Happy New Year! I hope you have had a good holiday season. I have not felt like writing much this month. There was a lot of holiday prep to keep me busy, but I've also had mixed feelings of sadness about the ongoing pandemic and other events as well as some contentment and gratefulness for … Continue reading December 31, 2020
Greetings & Happy Holidays. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and that you're looking forward to the winter holidays in December. We had a pleasant Thanksgiving, but the best part has been taking a few days off from our regular routine to play and putter around the house. Boy, I needed that!

October is well on its way and the weather has been beautiful. I'm even starting to see a little color on the trees too. Our homeschool year is going as expected, and it's keeping me extremely occupied, to say the least, which is why this is a short post. This year is the most challenging … Continue reading October
Homeschooling is the road less traveled, and that makes all the difference. Everyday my boys teach me something new. They teach me about life, about the world, and they teach me how to be a better parent. Homeschooling, also, is something I learn about everyday.

February came and went, and I had every intention of writing a blog post last month, but I was never able to finish anything I started. February is usually the coldest month in Georgia, and this year was no exception. It even snowed one day, and it was beautiful for a few hours. Mostly it's … Continue reading March

December, and especially the Winter Solstice, seems like a good time for reflection to me. With cooler temperatures, I want to stay home and curl up with a good book. Or write some poetry. I never get to do that, but it's nice dreaming about it. 😉 I know this time of year can be … Continue reading December
