I wrote earlier today about the DILIGENCE BOARD and the morning chore cards we have created for our family. I’m planning to make a little video a little later today about these cards. Our morning routine cards are a little different than our morning chore cards. The morning routines (especially the printed cards), lay everything out for my children in…

Morning Chores
If you are here for the first time, I’m so glad you stopped by! We are a “larger than average” family. I guess some would consider us a big family. 🙂 I am asked ALL THE TIME how we manage our home so I decided to start a series on this topic. Our home is so far from perfectly clean.…
ETHAN Project: Enjoy the Dirt
Ahhh…this week has been so full. Every single year, I set out to enjoy the time during the summer. I want to slow down, to make memories, to have something real to show for the days. I’m so thankful for the plan this summer. It’s kept me on track to make sure I’m making time for some things that are…
Book Review: Five Brides
I’m one of those people who just don’t seem to find the time to read fiction on a regular basis. I get that it’s supposed to be good for your brain. I know it is fun to read stories written for entertainment. I just don’t have time very often. My latest book review was an indulgence of sorts. I was…

2014-2015 Curriculum Updates
We have had a fantastic school year. As always, there were some things that worked and some that didn’t work, but that is the exciting part of starting a new year, right? I thought it would be fun to share my three favorite curriculum choices for this past year (and these are not in any particular order). First, Khan Academy…

Happy 6th Birthday!
Time passes so quickly. It seems like yesterday we were welcoming this baby girl and now she is turning six. It’s just unbelievable. Here are some quick pics from her birthday: …that was the best bicycle hat EVER. I’m praying the Lord will bless her in big ways this year. May she have a good year and grow healthy and…
ETHAN Project- Week 4- Enjoy the Water
It has been scorching this past week, in the deep south. We’ve planned most of our activities around the rising temps and while we’ve worked and played outside in the early morning and late hours (like our early morning blueberry picking), the middle of the day has been a good time to focus on inside projects. This week’s Ethan Project…
Book Review: Jesus Calling for Little Ones
Some of the sweetest family time takes place during evening devotions each day. The day is winding down, everyone is just a little more quiet, less busy, and more relaxed. My children are extra-snuggly. 🙂 It’s a perfect time to grab a book and share some peaceful moments with your children. This month, Tommy Nelson sent me a copy of…

ETHAN Project- Week 3- Enjoy the Flavor
Are you enjoying your summer? We have been having a blast! Last week’s Ethan Project challenge to Share the View was very special for our family. I took two of my boys to the place where Paul proposed to me so many years ago. Thinking back to that time has been good for my marriage. It was a special memory…
