I've just finished re-reading the 8 book Little House on the Prairie books!!!!!! These are my original books from my childhood (remember the yellow boxed set?). I started reading Farmer Boy because it is one of the SL Readers than Hugs will be reading this year, and I just decided to read them all. I really did enjoy them this time around, and I know I appreciate more the glimpses of homemaking more now than I did as a child. Thank you Hoover vacuums, Whirpool dishwashers, Kenmore friges, and Maytag washers and dryers!!!
Speaking of vacuums, ours just died. 10 years out of a Kenmore Whisperlight vacuum. Not too bad, I guess.
I am currently reading The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades. Quite a juxtaposition from Little House, huh?
We are a Christian family educating our 3 boys: Hugs (8), Smiley (5), and Giggles (2). We've chosen to use mostly classical homeschooling methods, though this could change as the Lord leads us. I've started this blog because I have wanted to journal about our homeschooling experience, and life in general, but it is nearly impossible to sit with paper and pen. So, I'll write about where the Lord is leading our homeschool, how we're doing with it, and other bits about life with 3 boys.
(Yes, I realize that my boys will hate their online monikers in a few more years!)
