Today, I just really was not sure what to post. I shared links to information and other single homeschooling blogs. I shared what I did. I let you know that it is a hard thing to do and it’s a hard choice to make. What to share today? I don’t know! There’s no one size [...]

**I posted this several years ago, but it’s a great topic to revisit for this blog hop. Single moms–you NEED to take some time to relax and have fun. Hopefully you can get some ideas from my list. Frugality is a fact of life for us. My family never had much money when I was [...]

Then he went to prison. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do and seriously wondered if I was crazy to even [...]

I saw this in the church library and picked it up. I’ll be honest–I don’t have time to read it so I only flipped through it. It looks good and I’ve liked the other books I’ve read by Dr. Leman. If you’re a single mom, or know one–check it out.

Over the past few days, I’ve heard things that encouraged me. They also moved me to tears. I still hate that! When my sister in law called to see what was going on with Lee, she said, “You’ve been strong for so long.” Funny how a simple little sentence caused tears to gather in my [...]
