Thirteen Meals I'm Planning for May

As part of our "3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days" adventure, I've planned out 13 meals which I plan to make during May. So here's what's on our dinner menu—in no particular order:

Chicken/Rice/Veggie casserole

3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days

I'm fairly new to the blogging world, having begun this blog only 6 months ago, but in that time I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to peek into other people's homes to see how they live their lives.

Strangely, I was pretty excited about doing the dishes today, [...]

A Providential Email

I picked up an old edition of Saxon 76 several months ago for next to nothing, thinking that I could use it with Jaden. Unfortunately, although I posted a "want to buy" request on our local homeschool forum, and searched the internet for used copies, I couldn't find the corresponding answer key anywhere without having [...]

A Lost Addiction?

My husband has been wondering what all the talk about the TV series Lost has been about. Could the show really be that interesting?
So he decided to watch it for himself to see what all the hub-bub is about. He's watched probably half a dozen episodes online in the past couple days, and he's even [...]
