A "Half Day" Journal of one (half) homeschoolin' momma Ed. Note: I didn't think I'd be ready for the first day of school and you know what? I wasn't. The classroom wasn't clean and the lessons weren't all in the planner. Are you kidding? I'm still ordering curriculum! We are still attempting to move the three girls into the … [Read more...]

Back to School {with gratitude}
Prologue: I hope that my words speak to your heart somehow, because the devil has sure been working on mine. Every morning he renews his attack. He chides me about my cluttered home; he reminds me—constantly—of all my failures; and he taunts me nonstop about the many accomplishments of all my friends. “Get behind me,” I say, and I walk away, … [Read more...]

Our Lenten Crowns
We finally got around to making a salt dough crown of thorns. What? There are still two and a half weeks left of Lent. We’re doing well! (Haven’t yet made a papal lap book, though.) (Fingers crossed. Please no pope until we get it done!) Hey, a mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do, and when it comes to cooking & cleaning & … [Read more...]
An Electronic Education
I have a love/hate relationship with the computer. Who among us doesn’t, really? On the one hand, (“one hand” meaning that I’m usually nursing), it is my window to the world. I am endlessly—and I do mean endlessly—inspired, entertained & edified. Best of all, (and this alone makes the computer worthwhile), I have made some of my dearest … [Read more...]
The 14th Annual MN Catholic Home Education Conference
When I first attended this homeschooling conference, my oldest son was four and we were just starting out down the homeschooling path. Oh, what an eager-beaver, hooves-stomping-anxiously-at-the-gate mom I was! Really. I was just that mixed a metaphor. Well, that kid is now a 10th grader and I have since learned to relax a bit. Granted, … [Read more...]
