Homeschooling over the summer

As it turns out, we didn’t meet every deadline with school work this year. A tiny percentage of it was due to my disorganization; the majority of the reason we’re behind, though, is that it took DD about six months out of the school year to catch up with kids her age. She [...]

It’s over but just beginning

The surgery went perfectly. Because we don’t take blood transfusions, the doctor was extra careful and really took his time, which means a 4 hour surgery actually took closer to 6 1/2, but hey, whatever works!

Homeschool Tip of The Day

Okay, this may be the most basic tip ever, and probably something so obvious that it shouldn’t have taken me two years to do it. But since it did, I figured I’d share and try to prevent anyone else from some of the same frustrating moments I had.
The tip is this: When you [...]

Can’t stop to blog right now…

Okay, things are awfully quiet and boring around this blog lately, I know. There are several things I have on my camera that I need to upload here and blog about, including an entire bedroom redo with a stacked coin quilt and wall hanging…but right now, life’s not so good for our family, so [...]
