As you are all certainly aware, I was at the Cincinnati Great Homeschool Convention over the weekend. It was so good and my mind is still a bit full from the words I heard. I could certainly fill up this post with al kinds of words and quotes, but one of my favorites was a…
For Today… April 13, 2015 Outside my window… the sun is rising, the birds are singing, spring is springing. We have one lonely daffodil blooming. I am thinking… about the conference this weekend and the amazing things I learned and the wonderful people I met. I am thankful… that my husband affords me the time to attend….
I had a great weekend at the Cincinnati Homeschool Convention! I met Karen from living, unabridged and she is awesome! I could have talked with her a great deal more than we did and wish we lived closer. That’s saying a great deal for two introverts like us. Me and @karenunabridged at @HSConvention Yay! A…
I’m in Cincinnati today, but thought I’d post about what I consider the essentials for attending one of the GHC conventions. I’ve been attending this particular convention for probably 8 years.

For Today… April 6, 2015 Outside my window… it is a dark and stormy night. I am thinking… about spring activities for my kiddos. I am thankful… that soccer was canceled tonight because two of the children are sick and I didn’t want to have to figure out how to take just one while Jason had a…
Many moons ago, not very far from me, I had a wonderful friend who had two toddler/ preschoolers and a six-month old. I had a newborn. We went to the same church and my husband and I moved to a home in the same town where this young mom lived. I planned to homeschool. She…
