Living life homeschooling 3 boys and a girl spanning 12 years is never dull. Add in a hubby who works in the Agriculture industry with an unpredictable schedule and things can get chaotic pretty fast. But we make the best of it and try to maintain some sort of schedule.

Last week held a special treat. Hubby had Wednesday through Sunday off for our fair because he runs the tractor pull on Wednesday then decided to use up some vacation time. We were planning on leaving the boys at my parents Thursday and Friday night so that we could see the big tractor and truck
Inspiration took a different form this week. Our cat, the one we rescued as a kitten, became a mommy. She had 4 kittens a few days ago. So I thought I would share what has been all the rave our our house. She had been nesting somewhere outside but I prepared a box for her
Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was fun-filled yet relaxing. Among other things, I spent mine figuring out this thing they call sourdough and at least got it from the start of starter to fresh starter. Because mine is rye based, I am still working on how to get a good rise out of it

Wow. Today was one of the most disappointing days I have had in a long time. This morning I got a very matter -of-fact email that the portable dishwasher we weren’t able to pick up on Saturday went to someone else, despite my telling her I would be in touch on Wednesday to reschedule since

Today I am just thankful that God is guiding my steps and my heart. And I am thankful for awareness and friends perspectives! We have been struggling with some issues with my oldest son for about 4 years now that finally got diagnosed as sensory and fine motor delays. The diagnosis got brought on by
