Sarah Palin is Stepping Down :'( by Peaceful Meadows Sarah Palin said that she will not seek Re-election in 2010 and that it’s best for Alaska’s future and will transfer the power of governor to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell in a few weeks. She feels that this would be in Alaska’s best interests. I am a huge supporter of Sarah Palin and this saddens me but I totally understand. Her children have been attacked mercilessly and her family has been run through the mill. I pray that she will continue to be an advocate for traditional values, polictical reform, and for special needs children. Best wishes, Governor Palin. May the Lord... (more)
Independance Day Thoughts by Peaceful Meadows I am so thankful for our country. We have been so blessed and I think that has caused us to take many things for granted. Our freedom is one thing that we take for granted and we are becoming reckless with it. I fear that our complacency is going to be the cause of the death of our great nation. We are supper vigilant about attacks from the outside but our destruction will come from the inside. Not with guns but with changes to the law here and there while we slumber and bask in our complacency. Abraham Lincoln once said,... (more)
The Lord is Faithful by Ai Boon Hello my friends. By God's grace, I am back in your community. For those of you who knew me from the old blog, thank you for keeping me in prayer. How great God is and on this day, may He shower upon the beautiful nation of USA the best He has planned for her and her people. May the Lord bless your nation from His storehouse of wonders and miracles. Happy Independence Day! Rejoice in the name of the Lord. He is faithful because He loves us to distraction. He is good and will transform your impossible situation by the power of... (more)
Fourth of July, Patriotism and The War Prayer by mpetit I just finished The War Prayer by Mark Twain with drawings by John Groth. Here is a link to the text on Wikipedia - there seems to be quite a bit available by Google but I didn't read any of them. I just read the book from the library. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_War_Prayer To some, it is just another day off, a day to play and have fun. To some, vets especially, it is a day to remember. But tonight I asked myself this .... what did Jesus Yashua say? ... what did He mean by what He said? What would He do? What did... (more)
They're here!!! by Homeschool moms know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox! The triplets have arrived! I'm just starting to feel somewhat like myself and I'm sorry I didn't post until now, but things were so crazy. Adelynn Elizabeth arrived first at 9:39 and was 4 lbs. 14 ozs. and 18 1/2 inches!

It's Out!! by MoreOfHim The new Summer issue of "The Old Schoolhouse" is out and on the newsstands - with my article in it! I was so excited to see it! I had picked up my mail before going to physical therapy and had to take it in to show all the therapists! LOL Here's what the front cover of the magazine looks like: I'm so happy with how it came out, although, I was shocked at how large a picture they put in of my hubby and I!

25 random things by Jennifer I was recently "tagged" on Facebook to share 25 random things about myself. After completing the list I decided to share it here, too. 1. At 25 I was about to be a new Mommie. 2. I have already worked my dream job (NICU OT) and left it. Maybe I'll look into that again when my kids are grown. 3. Moving back "home" near my parents and Grandparents was a great decision. 4. My wonderful husband built our house. That amazes me. 5. I enjoy homeschooling our kids. 6. Nothing in life prepared me enough for parenting, especially our son. 7. My girls and I have... (more)
Sign the Declaration of Independence! by Jennifer Did you know that you and your children can sign the Declaration of Independence? Thanks to the National Archives, you can sign and print your own copy of the Declaration. What better way to remind us all of what made this country so great (especially in these days of government run truly amok) on the 4th of July? Read it; sign it. Celebrate our nation. Happy Independence Day! SIGN HERE. ... (more)
Exploratorium by Jenne Today we went on a field trip to San Francisco. We went to the Exploratorium and the Palace of Fine Arts and then drove past Fisherman's Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge. It was very cool. I am very tired. The pictures are still in the camera. So you get pictures of the last time I got the super tired, when we deweeded the yard. On to the more nerve racking part... Wednesday night I had a migraine. It was the first one since mid-April. I was shocked and rather annoyed. I thought I had finally gotten rid of them. And... (more)
Some of our family is hurting at this time. by sissyd We have been praying for family and friends. We had my step dads aunt to die last week. We had my sister in laws husbands dad to die just a few days ago. We had a friend to lose his grandfather about two weeks ago. So they are hurting right now. I dont think that the pain will go away until after this life. ... (more)

We are getting ready to go on a trip to Dallas TX. by sissyd We are getting ready to go to TX. We are going to spend time with my cousin and good friend Suellen. We are going to go a little shopping and a little R&R while we are down there. My dad is coming to stay with the dogs, cat, and fish.

We have been waiting now for over a month for dr. appointment. by sissyd We have been waiting for a month now to get a dr.'s appt. for hubby. It seems like they dont care if he gets better or not.

Super quick post for odd reasons. by I am Free to Speak. Alright, every now and again I'm going to go all Normal blog on you guys, but don't scream in absolute horror! The eyes will not melt out of your sockets!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to stop making posts at night. I seem to get more sarcastic when I'm tired. But come on. Sleep is for mortals. See? Sarcastic. But enough of my (almost) midnight cynicism! Soooooo...what do you think of my music? This may be a debate blog, but come on. I'm only (in appearance) human! Extra heart, ability to see time in flux...but (in appearance) human! Any one of you get that reference? Don't even try to google it. I... (more)

Christmas in July by Julia in Sk. I love getting homeschool packages in the mail--especially when they are books! I had to order some things for my change of mind in history. I thought that we were going to do Ancient History this coming year but, as usual, I changed my mind and now we are going to do a head-spinning tour through the entire history cycle. I have all of my resources for Ancient History for next year but now I have to come up with something for this coming year. Enter Rainbow Resource. I love that place. It is my one-stop shopping place. I... (more)

My nephews were here also and they were playing on it before it was even finished. We had fun watching them play on it. ... (more)
Jesse turns 10! by Marsha Anne It sure doesn't seem long for my little ones to grow up. Jesse turned 10 on July 1st and that's a big deal in our house. For most birthdays we don't do "parties" in the usual sense, instead we let the birthday child pick out a birthday cereal (that's a big deal because Shredded Wheat and Raisin Bran is a staple here), plan a "theme", and pick out the birthday dinner. Chores are off-limits for the birthday kid, which is always a good thing. Grandma and Grandpa come over and help us celebrate with cake and presents. However, turning 10... (more)
2009-2010 Here We Come!!!!!! Ready or Not!!! by Birdie For the 2009-2010 school year Dear Son and I will be doing My Father's World curriculum. We were so unsure as to what to do this year. Dear Daughter is growing up and doesn't enjoy one on one teaching anymore. This last year she really pulled away from it. She asked me if I could make out a list of what needed to be done and if she could just do it on her own. I agreed and she did remarkably well. She really did seem ready to venture out on her own. I did continue with read alouds... (more)
Memorial Day 2009 by Marsha Anne We had a really wonderful Memorial Day. The weather was absolutely perfect...which always is a plus. Our children plus several of the neighborhood kids did their own parade. They'd been planning it for the last few days and even had "meetings" to get ready. It was really cute and all of the neighbors came out on their porches to watch. Here they come! Our little patriots. Shortly after the parade, we drove to my aunt's house in Charlotte. We had three new babies this year, Isaac, Kira, & Matthew AND two pregnant mama's...my cousin Marianne & myself. It wouldn't be Memorial Day without cuddling... (more)

Check out our vacation Souvenir! by Marsha Anne The day before Mother's day I got this gift: Ryan and I are thrilled! Baby #5 is on the way and we couldn't be happier. This is a baby we've wanted for a long time, but seemed out of our reach. I have a history of lots of miscarriages, so we're praying that this little one is healthy and strong. I'm due January 15th, so it'll be my first winter baby. Pretty cool Mother's Day gift, huh? ... (more)
TEXAS 2009 by Marsha Anne May 5th we left for a two-week trip to Texas. It's a two day drive, so we broke it up with a stop to Nashville, TN to visit the Parthenon. We just finished studying it in History, so it was neat to see it close-up. While we were in Texas we visited 3 of Ryan's siblings...two in Dallas and one just outside of Houston. It was so nice to visit and get to know all of our nieces and nephews that we rarely get to see. We also drove to Galveston to play in the Gulf, toured NASA, drove to Austin... (more)

Happy Birthday Josiah by Marsha Anne As you can tell, I've gotten behind on my blog. Let me catch you up. I left off on April 29th, which also was Josiah's 11th birthday. We gave him a "Mario" party which delighted him. The cake design is almost entirely his idea. This was our first attempt at a 3-D cake and I think it turned out pretty well. His favorite gift was a giant Nerf gun and a huge case of Nerf bullets. Eleven years old! I can't believe time is going so fast. Happy Birthday Josiah....We're crazy about you!!! ... (more)
Happy 4th of July! by Iriss Hi everybody, I apologize for not writing in a few days, but between school and the state fair (me and my sister enter the state fair every year, and yes, with the exception of August and December, we school year round). (It's a "take a vacation when we need to" thing.) It's hard to find time to write. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend, and maybe (once I learn how to put pictures on my blog) next time you can see some of the things I'm working on. Have a great day! God Bless. Iriss P:S My current obsession is... (more)

Greetings From the Reformation 500 by KayinMaine Wow! What an amazing three days we have had! We have met some wonderful families, listened to some fascinating speakers, learned some interesting historical facts, delved into some deep theological teaching, walked the freedom trail, and had lunch in Boston Common. My children have met some of the great reformers of the past (reenacters, dressed in costume and portraying historical figures) and we had the privilege of hearing the very talented Charlie Zahm perform. My husband got to meet and talk with both Geoff Botkin and Kevin Swanson (the highlight for him so far) and I got to enjoy "fitting... (more)
From Tiny To Teen Introduction by 4mykids Welcome to my blog. From Tiny To Teen began as an outlet and record keeping journal of our homeschooling days. When I began writing I had four kiddos of my own, ages 6 and under. My 16 year old cousin moved in and added even more adventure. This blog quickly took on a life of its own. My cousin is now back with her parents. She left me with a spunk, ambition and this special little place to share my days and my writings. Here you'll find reviews of mom-friendly books and homeschool curriculum. You'll peek into our school days and see... (more)
Independence Day Thoughts in 2009 by Cynthia Robin Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. ~Psalm 22:4 I am always amazed when I think of our country's forefathers. The first settlers from England have always fascinated me...their bravery, their fortitude, their inner drive to move to a new place and start their lives all over again for the sake of freedom--freedom to believe in and worship God, freedom to live the lives they knew they were supposed to live without persecution. How many hearts were broken when they boarded the ships to leave the only home they had ever known? How many women were blindly... (more)

owww... by Michelle I'm painfully reminded why I never plant bush beans---oh my aching back!!! But I just couldn't pass up the free seeds!! My c-section is officially scheduled--this is a new thing for me since usually my Dr lets me go into labor and then book it as fast as we can to the hospital for an "emergency" c-section. He had some pretty logical reasoning behind scheduling though, other than the typical "the incision could rupture" line which I've heard a gazillion times so we decided to go with it. I'm having a difficult time making rice crispy treats of all the things--the marshmallows... (more)

before the storm by Kate Seawolf *sigh* That is my new fave Jonas song. It's so purdy... Anyhoo, thought I might share something interesting. I was just thinking to myself one day, (and I totally forgot to post about it, forgive me) that since Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, he must have look a lot (I mean A LOT) like his mom. You know, since the he was conceived by the spirit and "the spirit has not a body like we do", so he must've looked like his mum. Interesting, huh? It's mom and dad's 20th anniversary! They left to spend the night at this hotel... (more)

Unlocking Learning Potential: Summer at the Center, July 2009 News by Homeschool Nations - Washington State Unlocking Learning Potential July, 2009 Summer at the Center Except for short times here and there, we are HERE for you this summer. While we all like to “take the summer off” there is only one sector in society that really does that – school. In life we usually take shorter times off. For individuals of all ages who have learning challenges, “taking the summer off” can be devastating. Have you ever noticed that the first six weeks of school is just review? If you take shorter times off, not as much time is needed for review. Summer is an excellent time... (more)

Workbox Ideas by Diane I have read so many blogs over the past week about families that use the workbox system. Everyone talks so much about going to places like the dollor store, target, etc and getting really great things to put in the boxes. I don't know if it is because I am looking for older children items or what but I really haven't been finding anything that is that good. I did find alot of items from the dollar tree to go in my reward box. To start the school year off with as little grumbling as possible I have decided to... (more)

We are having a blast! Since I don't have a lot of time right now, I just had to share with you what our youngest, Ana, said last night. She was playing in the bathtub and kept opening and closing the shower door. She opened it and had a funny little smile on her face and said, "I like my life, Mommy! Do you like your life too?" I said, "I... (more)
Vacation Collage by fulltime mom We took an ultimate field trip this month to many different destinations on the East Coast and it was a blast! I had an idea before we left to collect brochures and things like that from the places we visited to make a collage with after we got home, as a recap of our trip! So we did it last night. I started out with a blank outline map of the USA and pointed out on the map on our wall each state we visited or traveled through, and the kids had to match the shape on their blank outline map...

A couple of Mark funny moments by Kim My sweet silly boy. The other day Mark asked if he could get something out of his closet. I was busy doing other stuff and the next time I see Mark this is how he was dressed: I tell him how very handsome he looks. He says "this is my spy outfit. Don't you think I look like a spy" Yes, definitely. :-) Today he was swimming with Bethany and Sam. Here is our conversation: Me: Mark Mark: Yes, mommy. Me: Remember that Bethany has to wear those special ear plugs for her ears and so she can't hear very well. If you need to... (more)

JONAS is about a band of 3 brothers who are superstars, but trying to live a normal life, and going to school at the same time.

Embroidering on Velvet by KLM Recently someone asked me embroider a velvet skirt for a Irish dancing solo dress- it has been a learning experience! You need to hoop the stableizer and spray on an adhesive to attach the velvet to. I've been told that it would help if there was a long basting stitch bordering the design to keep it in place. Also, I need to remember that the design should only be resized +/- 20% for best results. I'll write to let you know how it turns out. ... (more)
MEXICO! by Lynnie In November Rebecca is going to Mexico!

In this story, the main character, I Believe Bunny A.K.A. “Bunny”, walks in the beautiful glen enjoying the day when it started to rain. Even with the rain, Bunny’s friends, some pretty butterflies, want him to play with them. He declines, but then hears something that gets his attention – a small mouse is stuck in the water and doesn’t know how to swim... (more)
Held Hostage by Ken Cooper by Tinab Having just read Held Hostage by Ken Cooper, an Advance Reading Copy from Bethany House, I’m still amazed at how he pulled off his double life. Ken Cooper was an addict. He was addicted to the rush of adrenaline he got by robbing banks. He was also a publicity director for a Christian college at the same time, married, with kids. How can someone work for a Christian organization yet be so filled with evil? I cannot fathom this. Guess it’s hypocrisy at its best. However, Ken’s story doesn’t end there. After being shot and almost killed, God performs a... (more)

Happy Birthday America! by Bronwyn 'Tis fine to see the Old World and travel up and down Among the famous palaces and cities of renown, To admire the crumblyh castles and the statues and kings But now I think I've had enough of antiquated things. So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom, beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

Passions by Belinda Letchford This week I’ve been thinking about passion – what is my passion? What is passion? Thanks to Hollywood we think of romantic passion but I believe there is more. Jesus was passionate – Paul was passionate – the early Christians were passionate. The early Christians – they turned the world upside down! You can’t do that without passion. But what about me? Am I passionate about the things God would have me be passionate about. I think of Paul again – as Saul he was a passionate man, and yet Jesus apprehended him and he came to see that the... (more)
A new addition to our family by Cassie Everyone welcome our newest family member, Scamper the baby duck. Isn't he adorable!? He was found on our front porch the day Jill and I got back from camp. (Exactly one week ago on Friday). The poor little thing was lost and couldn't find it's mommy, so we decided to give him a home! He has already grown some, as you can tell by these pictures: The only problem is where to put him when he is bigger. I guess we will deal with it as it comes. ~Cassie~ ... (more)

Inspirational and Encouraging Art by a Homeschool Dad in the United Kingdom by Homeschool Nations - Washington State STEPPING STONES by Billy The art is a set of work featuring my three children titled 'Stepping Stones' based on scriptures as limited Edition prints of 1000 signed and numbered. The education scene is 'Your Education is Your Life - Guard it Well' (image attached) which you as a Homeschooler (like us too) endeavor to do, a music scene based on Psalm 100 v1, a gardening and work scene. The art has been compared to Norman Rockwell which is a high honor for me. You can view the paintings and their details via this link http://www.billyart.co.uk/stepping_stones_art/stepping_stones_art_by_billy.html I have... (more)
Vacation pictures pt. 4 by Cassie I had all these really great Williamsburg pictures, but there were too many to put in one slideshow. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'll have to find out soon because I still have to show them at our unit celebration! (It got canceled and it still hasn't been rescheduled). LAST FEW DAYS ~Cassie ... (more)
Afternoon Tea by NotetoSelf After attending an afternoon tea yesterday, I've decided to start having an afternoon tea time again with our children. We used to do this when the older ones were little. With Howdy and Posie at nice ages for this activity, we'll begin again. I'm hoping to read from Bennett's Book of Virtues and other inspirational material each afternoon. I found my inspiration to do this after listening to a very passionate speaker at yesterday's tea. He stressed the importance of taking responsibility for our own actions. What better way to learn responsibility than to demonstrate it and read about it... (more)
Happy Fourth of July! by Amanda I hope you're all planning for lots of fun and relaxation this weekend! We're going to a friend's home for a cookout tomorrow. I don't think Steve is coming with us--he'll be getting some sleep. I'm making brownies, maybe cookies (it's awfully muggy to be baking), and a salad--I need to make sure that there is something that I can eat! I'm also bringing my own fat free hot dogs. Going out can be such a pitfall when you're on a diet! -- Remember me saying that I found my picture disks? Here's a pic of the kids from only 3 years... (more)
Cliffsmoore as it was in Avrannian Grounds 2 by The Inklings Here is part of a story I wrote not very long ago, it is supposed to be part of book 2 in the Avrannian Grounds series. With a sudden, startling jolt the vehicle ceased to drive, the swirling of the countryside flashing past the windows recovered to a steady scene, the front window saw dust flying up, the engine noise stopped, and the sudden silence was as such a suprise to them, as light is when it flashes from a second's notice out of the dark and into shining brightness allround... it was dazzling to the ears. "Stalled,"muttered Mr... (more)
What I did Today by Nessa Hi again! Today my dad, my brother, and I went to see Ice Age 3. It was a pretty good movie. Funny too xD Tomorrow is the Fourth of July and I can't wait! We're going to dip strawberries and bannanas in chocolate, have chicken, chips, and use sparklers! It's going to be awesome! Well, I'll tell you about it when tomorrow passes. Adios! ~Vanessa ...

I have not forgotten...completely by tsinclair My DH and I were actually disagreeing about the time frame of an incident when I remembered that I had blogged about it. So, I went digging and found it (I was right by the way). It was somewhat emotional to read over the past blogs. Which, in turn made me remember why I wanted to start blogging. So I am going to make an attempt to resume my blogging activities. Now, I realize that our life is somewhat boring and I am not expecting anything other than memories and reflection. Right now we are in the middle of summer in... (more)

Grr. Explorer problems. by Jennifer I usually work with Flock, and have been checking my new blog through it. I just went and opened it in Explorer, only to find that there's a chunk missing along the right-hand side. Now I'm going to have to see if I can fix it. ETA: Huh. I was able to force the table widths - which I hate doing because of variable monitor sizes, but while things still look fine in Flock - they're now all shifted left in Explorer. At least everything can be read now - the text is no longer cut off, but as it's time... (more)

I'm Back by MomOfMany The only thing that has been getting updated on my site is my page count. I haven't stopped scrapping, I just haven't had time to blog. Now I am ready to get motivated and share my great finds with my friends. Today I have added a few links to My Favorite Scrapbooking Links. I was scrapping with a friend last night and we got to chatting about digital scrapbooking. We both agreed that it is something we aren't interested in. I, personally, don't see digi scrapping as a huge $$ saver. I also, more importantly, like...no LOVE to play with paper... (more)
