It’s a disease, and I have it. It’s called Foot in Mouth Disease. Ay ay ay ay! How I wish the floor would open up and (temporarily) swallow me up sometimes. I try not to say too much in front of people I don’t know well, because I know if I do I’ll say something… [continue reading]
I went into hysterics at Sam’s Club
I have been so busy since the beginning of September. We came home from our vacation and school started that next week. We go to programs for homeschooling families twice a week this year, so that alone has ramped up our schedules. I have also been super busy on my blog with sponsored campaigns. I’m… [continue reading]
Friendship and a flimsy wall
I really enjoyed the Teach Them Diligently convention. The speakers were great, the curriculum booths were fun, the kids program was very well run, meeting new people was exciting, but the highlight of the convention for me was getting to see Katy. The convention is a great way to bring people together! I hadn’t seen… [continue reading]
You said what?
My husband has accepted a position at a new engineering firm. I am really sad to see him leave his job of over eight years because he has enjoyed it all these years, but a growing family and things such as BILLS drove him to interview in search of a salary increase. He has had… [continue reading]

Funny Family Stories about my husband
As I’ve shared in the past, when my husband can be very one track minded. He can be so focused on something that at times he doesn’t know what his own hands are doing. This can make for some funny situations. One time we were visiting at the house of some friends. My husband had… [continue reading]
Fiber One Bars
We eat a lot of granola bars around here. I love to cook breakfast food; I do, just not until evening. First thing in the morning I might burn the house down! So I stock up on granola bars whenever they are on sale. This time Fiber One Bars just happened to be one of… [continue reading]
Mom strikes again
You know how I told you last week that Little Jason was so excited to have the same preschool teachers as last year? Yeah, well, that’s interesting. I took him the second week and dropped him off. He was equally excited. I was merrily doing my shopping when the phone rang. “Oh no, I hope… [continue reading]
Adopt a Grandparent
Our boarding high school was associated with a retirement center for elderly missionaries. When the opportunity became available to adopt a grandparent I happily volunteered. I’ve always loved people of all ages. It sounded like fun. Oh man. From the time I met the couple it was obvious. The man loved me. The woman did… [continue reading]
