I’m not tired of the smaller clothes. I’m just TIRED OF THE WORK! That’s okay though. I’m still working. Right now I’m on the [...]

I also put it in a little chocolate treat I make as well as eat it plain. It’s so yummy! Tropical Traditions unsweetened [...]

We read Shakespeare in our homeschool. Sometimes I forget to keep up with it. We’re behind where we should be but then I think about the fact that I only had to read 1 Shakespeare play in my entire education. I figure he’s way ahead of where I ever was so I don’t worry about [...]

We’ve worked in our nature journals since before James started school. It’s fun to look back and remember the things we observed. I will admit that we are not as faithful as we should be and I’m trying to do better. It’s not that we don’t have tons of opportunities and ideas! It’s just that [...]
