About Me

I'm a christian and a wife and a mother of 2 boys whom we've always homeschooled. We live on 6 acres and Dad works from home. Homeschooling provides us our dream lifestyle. Our philosophy is relaxed, eclectic homeschooling, better known as "If it works do it, if it doesn't work stop doing it." I love to hear about what works for others and I love to share what works for us. Welcome to our adventures!

If I had a blog...
Jul. 14, 2008
Well you must all think I'm still sitting by the pool!

It's been a while since I've been on here and no I'm not still sitting by the pool.

I have gotten some of my projects done - like painting my computer desk and our homeschool credenza.  The colors match my kitchen.  I'm pretty happy with the results.  Here are the before and after shots.

 

The next project on my list is to sand and stain my dining room table.  Unfortunately we haven't had a string of really nice days so that I can do it outside.  Maybe next week?

We had some friends from the city visit as well which was lovely.  The kids played with kittens while the Mom's knitted by the pool.  It's nice to be able to just relax with friends.

I did get a little homeschool planning done and even some curriculum bought.  I still have some more to do and will reveal all when everything has been set in place.  It's too soon to be thinking about it yet anyways.

This week the plans are for some movies that the kids want to see, Incredible Hulk, Wall-e and The Dark Knight (Noah is only seeing Wall-e) and we also need to make arrangements for cousin swapping in the next couple of weeks. 

For myself I have a dying class I'm attending on the 21st that I am really excited about.  I've been doing some knitting and spinning but never of course as much as I would like.

Well that's it for me for today, I don't expect to be on again anytime soon - this weekly blogging is fitting in nicely with the relaxed summer months.  I hope you all are enjoying your summer as well.
