography

Project 365 – #259 Back when Munchkin was in kindergarten, her teacher had them write a little each day.  Sometimes that would mean she would write a short, simple sentence.  Other days, that meant that she’d run out of time trying to write a story to go with her picture.  When Munchkin came home from school at the end of the year, our homeschooling adventure began.  I tried to move away from traditional schooling, but the one thing that I tried to continue was the daily writing.  We didn’t always achieve it, but it slowly became part of Munchkin’s normal…

Birds vs Monkeys!

Posted in Family

Project 365 – #258 Angry Birds – the little app that has become a phenomenon everywhere it seems – has invaded our house.  We have all 3 versions of Angry Birds on our Droid smartphones – Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio.  Truth be told, I don’t play Angry Birds that often.  **gasp**  You see, Munchkin has commandeered my phone for the playing of Angry Birds while Daddy plays Angry Birds on his phone.  They can often be found sharing notes, discussing different levels, and helping each other out with various levels. When we finally had the opportunity to watch…

Colors of the Rainbow

Project 365 – #257 And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in…

Sam’s Club Yoplait Snack Gift Card Giveaway

Posted in Reviews

Around here, we go through a massive number of yogurt cups.  D and Munchkin love their yogurt.  As Munchkin has gotten older, she’s moved away from many of the yogurts geared towards kids (Trix) and moved on to more of the adult varieties.  While D really likes fruit-on-the-bottom type yogurt, he’s quite happy with his Yoplait yogurt.  Every time we head over to Sam’s Club, he gets a pack.  (He’d get more than one large pack if I would allow him to do so, but our fridge only has so much space.  Those Sam’s Club packs do take up a…

Decorating with Bush Clippings?

Posted in Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #256 Last night was a crazy, tiring night, so I needed a little pick-me-up today.  Fresh flowers always seem to add a little light and life to a room, but I didn’t want to spend the money on purchasing flowers.  Then, I looked out my window and saw my flowering bushes that could use a bit of pruning.  I quickly grabbed my shears and headed out to trim off a few pieces of the flowering bush.  Once I brought them back inside, I made a cone out of cardboard paper to hold my new flowers.  I decided…
