To Make My Husband Laugh

One of my daily goals is to make my husband laugh.  This is today’s success story: We were eating supper–steak and German potato salad.  My little two-year-old boy was happily eating his potato salad.  Evidently he and I were the only two that cared for it.  My daughter Joy was impressed that he would eat… [continue reading]

The Last Email I Ever Forwarded

It was about ten years ago and email was still relatively new to me.  I checked my account several times a day to see if I had received anything new.  I loved getting and reading forwarded stories and jokes and thought it was great fun passing them on. One day I got this really cool… [continue reading]

A Cool Spanish Teacher

My high school Spanish teacher was my favorite teacher.  It was hard to find subs in Oklahoma that could speak Spanish, so since I was a native speaker, when he wasn’t able to make it to class he would have me teach the lesson, and the sub would sit in the back and supervise.  This… [continue reading]

Why I Homeschool

“Why do you homeschool?”  I hear this question a lot from family, friends, neighbors, and perfect strangers.  For me it was an easy decision because it was Jason’s.  (Insert smile here.) From the first time he heard of the idea of homeschooling he thought it was wonderful.  Me?  Not so much.  To homeschool I thought… [continue reading]

Funny Kids Quotes #3

My daughter, Joy, asked me, “Mom, what’s your last name?” Now, you have to understand:  She asks a lot of questions.  I was in a hurry.  I thought the answer was obvious.  So I hurriedly spouted out, “Same as yours,” in a very mono tone voice. “Sameasyours?” she asked laughing as if that was the funniest… [continue reading]

Flower Mound Free Pumpkin Patch 2010

How do you fix a cracked pumpkin?  You take it to the pumpkin patch! My daughter told us this on the way.  She said she made it up.  I thought it was pretty good! We had a great time today.  It was cool and overcast, and we left just before the rain. Now we’re settling… [continue reading]

An Open-Mouth-Insert-Foot Experience

My husband and I were strolling down the aisles of Central Market the other day enjoying the samples.  We came to a lady promoting and giving out chips and salsa.  “Sure, I’ll try it,” I told her. “Give me the medium.” “What do you think?” she asked. “This isn’t hot at all,” I told her. … [continue reading]

Hair, Make-Up, and Daughters that Tell It Like It Is

My six-year-old daughter, Joy, is one who always notices details.  We like to say that she doesn’t miss a thing.  One day I went up to her room.  She looked up and said, “Are we going to church?”  I told her that we weren’t.  Very indignantly she responded, “Then why are you wearing make-up?” Tuesday… [continue reading]

A Discipline Issue Regarding Destruction of Property

One of my daughters called me up to her room during quiet time to tell me something was broken.  Uh oh!  I went up there to find the CD player I had loaned her with two buttons irreparably mashed in and the speaker dented.  She didn’t do it on purpose, she said, but looking at… [continue reading]

Twice Baked Jalapeno Potato Casserole with Greek Yogurt

We found steak for under three dollars a pound on Sunday so my husband said he’d grill it  for supper.  I made this twice baked jalapeno potato casserole  and a lettuce salad with avocado and cheese to go with it.    Yum! My kids eat potatoes a whole lot better if they don’t see the skin… [continue reading]
