Hi! Welcome to my blog! My name is Jane (PlainJane) and I am the blessed and happy wife to Jeff and doubly blessed mama of two perfectly wonderful daughters. Please join me as I share our Lifestyle of Learning through Christian homeschooling and homesteading on our little hobby farm with our prairie girls.
Bookworm is our dd14/9th grader.
Our perfectionist and over-achiever. She loves reading, playing violin, her Paint horse, Annie, being a farm girl, and History re-entacting.
Ladybug
is our dd11/6th grader.
Our "girls just want to have fun" girl. She loves to play and has a great sense of humor, but also likes reading, music, her Quarter Horse, Kitty, and History re-enactment.
We are finished reading
the Moody books
By Sarah Maxwell
and HIGHLY recommend them

he said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you -- THEY ARE YOUR LIFE. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess." Deuteronomy 32:46-47
Apr. 9, 2008~ This & That ~
Woohoo!
My dh (my hero) fixed my photos & imaging and I'm back in business. So just to get caught up a bit...
First of all, my friend Deb, tagged me quite a while ago (2.5 wks to be exact) on a "What's on Your Refrigerator?" meme, and although I now reserve the right to do or not do tags, I decided to play along, although I won't pass this one on unless you want to play. Here's mine:
Kinda boring I know...I have my monthly menu, the girl's chore chart, Ladybug's choir schedule, a magazine photo with a paint color (nutmeg) that I am contemplating for the family room, a couple of pictures of my one and only nephew, a postcard from a dear friend in CA :), a library book due slip, and misc. magnets from a few trips, the vet, and the Paint Horse Association.
Deb and I are swapping fridge magnets -- I get one from Ireland and she gets one from Minnesota. Somehow I think I got the better end of that deal. lol Hi Deb!
Next I'd like to brag a bit ~ yesterday we had our Ruby Girls Bible Study and for our Proverbs 31 life skill, the girls were taught how to make pie. Bookworm & Ladybug each did a wonderful job of making their first pies. We froze Bookworm's, and baked Ladybug's pie as soon as we got home last night -- here it is fresh from the oven.
It was delicious!!! Flaky crust! Oh, and it's apple!
Well, our snow is finally gone...just in time to be again under another winter storm watch -- as of the last update, we are now expecting 10-14 inches of snow here by Saturday, but I do so hope they are wrong. (But now you know why I haven't started my garden yet).
Lastly, the first one to comment on this post will be my 2000th comment. Woohoo! I can't think of anything to give away - why don't you just come for a piece of pie and some warm conversation. :) I soooo appreciate all of you who stop by ~ so many of you have become more than just cyber friends. I appreciate each one of you!
Well I'm not the 2000th, but I think coming over for pie and conversation would be a wonderful gift. The pie looks yummy.
I have so many pictures covering my fridge, but I have to get better magnets for them, they keep moving. Your fridge looks so neat and organized. :)

10-14 more inches of snow! Wow! I'll pray that they pass you by.
I'll bet those pies were wonderful to eat! My frig door is not as exciting as yours. (-:
Mama Karen
Yipee!! Pie and adult conversation!! Let's have the rest of the bloggers come too. Wouldn't that be fun! I'll hop on the next flight :)
(maybe not the next flight -- when does the temp reach 75 there?)
Corey
I love apple pie, hers looks so yummy. I might have to surprise my husband with one this weekend.
Please, no more snow. We got an inch the other day. I don't want anymore. I believe the rule here is no garden till after Mother's Day, even then your taking a chance.
Donna
How fun! Looks similar to mine, I try to weed out magnets and fridge clutter every time we move LOL. I still have a magnet from Camp Snoopy in the Mall of America lol. DH doesn't like to buy memory magnets so we are slim on the travel souvenirs.
Stop by later, I'm making a slide-show for Curu's bday :)
Denise
Yummy! I love things like this I have never heard of Ruby girls until you. I just could not get anyone around here that I know interested in such things. I sometimes feel like the only Mom that wanted to teach any thing dealing with being a keeper at home.
Melissa
and stranger things have happened, I am 2010, which is cool because that's the centenary year for girlguiding .....
but I digress. That pie looks good. Would it ship, do you think?
I must see if I can find you a fridge magnet .....
