When you lose sight….LOOK
The door slides open after she knocks. Tentatively she pokes her head in, “I’m supposed to take lunch to my dad but I’m not sure of where to go.” This niece of mine – she’s tall {taller than me anyway}, slender, with dancer’s legs, best friends to my daughter. Her father has his own farm […]
Watercolor Autumn Art
Autumn is in the air! I can’t wait for it to officially start. It is my favorite season of the year. Friday, for part of school, the kids and I created some simple watercolor Autumn art. Start by painting splotches of red, yellow, orange, brown, and purple all over your paper. Let it dry. Using […]

Sweet Ol’ Summertime
Summer seems to be officially over. Kind of. We just started swathing {mowing} our fourth crop of hay which means a very busy time for the next two to three weeks. The weather is definitely beginning to change. The evenings cool down so by morning it is downright chilly outside. In the heat of summer […]
Imagine hearing music for the first time
I came across this article today about a 23 year old man who, because of the development of better, more powerful hearing aids, can now hear music for the first time in his life. By now he has listened to a wide variety of music, with country music being his least favorite because, to his […]
Poor, Poor Neglected Blog
Dear Poor Neglected Blog, I know you have been waiting patiently for me to update or write a fantastic post or something but I am rather busy right now with more important things. Plus my brain is fried. The three oldest started high school on Monday. We were going to start the younger children on […]
Our Homeschool Journey: The extras – Music, Art, etc.
The extras have been just that….extras. Sometimes we get to them, many times we don’t, and sometimes we stumble upon them unexpectedly. Some years we have been better at doing the extras. We try to do art on Mondays, music on Fridays, and field trips on Wednesdays or something like that. ☺ Here are the […]
Happiness Happens
Did you know that August is Happiness Happens month? A few weeks ago I came across this wonderful story of service and giving and creating happiness. I knew I needed to share it with you! It begins with a secret nine women held for more than 30 years. Would you be able to keep a […]
A Glimpse of Heaven {Review}
Those who know me well enough know my favorite books to read are biographies. I enjoy reading about other people’s lives, how they are effected by the choices they make and the circumstances they find themselves in, how they react to situations, and how they make it through. There is so much we can learn […]
Beautiful World by Justin Cash {Giveaway}
I have this habit picked up from my mother that drives my children nuts. It used to drive me crazy too when my mom did it. And now I do it, go figure! When I’m driving down the road listening to good music I place my hands at the top of the steering wheel and […]
Good Ol’ Family Movies
Our family loves to watch old movies, the older the better! I thought I’d share a new to us movie we’ve watched lately as well as our absolute favorites. The Mating of Millie is a romantic comedy starring Glenn Ford and Evelyn Keys. Millie is a single woman who tries to find a husband in […]
