Homeschooling Twist on Fantasy Gaming
This week I tried something different with the kids and homeschooling. We did a fantasy adventure. It’s something I’ve thought about before but never got around to setting up until lately. I took some loose inspiration from role playing games, but without dice or battles (yet). It played along something like this: The kids knew […]
I’m Alive!
I realize I missed my post for last week, and I apologize. The internet at the inn where we were staying has really sloooow internet, which kept timing out before posting. But I’m back now!

The Bright Side of a Smashed Banana
People tell me to look on the bright side, to see the positives. Post pone the natural response and look deeper. So, when I found my 3 year old turning the banana I just gave him into a creamy, mashed mess, I took a deep breath, counted to ten and decided I’d give it a […]

Disclaimer: This list is compiled and created by a very biased, unscientific, partial, random and highly unprofessional method of evaluation. In other words, I sporadically decided I wanted some fun songs for the kids, googled to find a nice *Free* resource to download some, was overwhelmed by the amount, randomly started downloading anything that looked […]
Dangers of Asking God for Help
You might get it. God knows well the trick of showing me how easy I have it by giving me more. And like Ralene pointed out in her computer struggles, God is happy to help us with our goals and good intentions – whether we want it or not. Lately, one of my biggest hang-ups […]
