(in)RL: Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
I love conferences. Last weekend we attended the Great Homeschool Convention and I'll be at Photoshop World in two weeks. Later this year I'll go to my high school reunion, our annual (in)courage authors' retreat, and Allume. As much as I enjoy these opportunities to...
Our Delightfully Nerdy Weekend at the Great Homeschool Convention
My husband and six of our children just spent three blissfully nerdy days in Greenville, SC, at the Great Homeschool Convention. In the early years of our (currently) 21-year homeschooling journey, I attended conferences to hear the speakers; for the next few years...
Big Discounts for Photoshop World in Atlanta!
I've attended Photoshop World four times: twice in Las Vegas, once in Orlando, and once in Washington, DC. The conferences served as not only a total creative high, but a great first visit to these cities (of course the second PSW in Vegas was my second visit). As...
When Sharing Your Home is an Act of Reckless Optimism Today at (in)courage
I wrote today's (in)courage post after our house flooded, but before our new floors were installed. It would have posted in February, but I wanted to post about snow in the South instead, so I saved it for March (and now you know why it sounds like our floors haven't...
March’s Downloadable Desktop Calendar
Are you surprised? I'm posting your desktop calendar on March 1 and it actually says March 2014 on it with the correct number of days in the month! This is impressive considering I can figure out every possible way to mess up a desktop calendar without realizing it...
Ready for Our New Floors!
The rest of the world calls this Valentine's Day, but this year I call it Day One of our flooring renovation. If you've followed our progress, you'll see that we're at a more organized level of chaos now as we try to move furniture and boxes ahead of and around the...
Why We Need Our Marriage Stories
I don't blog much about marriage, although not intentionally—my two most popular posts last year were Movies for Date Nights at Home and 5 Ways to Nurture Your Man and Your Marriage, published the week of Valentine's Day—but I left Fawn Weaver's Atlanta book signing...
Pulling Up Our Old Floors and What We’ve Chosen to Replace Them
This is the second post about our unexpected home renovation (here's the first). Many across the South are dealing with burst pipes and repairs of their own; I hope our experience helps others. After sopping up the gallons of water that flooded our home, it...
Why We’ve Chosen this Educational Path
My friend Tsh Oxenreider releases a new book into the world this week, Notes from a Blue Bike: The Art of Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World. Today I join the Blue Bike Blog Tour to talk about the path we've chosen for our children's education, one of the ways...
Join Me Today at (in)courage
Churches, home-improvement and grocery stores, and perfect strangers housed stranded motorists last week as unexpected snow rocked the South. Hotels opened their lobbies when no vacancies remained. Truckers welcomed drivers into their cabs for warmth when cars,...
