Sometimes they ARE angels
Being that I am quick to complain when my kids are… being kids, I wanted to share this: I was making dinner and Sam came into the kitchen, “Mom, is there anything I can do to help?” After helping he added, “… because I like to do things that make you smile. I like to [...]

Polyphemus Moth
Isn’t he gorgous! It is definitely a he. I love all the different colors. This website has more information on them. They don’t however have any records on file for Boone County. I think I will try to send them a copy of this picture. Jessie is the one who found him on the back [...]
Too Funny
And too true. This homeschooling mom writes “If you give a homeschooling mom a cookie.” I think I am in there somewhere. LOL! Not a bad thing I think. Always trying to find a “lesson” in what is around us. Trying to inundate our kids with knowledge until their brains explode. Ok. Maybe not that [...]

War College… again
Ok. One more try at this. Here I am again in the fullest apron dress that ever was. Worn for the first time at War College in Amlesmore. The turtle brooches were a gift from the great and wonderful Ismay! Their arrival brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Thank you my [...]

The Perfect Mother’s Day Dinner
Suuuuushiiiiiiiiii! Or am I the only mom who feels that way? ;P Yes, good sushi can be had in MO. A very unlikely place, nestled between a gym and tanning salon called Simma Down. Sounds very CA-esque no? When you walk in it feels very much like an upscale coffeeshop but oh man, the sushi [...]

Carnival of Space
Squeeee! I’m famous. My post “Mommy, I want to see Mars” is mentioned in the Carnival of Space, week 2. Go check it out. If you’ve never been to a homeschooling blog carnival before, it is a great way to find other HSing bloggers and read what they think about a particular subject. There are [...]

Mommy, I want to see Mars
He is 9 now, but I remember a then 4-year-old Sam said this to us one day. We were completely perplexed as to why he asked it. Sam was definitely talking about the planet and he knew it would be up in the sky at night. Where had he learned about Mars? As it turned [...]
