Wednesdays with Words: I plan to come back and update
I have some thoughts from To Kill a Mockingbird … I plan to be back later. ‘);
The Simple Woman’s Daybook for January 23, 2016
For Today… Looking out my window … it’s still dark. I am thinking … about the coming school week and the reading I still need to accomplish. And the reading I need to do before my CM group meeting tonight. I am thankful … for likeminded friends who want to go to CiRCE’s Kindred Conference…
Our Weekly Amble for January 16-20, 2017
We had a pretty good week. Things weren’t as smooth as they were our first week – but frankly they never are. The first week, even though restarting routine has it’s challenges, they’re challenges everyone kind of wants to face. They’re starting back. They’re ready for days to be predictable again. The second week, it…
Hobbies and the Homeschool Mom
I’ve been writing a series for PamBarnhill.com about Hobbies and the Homeschool Mom. When I told Jason about it, he asked, “What’s your hobby?” And, frankly I don’t really have one. I’m a dilletante.

Our Weekly Amble for January 9-13, 2017
It was our first week back! [phew] We had a very productive week. A few struggles here and there, but when people are together all the time, you have to think they’ll rub each other wrongly from time to time. You just hope they don’t do so on purpose. Which, sadly, they do. So we…
Wednesdays with Words: Urgent and Important
More from Crazy Busy: Jesus knew the difference between urgent and important. He understood that all the good things he could do were not necessarily the things he ought to do. (pg 55) ‘);
Whatchamacallit 2017
Our 2017 Whatchamacallit looks remarkably like Whatchamacallit did at the end of 2016. The end of 2016, we made a few small changes from the beginning of 2016, including the name. A year ago we called our Morning Time ‘Circle Time.’ As I began working with moms who call it a variety of things, I…
