Wednesdays with Words: Hanging Around Words
Another quote I collected from convention, this one referred to by Dr. Perrin in his talk on Latin. It fits beautifully with Wednesdays with Words and the idea Cindy originally began the linkup with … loving words and the fascinating ways they can be put together. I’m not saying loving words makes one a poet…
Keeping Company: Convention Notebooks
I wrote some about my convention notebook before in my HS Essentials Post. I thought I’d share more details about it for the Keeping Company in April I do love keeping this notebook year by year. I refer to it when determining talks I wish to attend. Many of the speakers present the same lectures…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for April 20, 2015
For Today… April 13, 2015 Outside my window… it is that blue, not quite black of te start of night. I am thinking… that starting lessons up again is hard but worthwhile. I am thankful… for the ladies in my church. For my friend who kindly watches my kids when I have dental work done and pray for me….
Dawn and Heather Read Together: Own Your Life (Chapter 2)
This post is late because I was afraid of the topic after I read the epigraph from Leonardo da Vinci: You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself … the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment … And…

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….
So tired, brain hurts, but here are the big ideas I promised
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…
HS Conference Essentials
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. Heather and I went when it was at a multi-campus church and several years together at the Duke Energy Center. I’ve gone the last…
Dawn and Heather Read Together: Own Your Life, Ch 1 Heroes
I’ve never loved the concept of heroes. I’ve never wanted to be a hero, nor really “had” heroes. Well, maybe Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew, but not the Superhero kind and not the so-and-so can do no wrong, I want to be just like that person, kind. I like to pick and choose. There have…
