Wordy Wednesday: Pious Life with Well-Ordered Habits
I’ve been reading through Ravi Jain and Kevin Clark’s new book The Liberal Arts Tradition while sitting at basketball practices these last couple of months. I am enjoying it quite a bit – especially the parts I understand well which makes me more comfortable with the parts I *don’t* quite get. I already quoted it…
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for February 24, 2014
FOR TODAY Outside my window…it’s sunny, blue skies, and cold. Praising God…for the testimony at our church last night from a man visiting from the Dominican Republic where our church does an English Camp each summer. I am thinking…about starting lessons. Late. Again. I am thankful…that Jason and the children had a great time geocaching…
Weekly Report: February 17-21, 2014
It was a weird short-but-long week here. Jason had Monday “off”, so we try to do lighter days so we can see Daddy. He ended up working from home, but we still went very light. All we did was Latin – we started chapter 2 of Latin for Children. Jason had to use up some…

The Simple Woman’s Daybook for February 17, 2014
FOR TODAY Outside my window…I hear birds chirping and it seems warmer, but I don’t think it actually is. Praising God…for our church family. Sometimes being in a transient area is hard with friends moving in and out, but we are so thankful for the friends we’ve made who live and will live all over…
Weekly Report for February 10-14, 2014
We had three solid days of school this week. We had errands to run on Monday and they took almost all day. N-boy was sick on Thursday so we missed our Art with Friend Valentine’s Day party and watched Carmen Sandiego, Liberty’s Kids, Wild Kratts, and Magic School Bus all day. I was disappointed to…
