And The Winner Is . . .
The Homeschool Blog Award winners are posted! I didn’t win, but Hubby said he was very proud of me for being nominated, and that’s good enuff for me. I surely do love that man! There are a lot of blogs I hadn’t read before who won, and one of my very favorites, The Common Room,won […]

Well, I’d hoped to have a post about our weekend by now, but we’ve just been enjoying being with each other. Today through the end of the week, I’m watching a friend’s daughter while she works, so I’m not sure if I’ll get the chance! I posted some pictures, I hope that […]
It’s all over now . . .

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Shopping and Sledding
Not at the same time, of course! I have an incredibly awesome friend (dare I say best friend?!) who, while IMing this morning threw out an “I can take the kids for you if you want to finish your shopping.” Are you kidding?! And then she said “I’ll take them to the […]
Christmas Tag
Carol tagged me, and I didn’t have anything to post today anyway. Here goes:
Christmas Tag
1. Hot Chocolate or apple cider?
Oh, hard to choose. I love them both, but chocolate wins out every time. My SIL got me a lovely basket this year with several gourmet packets and some chocolate-coated peppermint stir sticks. […]Authors
UPDATE: Well, I took Headmistress‘ suggestion and checked them out on Ebay. Looks like there’s not much demand for vintage card games — or even true antiques! There was a 1830’s set, it only had 4 bids and was only up to $26. I do love old things, simply for […]
White House Ornaments
Miz Booshay asks (well, actually her sister Sue did), “What is your favorite ornament on your tree and why?” I actually have a whole set of favorites. Hubby has a cousin who lives in Virginia, near DC, and volunteers at the White House. His aunt is so proud of her, she gets us all […]
It’s Beginning to Look . . .
. . .a lot like Christmas!!! We’re finally getting into the Christmas spirit around here, and none too soon. We got our tree up Tuesday night; the girls and I decorated it Wednesday while Hubby was at work. He was surprised to see we got the whole thing done AND the boxes back into the […]
Too Fast!
Hubby has this little joke with the girls. He takes a book, puts it on their heads and pretends to push down on it saying “Stop growing! Stop growing!” They just giggle and giggle.
I felt like that today! Miss M decided that 7 was a good age to get her ears pierced. We decided when […]Contemplating a Move
I’ve been thinking about moving over to Homeschool Blogger for a while now. I have so many friends who have blogs there and I love the templates! Do you have any pros/cons about their blog hosting, and any tips or suggestions to make the move as smooth as possible, without losing my current […]
We Are So Blessed!
We are blessed with friends and love, and the grace of God! After my angst over the Blogad image, one of the ladies on the e-mail list I mentioned below contacted me to see if they could send us some cash to tide us over for Christmas. She would have done it anonymously but she […]

Well, I’ve been tagged! In my melancholy lately I hadn’t been surfing blogs as much as usual and missed that I’d been tagged – twice! I’m probably the last person in the blogosphere to do this meme, but here goes . . .
