Pokepedia
Tonight Sam wanted to create his own website complete with uploading capabilities, and more. At first he wanted to call it pokemonclub-dot-com. Seeing as how that is already taken and dad and I weren’t ready to shell out money for this new interest, we were able to convince him to start simple with this page [...]

Today was better
And colder! I’d just gotten re-used to the sounds outside and now (with all the windows closed) the house seems too quiet. LOL! We had our last “game day” today. As a winter replacement for our homeschool group’s recess, I’d started having “game day” here. The original intent was to get the kids together to [...]

Some days
This morning I had the bright idea that, instead of Sam doing treadmill time, we’d all head out to Bear Creak and get exercise there. My grand(iose) plan was that Sam would ride his bike, Jess would putter along on her trike, and I would lead Kirby AND all this would happen more or less [...]

WordPress and Cache Files
OMG! The trouble I was having with cache errors was not because of the changes at my host. It was because of the hundreds (so many I couldn’t open the folders) of cache files that this version of wordpress (2.0.2) creates. Once those were deleted… took me literally two days of constant deletions… thing sped [...]

It’s 51 degrees outside
raining AND all my windows are open. *deep breath in* Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! It smells sooooo good in the house right now. AC/Heat system is off. I think it is the first time it has been off since it was installed last summer. LOL! The kids just came in from playing outside. Jessie is down for a [...]

Of all the things…

This thought really hit me today as [...]

A Shared Learning Moment
Today I learned something new in Math with Sam. And my “eureka” led to a few from Sam. So it was waaaay cool! I feel kinda silly for not knowing these things but I am excited as well. We were working on math, and as he was completing his 9s facts and I noticed (and [...]

Love Handles
This is my new purse I made recently. The title “love handles” comes from the fact that this purse reminds that I am loved. The “raw materials” have a bit of history to them and I have one more thing to add still. The grey shell was an italian sweater in its previous life. A [...]

‘Tis Done
Turned in my first scibal assignment today. From what I can tell, it was well received. I am greatly relieved to be done with it. I was really worried that I would not get done with it in time! I also gave my brief talk about medieval bestiaries to the shire. I have no friggin [...]
The Miracle of Whitework
You know, for as simple a thing as it is, whitework really makes illumination pop. Or maybe it is just me. But the past two pieces now I’ve been happily surprised at the amount of depth some simple whitework can add. I added the midtones and whitework today. I still need to do some minor [...]
