What a wonderful day! Olivia celebrated her First Communion. I was so proud of and happy for my girl. The weather I was not so happy about. It was 60 degrees and raining all day long. The temperatures are unheard of for this time of year. The rain was just a pain. There was a…
Sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot. It is a balmy morning on the back porch, and I can hear sprinkles starting on the awning. We have still been running cooler than normal in the temperature department — much too cool to swim yet. At some point summer will likely come on…

We have been doing Morning Time around these parts for a couple of months now, and I have to say that it has become my absolute favorite part of the school day. We have had some things that we do first thing in the morning all year long, so unofficially a kind of morning time…
I have a confession to make. I am a bit of a liturgical year failure. I want to acknowledge the cycle of feasts and fasting and celebrate the seasons, but honestly I really don’t get much of it done outside of Advent. Maybe it is our non-crafty ways, but I have been on a quest…
Olivia wanted to weigh-in on her favorite part of the trip. I wasn’t going to go to the homeschool convention this year. There were a number of reasons — one of which was the fact that I had kind of “been there, done that” — but in the end the opportunity presented itself, and I…
Wow, we have had our coldest weather all winter this week. Kind of nice, but I am really ready for spring. Around the HouseCleaning ladies came today. Man, can’t beat that with a stick. Regardless I still have things that need to be done and little time to do them. I think April is going…
I am pleased to be participating in Booking Across the USA, a collaborative project of over 50 bloggers who are sharing picture books and activities from every state. “Alabama the Beautiful” is a state tourism slogan from a few years ago, and Alabama certainly is that. From the white-sand beaches of the gulf to the…
We started our homeschool year great — better than we ever had, in fact. The kids were learning tons, making progress, we were having fun (the regular protests and groans notwithstanding). Then we hit Thanksgiving and lost our momentum. December dissolved into bouts with sickness and the holidays, and then January found me worn down…
Cold days this week. Loving my fireplace. Ready for spring. Around the HouseI got about ten bags of clothes sorted, three big bins of craft supplies sorted AND got all of the upstairs table cleaned off. Yay. Next step is to do some small decluttering (kitchen drawers, bathroom cabinets) and sell curriuculum. From the KitchenAnything…
