Beautiful Calling

Chloe was invited to a birthday party at build-a-bear last month; she was excited to go, as was I. We’d never been and all I can say is “wow”. The party was at 1pm and Chloe still naps in the afternoon. Needless to say, after the marching, the fun, and excitement, cake and pizza, this [...]

Cowboys and fairies; every day is magical with these two! Happy Wordless Wednesday

photo adapted from jessica.diamond These Last Few Hours It is important to me that I spend a part of the next few hours here alone with you in the darkness.   You and I will never be this close again.   By morning you will be a tiny person all on your own. No longer [...]

Our first box day was 2010 (using Before Five in a Row). A fun, easy-going year. This year marks our second year homeschooling and our first with Sonlight. John will be doing Fiction, Fairytales and Fun (P3/4) and Chloe will enjoy Exploring God’s World (P4/5), though I imagine there will be lots of overlaps and [...]

The children received a package in the mail from their GiGi the other day. Inside? Bubble guns; the children were over-the-moon excited. We also got several refills; when they run out, we’ll use dish soap. They’ll be having a lot of good clean fun this summer. {ha ha!} Happy Wordless Wednesday

This past week was enjoyable. Knowing that soon my time will be divided between the littles and a new baby, we’ve been thoroughly enjoying this last week. Planting flowers, ice cream treats, extra stories, fun at the park… You can’t see it well in the photo but Miss Chloe has sparkly butterflies on her big [...]

Friday May 20th was the start of the long weekend and a hot, sunny day. We pulled out the pool {a curbside garbage day find – thanks mom!} and had a little fun. There was shrieking and jumping and fun – fun – fun for a couple hours and then this is what arrived at [...]

  Our church has a Christian School and the Lord has blessed our church with a good sized property in addition to a large separate gymnasium on the property. Each May, our church hosts a Track and Field meet. Christian schools from all over the area, along with homeschoolers, come to participate. Attendance runs about [...]

Chloe arrived in our room at 6am this morning to tell DH that it wasn’t raining out and that the sun was shining. Since our new arrival will be arriving any day now, we have no plans booked and are just taking it easy. Today we grabbed KFC and went to a local conservation area. [...]

  After days of rain, the sun has made an appearance. The children are playing in the back yard and it’s lunch time; I hate to call them in. Celery and Cheese Whiz was a treat I enjoyed growing up and my tots feel the same way. An interesting {cheater?} lunch today with that, sliced [...]
