The Simple Woman’ Daybook for February 28, 2011
FOR TODAY Monday, February 28, 2011 … Outside my window… it is cold (but not bitterly) and wet (but no longer thunderstorming as it did for *hours* last night). I am thinking… I’m going to try not to nap during Quiet Time today and maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep. I am thankful for……
Book Club: Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child : Let Cynicism Rule the Day
For Cindy’s Book Club … I’m very behind. There is so much in this chapter that I could identify with that it took me long past everyone else’s discussion to force my way through it. I knew, from the beginning of the chapter, that he was going to end with cynicism. I was given a…
Weekly Report Week 7: 2/21/2011-2/25/2011
Our week was somewhat up and down. Jason was home on Monday (love those bank holidays!) and we got a lot of lessons done. In the evening, M-girl wasn’t feeling very well, and woke Tuesday still feeling poorly, so we didn’t do school. Wednesday was back to getting it done. Friday, I wasn’t feeling well…

Book Review: Excellent Women by Barbara Pym

Weekly Report Week 6: 2/14/2011-2/18/2011
We had a good week (last) week. I shouldn’t have bragged about the no fighting ’cause we had some arguing about lessons … but worked through it. Friday was be-ea-utiful here, so we had a playing outside in the mud day. The kids had a great time. I had thought we might do some activities…
The Simple Woman’ Daybook for February 21, 2011
FOR TODAY February 21, 2011 … Outside my window… it is grey and rainy. And muddy. I am thinking… about yesterday’s sermon, “In our hearts we’re all Pharisees and all victims of Pharisaisms.” Pastor Kessler. I am thankful for… the truth being preached. From the learning rooms… sugar cube pyramids and Pyramid. From the kitchen……
Cluckembalmen: Week One
Jason says it looks like prosciutto … ew.
Audio Book Review: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization by Anthony Esolen
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Western Civilization by Anthony M. Esolen My rating: 4 of 5 stars Library. Blackstone Audio CD. I’ve been listening to this off and on since early January. I enjoyed it immensely. Esolen takes a strong view of Western Civilization as something to be preserved and cherished, despite its ups and…
