Published by August 28th, 2008 in Home Schooling, Homemaking and Writing. 4 CommentsA new school year always sends me into a dither…juggling fifth and third graders and a very motivated preschooler means not verra much time for moi! Not to mention the whole housekeeping OR homeschooling dilemma!
But some good things have come of it…come see pics from our first day of school and read [...]
I promised Leticia I’d share this recipe here SOON, and figured I better get it done tonight, b/c my days have been FULL up getting in a school routine!
This enchilada recipe couldn’t be simpler…my only gripe is that it’s expensive to make. But believe me, it’s worth the splurge every so often! It came to [...]
It’s fun to tour other people’s homes, and just as fun to me is talking foods…as in, what are some of your family’s favorite main dish dinners?
Here are the “basic run-downs” for two of ours…fried chicken quesadillas and smothered steaks! I apologize that there aren’t exact ingredients…but that’s what these kind of dinners are all about! No [...]
Conflict of Passions
Published by August 21st, 2008 in Christianity, Home Schooling and Writing. 17 CommentsAre you struggling between two heart desires? Believe me, I have been there, done that and it’s not much fun.
For me, it began almost three years ago. You’ll remember many posts from me on the subject of my women’s fiction writing, and how easily I could lose myself in it–letting the children and housework fall [...]

Today started out slow for us, with [...]
Our Homeschooling Curriculum Favorites
Published by August 19th, 2008 in Home Schooling. 10 CommentsAll my lovely “first day” plans kind of went out the window, with last week’s bout of Poison Sumac–ick! You’ll all be glad to know that I’m so much better, in fact, well enough to go camping with friends this past Saturday/Sunday! I doubt I’ll take normal life and good health for granted for [...]
I just realized that I forgot to share this recipe with you all! It’s one of the scrumptious dishes my friend Jana spoiled us with during our June visit to her family’s home…shd doubled the recipe, of course, to feed all 13 of us!

My girls and their cousins came flying in the house yesterday afternoon proudly brandishing a smallish, brown egg! Our FIRST egg! We’re so excited! Then today, they caught one of our Buff Orpingtons in the act! Talk about fresh!
Woo-hoo! Omelettes, anyone?
I just love our chickens. Haven’t lost a one, yet…though I’ve scrambled out of bed [...]
Hello, me here! My mil came and got the girls and I’m going stir crazy walking around with every appendage swollen and oozing. Decided to share the joy with you all and document this lovely process with pictures!
What a mercy though, that this poisonous process held off pretty much long enough for me to enjoy [...]
