How to Create Your Own Instagallery
Remember our homemade magnetic chalkboard? Well, it turns out that it didn't erase well. I'm not sure if it was because I used chalkboard markers instead of regular chalk, or something to do with the surface—chalkboard paint over sheet metal—but whatever the cause, I...
Summa Cum Laude: With Highest Honors
Our oldest son graduated Summa Cum Laude from GA Military College Friday night. (He, along with many other students, was a non-cadet.) The path to graduation wasn't straight: a false start; a year off; a year working. He went back to school and got serious, but there...
Color or B&W?
Our homeschool group's year-end carnival was a fun event, complete with snow cones, funnel cakes, fried curly potatoes, hot dogs, popcorn, and cotton candy - YUM! Unfortunately, our old-style carnival required a lot of electricity, beyond the capabilities of the...
Camera Phone Friday
I'm going to catch heck if my kids see this week's collage: my youngest, who will be six in less than two weeks (HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?), is in five of twenty pictures. She's my little buddy and hangs out with me (and being next to my phone is a sure way to...

Date Night with Fandango and X-Men: First Class
My husband and I both score "Quality Time" as our highest Love Language, which translates into lots of date nights, either out or at home after we put the kids to bed. We love movies and I not-so-jokingly say that seeing a Friday night movie is "in my contract."...
Cooking Up a Family Barbecue with a Little Help from Nestlé
When the weather warms it's time to dust off the barbecue. My husband is king of the grill and cooks up some mean burgers and dogs. One of our favorite ways to offset the hot temperatures and finish off cook-outs is with ice cream. This weekend we picked up Nestle...
