FOR TODAY Outside my window… it’s dark. Late.I am thinking… I should have done this earlier today, but better late than never.I am thankful… for a day off with my husband. In the kitchen… hidden in the pantry are some chocolate mint cookies. I should go get one.I am wearing… jeans and a black shirt….
Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi My rating: 3 of 5 stars Own. We have averaged our stars as a family. Some (the younger contingent) gave it 5 stars. The older gave it 1-2 stars. Overall, I think it was worth reading and many lessons were learned vicariously ( I hope). As a read aloud, it seemed…
Our week was weird. We didn’t do all the things I would like to accomplish, but I still think we had a good week. We did four days of Circle Time which gradually improved throughout the week – which had started off with me frustrated. Friday, we finished Packer’s Othello (M-girl was not a fan)…
Code of Silence by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. I would probably give this one 3.5 stars; I thought it was the weakest of the books. I still enjoyed it. It was less a mystery and more suspense. There was one particularly difficult scene. I had a much…

Mighty Acts Of God: A Family Bible Story Book by Starr Meade My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own. Probably should be 3.5 stars. We read this story Bible for family devotions. The stories were well selected and gathered. They were written at a level the children could understand without talking down to them. Sometimes…
Soooo … I suppose some of you might have been awaiting the rest of our schedule that I never posted weeks ago when I posted about our new year. Back in early January, I wrote about our Academic Year, our New Schedule and Circle Time. One major change to those posts is that we’re doing…
