I came across a place called Especially Heather and started reading. This was a few weeks ago. I surfed from there to BooMama’s and read some more.
It was fun reading, so I returned another day. Much to my sadness, I learned on returning of this. On April 18th, I gave what little I could and […]

My 8-year-old daughter stopped eating her cereal this morning to make an announcement. 
“There’s something in Cinderella that doesn’t  make sense.”
I replied the way any mom would. “Oh, yeah?  What’s that?”
My daughter looked at me thoughtfully.  “Well, there’s a lot of things this person tries to do.  The little…ummm…  Well, I don’t think she’s a witch, […]

Today was an awesome day for a family reunion.  The weather was gorgeous.  I was in a good mood.  (That does help. )  The food was great.  But, hey, people in the south like to cook.

I was standing in the den looking at the books in the shelf.  The house was quiet.  I reached for a book when Tabby, my cat (aren’t we creative??), gave a big yawn from behind a pile of stuff!

I had not even see her there!  I took a picture so you can see how she blends in.  […]

I love my seed packet holder.  It is an old McCoy planter.  The seed packs stand in a perfect line in the planter, making it […]

I planted 10 Cleome Sparkler “Blush” seeds yesterday.  I ordered them last year, but never got them in the ground.  Last year the plant was listed as new, and I’d say I definitely paid for something new.  Those seeds were dog-gone expensive!!!  They better produce some beautiful plants!!
I don’t have a picture of the actual plant […]

As promised, I have written a review of Homeschoolopoly, the new game we ordered just last week.  We are a homeschooling family that plays a lot of games, so I was really looking forward to gettting this Monopoly-type game with a homeschool twist!  I was not disappointed!

The game pieces are really cute. My children determined […]

Yes, this is a very short wall, but it is still a wall.  We had gorgeous weather today, so I completed the wall.

I think it turned out pretty well. I definitely learned from this project. The corners were not too hard to do, but I learned a thing or two about uneven surfaces. Cement and […]
