My tummy has finally started growing at a more rapid rate. For so long I just looked fat. (I AM overweight, but not as much as I looked.) At any rate, I actually LOOK pregnant now. Eric said that I have for about a month, but people who don’t know me or didn’t know I [...]

A little more cognizant
Posted in family, homeschool, tagged homeschool on September 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
After a good night’s sleep, (barring the hour of pregancy-induced insomnia from 2 am- 3 am,) I feel like I actually have a brain. We got a late start today because of it, but I needed to just take my time and get some things in order around the house AND inside of my [...]
Lotsa Pumpkin
Posted in garden, in the kitchen, tagged canning, harvest, pantry on September 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This weekend was a canning festival. Well, festival was probably a poor choice for wording, because it was HOURS of work. That topped with church, a party, family visits and many other small, but time-consuming events made for a jam-packed weekend. SO I guess the appropriate wording for the first sentence would be: This weekend [...]
More Canning

Today I made some bread, as we were out. I’m going to finish with the kids’ homeschool and then venture onto MORE canning. Today I’m going to do my waterbath-canning….crushed tomatoes and pickled peppers. Then tomorrow I’ll have to do my pressure-canning: pumpkins, butternut squash and sweet potatoes. On one of these days I also [...]
Rock(et) ON!!!!
Posted in family, house, tagged bedding, nursery, rockets on September 17, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been searching for about a month for a theme for Liam and Sean’s room. Liam loves rockets, robots, tractors, automobiles, etc. Anything along that line and he’s infatuated. He’ll walk around the house like a robot repeating, “A bi’ robot!” That or he’ll take off like a rocket down our hallway.
Being the vintage-freak that [...]
Potty Training

I’ve put off potty training Liam until recently. He turned three at the end of July. I put off the training because my first two girls were so hard to train….we’re talking MONTHS of training. I’m not sure what the deal was. Then Arden came along and at 2 1/2 trained herself, so I guess [...]
Laughing Thyme Farm
Posted in homestead stuff, tagged farm on September 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We’ve had many interesting and strange conversations at the supper table trying to figure out what we should call our farm. There have been a lot of hilarious and out-landish suggestions resulting in a lot of laughter.
Different suggestions:
Darn Deer Farm- because of the “darn deer” that kept eating our bean and destroyed our fruit trees)
Rocky [...]
Arden’s Extraction
Posted in family, tagged tooth on September 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Arden had her front tooth extracted today. A little over a year ago we were shopping in Home Depot and she fell on the concrete floor, smashing her lip and tooth pretty hard. It has been slightly-greyish for a while, but a while back, I think it was in July, it started bleeding for no [...]
Lapbooking “Genesis”
Posted in homeschool, tagged education, homeschool, lapbook, sonlight on September 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know if that makes since or not to use “genesis” there, but in any case I’m ACTUALLY writing a blog JUST about homeschooling. Shocked?
A few months back sometime in the middle of the summer, a friend introduced me to lapbooking. This lapbooking is meant to be used as a supplement to [...]

A Science geek. I check out this site every day.

Yes, that’s every day.
Okay, this one too:

And this one:

Sigh….. And yes, I know that I spelled “kinduva” incorrectly. I’m actually more of a English geek than a Science one.
