Ok…confession time.
I LOVE crafts. I love to create, to put together, to see my own masterpiece come into being.
But really, I have no artistic talent. I couldn’t draw a straight line if my life depended on it. And really, I am not all that interested in true art…in paintings. The Smithsonian [...]

This weekend, I had 3 extra kids at the house. I am a huge fan of having friends over – my children are so much easier when they have friends around!! But the moment always comes….”Moooooom! We’re bored!” Awanas starts up again next week and we are ready! I love how much my children enjoy and learn from their time at the Awanas club meetings each week, and using it for Bible time causes us to set aside a regular “learning verses” time. Butterfly aged out of our Awanas last [...] In the spring of 1776, the Continental Congress had a hard decision to make. The colonies had been under British rule and the battles were raging. The Patriots were prepared to seperate from British authority, to declare their independence. The Loyalist said no. They saw the benefits to staying under British rule. The Patriots saw [...] As long as I am posting some fun webcam opportunities, here is one more. Africam is a website that links to live streaming wildlife cameras on game reserves in Africa. We have enjoyed watching elephants, leopards, hippos, baboons, zebras and even lions. My family gets so excited when we spot an animal. As big zoo visitors, [...] You can’t beat this deal!! Get your kids reading and jot down the books that they have read and then take them in to the bookstore to receive a free book. My family looks forward to this every summer. We love FREE and the fact that it is a book is a huge bonus. With 3 readers of very different levels in our home, I have embarked upon a new project. We happened upon this website recently and have had the best time watching this wild mama (Molly) barn owl nesting on her eggs (and hatchlings). In fact, last night we watched a baby hatch out of its egg and the daddy owl (McGee) bring a rat for the mama to eat. This is an amazing [...] I received this in my facebook today and felt it was too good, too timely not to pass along. From Finders-Keepers Educational Supply: The anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous speech could not come at a more appropriate time. As political lines are drawn and ideological fervor escalates, Americans are reexamining what liberty really means and which [...] Ok, really… I have not a bit of Irish in me…but my children do! And with a strong Irish last name, I get to lay claim to this mainly Irish holiday! It is so easy on this date to wrapped up in wearing green, searching for good luck shamrocks and pinching those not dressed to the [...] |
 I am a mom to 4, wife to my wonderful husband of 11 years and a teacher who has a passion for learning and sharing! I homeschool my children and cherish the opportunities to watch them learn and discover. I am excited about passing on ideas that I have and that I've found to make the journey of writing on our children's hearts easier and more fun along the way.  As our first child, our Butterfly is the fearless leader of the foursome - and she takes her job very seriously! She is 10 and is in 6th grade. Butterfly loves to read, sing, hang out with friends, read, play on the computer, read, cook, do crocheting and knitting projects, read and swim. Oh and did I mention that she LOVES to read?  Our fearless Lion is our second child, 8 years old and in 3rd grade. Created in God's image, we often see the Warrior side of God in our son and love watching that develop in him. Lion loves Legos, Star Wars, his bike, computer games, climbing and swimming.  Our little Ladybug is the little mommy of our family. She loves anything girly - dressing up, putting on "lips", doing her hair, singing, dancing, coloring, reading, playing with her dollies and mothering her siblings. Ladybug is 5 and is in Kindergarten. She lives life full of joy and was born with a song in her heart.  Bear is 2 and ready to take a big bite out of life. On the go as much as he is able, Bear is all boy! He loves his water table, balls, dogs, tools, his brother and sisters, books and dancing. Bear will eat anything that he can get his hands on...perhaps "Moose" would have been a better nickname for him. |
