BFS – Plop, plop, Fizz, fizz; Oh, What a Relief It Is!

Posted in Family, Fun, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Assignment: This would be a good week to tell about your worst struggles with a lifestyle of homeschooling. Tell about something you’ve struggled with and how God’s mercies gave us the strength to get past it. Also, share any curriculum/homeschool methods that have been a relief to you, i.e., a particular Teacher’s Manual or Homeschooling method that’s been easier for your family.

The Storm Has Passed

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

We are happy to report that the storm has passed. The sun is finally peeking through the clouds, and the rain has stopped. The roof of our gazebo/screen room was torn to pieces, a tree broke, and there is debris all over the yard. But, it wasn’t as bad as what they expected.
