Well, my 1 year Blog-a-versary came and went last month and I didn’t even post anything. I’m such a slogger. (slacker + blogger = Slogger adj. meaning a blogger who slacks. But, better late then never I guess. So to celebrate I’ve been updating my blog with a new look. (And a new button….feel free to grab it, or any …Read the Rest
Before you look at the photos, please note: All previous Awana Cars manufactured in the McClintick household have been so “Special” that I have never shared their actual glory online, in print, or even via word of mouth….well, except this one for Sparks, but that was just to point out how special it was. But Anyway….this year….We’re in like Flynn….(do …Read the Rest
Photographic proof that we McClintick’s are especially Lucky on St. Patrick’s day: It took all of two seconds for the wee one’s to find this beauty! (That’s a clover right?) Now where did that little green fella’ go? Blessings, Valerie

You know, I rarely post about the Pro’s and Con’s of Homeschooling… I have no excuse really. Guess I’m just not the recuitment type. But today I’d thought I’d share one of the bennies’ of being your child’s teacher, by giving you a little sneak peak, behind the scenes glance at one of the lovely endearing notes that I got …Read the Rest
Okay, so I’m not really sure what category these little guys are going to fall under, because we made them with rose petals in the shape of hearts…and they look like Spring trees, but Valentine’s Day is not exactly in Spring per-se’ …..so for now we’re just calling them Valentine Trees. Whatever. They’re really easy, and they are like a …Read the Rest
Yup….Anytime now… Since this is technically a Craft Blog, and not “In your face, LOOK what I got for Christmas blog” Instead of bragging, I’ll leave you with this photo of todays project: Anyone wanna guess what they are going to be?
I’ve just been busy with this….. And this….. Isn’t my Hubby A-Mazing?
I’ve been meandering through my photo storage and looking back at somethings that I took photos of….and meant to post…but never did. So this is a 2009 Photo Skip, and includes a giant hodge podge of things that we did this year and never told you about: Have a Happy New Year!
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; (They wouldn’t DARE!) The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; (HEY! There’s still time people, Old Saint Nick ain’t due for another 24 hours) The children were nestled all snug …Read the Rest
Well….um….Me! So, lets be real here folks. I need some votes. Actually I just stumbled upon this when I went over to vote for Carisa, who I voted for then realized I was actually nominated for this category. No take backsies I guess. LOL I guess even if I did know that I was nominated, it’s not really good politics …Read the Rest
You know… I love the fact that she’s taken the initiative to write out a grocery list, But I have to laugh, because what is she expecting here? That after I wander down the cereal aisle and pick up some Honey Nut Cherrios, I’ll nonchalantly cross that off the list and move down to the next item without question? Like …Read the Rest
Thank you everyone for your prayers! Monkey is doing so much better and I got quite a bit more sleep last night (more then usual lately) and I’m so thankful for that. (This is not me….being excited) And as a bonus, this morning when I woke up, my daughter had 80% of her school work done. Apparently she woke up …Read the Rest
UPDATE: Monkey is doing better, he’s not rasping through every breath anymore. However Bubba (my 3 year old) just woke up this morning with a nasty cough…..Hmm, wonder what it could be? I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that last night (during our 2hour trip to Urgent Care) I caught him with Monkeys aspirator in his …Read the Rest
In College we read studies about these types of tests, but they are way more fun to watch. In fact, this is actually the type of position that I want(ed) to pursue……researching cognitive development in children. Had I not become pregnant myself, I’m sure I’d be off in a lab right now doing the exact same thing, placing marshmallows in …Read the Rest
Okay that title makes sense if you have curly hair. Because according to the experts, you’re not supposed to wash curly hair everyday. Who’duh Thunk-it Right? (apparently it dries out or something like that) Instead they say that you should wash it every other day or even every two days. So for most of my adult-life (since I heard this …Read the Rest
Yea! We made it! Sissy’s first day of first grade Bubba’s first day of whatever. (The boy has got a workbook and a house full of educational treasures….who needs a curriculum…..he’ll be fine.) I had planned on taking lots of photo snapshots of our day. However I spent most of the day holding Monkey. And Monkey don’t like no Camera …Read the Rest
Mom: Bubba, are you ready for me to check your room. Bubba: Yes, but can you just not check the closet. Mom: Did you get some breakfast yet. Bubba: Yeah, and I fixed the lid of the whip cream so you couldn’t tell. Me Thinks: (He is so silly, what is he thinking?) A Quiet Voice: (You’re so silly too.) …Read the Rest
Attorney Expectation: Please state your name and occupation for the record. Me: Valer…..ahem……Valerie McClintick. Wife, Mother, Homeschooler. Attorney Expectation: “Mrs McClintick, would it be true to say that you plan on starting school in no less then 3 days?” Me: “Why….well, I guess…we’ll I’m certain….” Attorney Expectation: “Please refrain from explanation and answer YES or NO” Me: (ummmmmmm?) Yes. Attorney …Read the Rest
L is for the way you LOOK at me… O is for the only ONE I see… V is Very, Very extraordinary, and E is EVEN more then anything that I adore, that’s LOVE!
