I saw this at Joann’s the other day, and I just couldn’t pass it up. Sewing + Education = Must Buy! All I really did to it was add a fleece backing. I thought about batting, but that’s just too much work for me. So I tried to learn how to do a new stitch on my sewing machine I …Read the Rest

But close to it. This is way off topic for this blog, but I must share that I’ve finally started to figure out these online coupons. After reading on One Tightwad Mama, all the deals at Target, I decided to give it a shot and see if I have the patience, and stamina to snag up some discount groceries. So …Read the Rest
It was totally worth the mess I especially loved the little sun that she drew in the corner: And the way she spread out the green to make the grass. What Fun! Puff Paint is a must have for any Crafty Classroom!
It’s here! It’s Here! Well, at least it WAS. I guess I missed the postman, because my Amazon order of The Christian Kids Gardening Guide had arrived, but apparently I was to busy taking my 3 year old to the Doctor to pick up the package. So it’s here…..at the post office I assume….. waiting for me to come get …Read the Rest
I know. I thought we were done learning about the Oregon Trail too. Guess Not. Last week we took a trip to one of the area parks around here (cause that what sick homeschoolers do….they go feed the ducks.) Tell me that little guy wouldn’t cheer up even the sickest of children. And if he wouldn’t, this little herd might: …Read the Rest

Okay, so I admit it. When I was in High School, and Capris started coming back into style, I was very “I’m never going to wear those crazy pants” Preferring of course, my LEI flairs, or my MUDD Bellbottoms Some of you know what I’m talking about, LOL. Anyway, it’s like 10 years later and I have to admit that …Read the Rest
I Did It! I found a Pattern off the internet, (and successfully followed it) And Made this. Okay, I know it’s basically a rectangle with straps. But these were very important straps…. Ones that required exact placement 1/4 of the way to the center…. And Boning and D Rings were involved…. (Don’t worry, I had never heard of them either) …Read the Rest
Have you seen this woman? Yesterday as I was running errands, I ran into an old classmate (read: almost hit her with my car…….yes, on accident) But anyway, she was dressed to the nines: Designer clothing Freshly frosted tips And her make-up perfectly accented her already gorgeous face. And I’d bet 20 bucks she had freshly painted piggies too. And …Read the Rest

Just some backround on my kids: Sissy, 6 year old girl Bubba 3 year old boy As you read Bubba’s answers you’ll start to notice that my little guy is a bit “food” orientated, as …Read the Rest
Oh so here is what I picked from the Sweet Life….which was so crowded, we had to take our goodies home with us. I must say that I enjoyed the Chocolate Cake about 100% more then the Cannoli.

Both of my kids have decided to come down with the worst case of Ear/Eye infections I’ve ever seen (which yes, thankfully, I can still see……as I’ve yet to contract the nasty things they’ve been spewing out) Since we don’t normal “School” and we don’t do “Daycare” or anything like that…… it means that we’ve most likely contracted these terrible …Read the Rest

I couldn’t help myself. Hubby volunteered to watch Bubba (3-year old son) and Sissy and I just had too much time on our hands….. Oh…..what to do, what to do? Winter is soooo far away, is it too early to make everyone stockings? And as if that wasn’t a problem in itself I’ve got some serious choices to make here: …Read the Rest
I can’t believe it! I just picked up a hair straightening iron from Walgreens, and I’m pleased to announce that the contraption actually worked on my hair.

Oh, I just love the days when we find good books that fill a need in our classroom. Lately, Well, Okay For a while now I’ve been feeling more and more tired….just plain ole’ lazy sometimes….but really just tired.
