This summer we have had the opportunity to visit an amusement park. Since I have only ever attended with friends or with my public school students, I didn't know what to expect when taking our own preschool aged children. After two visits, we have learned to prepare so that we have a great day! Clothing Since most amusement parks have water ...

An Update on Our Family
It is time for an update. Bubs Bubs is seven with a birthday just around the corner. He just finished 1st Grade and had a great teacher and year.

Spin a Chore
For some reason in our home, the kids prefer to do a job at 80% instead of doing the job correctly. Not really sure why but they do. Here's an example...instead of putting the toy in the room, on the shelf where it belongs, the children place the toy in the doorway of the room. I believe the extra three steps to finish the job ...

So Much to Tell You
Finally, I get to sit down and write this blog. I am so excited to tell you what God is teaching me right now that I can barely stand myself. I seriously have thought how wonderful it would be to have a computer hooked to my brain so that all I had to do was think it, and it would type up the document. (Might be scary to see in writing some of the ...
