You’re invited to a Christmas blog decorating party!
Sisterlisa at Apples of Gold Ministries is hosting a Christmas blog decorating party. Submit a link on this post if you've decked your blog for Christmas. This is kind of fun for me since I got my diary girl all spruced up just in time for the Homeschool Blog Awards....
A Quote for Mothers
I came upon the following quote tonight. It truly blessed me and I was surprised when I saw the source. It is certainly as relevant today as when it was written: If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children..., we should have happier...
Thoughts on the Homeschool Blog Awards
Voting has begun for the Homeschool Blog Awards. When the nominations began, I never would have imagined the controversy that would ensue over two little words: family-friendly. Rule #9 on the nominations page states: If your blog violates the rules (no cussing, no...
The Drama Queen strikes again
Our guinea pig died last night. Our precious retired neighbors took our five youngest to eat breakfast with Santa this morning, so no one noticed in the rush to get them out the door at 8 a.m. (my husband realized it after they were gone). With a day full of...
