Carnival of Homeschooling

The 13th Carnival of Homeschooling is up over at Why Homeschool!Once again I forgot to contribute…and I wonder why my children have trouble with deadlines (don’t tell them!).

Counting my blessings (sometimes you gotta)

There are a lot of poop stories in my life. This time it was Good Dog. Bad Dog left us when she was forced to sleep outside. I can only guess she sad-eyed one of the neighbors and found better circumstances. That’s how she ended up here in the first place. I’m very happy for [...]

Monthly Grocery List for 9

Do you really want to know? I suspect Hubby will want to know when late June rolls around…Here it is, rough, but more-or-less complete. I plan a flexible menu for the month, so obviously it will vary a bit from month to month, but you might be surprised at how little it varies. I am.Notes: [...]

My rabbit

My rabbit had babys! She had 6! 2 are tiger striped 2 are black 2 are a mixture of white, brown, and black I will try to put some pictures up later!

7 kids, 1 sucker. Now what?

I came across another mom who wonders what to do when some well-meaning and unthinking soul gives just one of her children a treat – often without suggesting that it be shared amongst the onlooking siblings.We have one rule that covers such situations very neatly: Do unto others as you would have others do unto [...]
