Blogger Friend School Assignment #1

Posted in Fun, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Question 1: Brief introduction into why I started blogging and my goals for journaling.I started blogging as a way to keep friends and family updated on how we were doing and what was going on in our lives. Blogging has become a method for me to journal and keep track of different things going on in our lives. I’m bad about actually writing in a journal, so blogging has become a fun way to journal. I would like to set up a mother/daughter journal where munchkin and I can write back and forth. I think it would be a wonderful…

Seasonal Delights

Posted in Thoughts

I had to do a quick post to let everyone know about a new online magazine that Kelli (and her husband) from There is No Place Like Home have put out. It’s called Seasonal Delights; it’s absolutely beautiful. You can subscribe here for free! It’s a quarterly magazine for “young ladies and their mothers”.

Those things which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and…

Monday Musings

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Whew!! What a day! It was one of those days that was filled with ups and downs. Munchkin is still sick, so that explains a lot of it. We started back up with school again today after our little delay last week due to her being really sick. Overall, that went well minus a few “glitches” from not feeling well. Munchkin has been really interested in learning more about formal tea parties, so we looked around for a tea set at some thrift stores. We didn’t have any luck. Then, I remembered that I had a box that had some…
