On a forum I frequent there was recently a friendly debate over how people label themselves as homeschoolers. One party felt that semantics were very important and other parties should not claim to follow a philosophy unless they very specifically followed that philosophy. Others of us had more of a live-and-let-live attitude. The issue was…
I’ll let you in on a dirty little secret of mine. Whenever I tell someone that we homeschool I almost always follow quickly with an admission that I was once a teacher. As an introvert, I hate to get into conversations with strangers where I feel pressed to explain myself and my choices. So by…
A quick note as we have been celebrating Thomas’s birthday, and I am bone tired. The kids and I are studying US geography and would love to collect a postcard from every state. If you would be willing to send us one, we will send one back to you from Alabama in exchange. You can…

The beauty of digital is you can just “save as” any old layout and use it as a digital template. That is what I did with yesterday’s layout. This one took maybe 15 minutes to do. In his defense, Thomas is no worse a sleeper than John every was (or still is). Sometimes it feels…
Like yesterday’s page, this one is a scraplift from Real.Life.Scrapbooking. Needless to say the topic tonight came to me during a bedtime conversation.
