Video Meme
This week Heart of the Matter asked homeschool bloggers to participate in a video meme to introduce ourselves to one another. So here’s my sorry attempt.

Brownie’s Self-Portraits
Brownie has her own digital camera that she received for her birthday last year. I love all the self-portrait pictures she takes with it.

Handmade Pledge
The holiday season is almost here. Can you believe that? I’m already behind. Usually I try to have all the Christmas gifts, Christmas cards, and other stuff like that completed by the end of October so I can sit back and enjoy the holidays without most of the stress. This year we are doing everything […]

My good friend Marmee accidentally clicked on my old signature (at the bottom of my posts) when she was trying to click on something else in her feed reader. Now I knew that clicking on the signature would take you to the site where I created the signature. What I did not know, however, was […]
