After being given a pendant nest my girls were challenged to find out what bird built the nest. A couple days ago during homeschool club, a good friend of ours, who knows of my girls' interest in birds (and that we've been studying birds for the last few months), presented Jerah and Joely with a […]
A Kitchen Tool We Actually Use Every Day!
How many times have you purchased some new kitchen gadget, only to find it tucked away in the back of your utensil drawer, unused after a year. I have a few kitchen tools like that, but there's one tool that I bought and have used almost every day since I purchased it: bamboo tongs. My […]
Menu Plan: Week of January 5
Menu plans for the week of January 5 do not include visitors. We've had company since Christmas Eve — first my family, and then Jeff's — and the last visitors left this afternoon. So now the house is quiet, a little emptier, and I can now contemplate a return to our normal routine, such as […]
My Philosophy of Education (Explained Through Quotes)
My philosophy of eduction for our homeschool experience can be supported by various quotes from others as they share our viewpoints. As a homeschooling family, we spend a great deal of time thinking about education and learning. But I would still probably find it pretty difficult to sit down and write out my philosophy […]
Menu Plan Monday: Week of December 15
The menu plan for this Monday received a lot of help. Tonight was our church's Christmas dinner, and we brought home a lot of leftovers, so lunch and dinner is taken care of for at least a day. Here's what I have planned for the rest of the week. Monday: Christmas dinner leftovers (meatballs and […]
North Texas Pumpkin Bread
I made pumpkin bread from scratch for the first time this afternoon. I was planning to use this recipe straight out, but due to a white flour and ground cloves shortage in my otherwise well-stocked pantry, I had to make a few changes. And since I was making some substitutions, I decided to read through […]
How to Save Money on Health Insurance
We are a family living without health insurance and doing just fine! In fact, I'm very happy that my family doesn't have health insurance. No, we're not crazy. On the contrary. I think we made a very smart, financial decision when we dropped our health insurance coverage. Why? Because our health care costs are now […]

Positive Post Tuesday: Working Together
Siblings working to gether for a common goal without arguing is a sight to bless a parent's heart. Siblings don't always get along together. In fact, sibling rivalry is one of the most frustrating realities of parenthood. If you have kids, you know what I mean. But this last week I observed my two girls […]
Menu Plan: Week of December 8
I haven't made a menu plan in a little while. But I figure since we aren't homeschooling in December, I don't have an excuse for not planning and making meals this month. Although my pantry is a little bare at the moment — although I do apparently have a lot of tomato products in the […]
