Learning to Be a Country Girl
I married a “Good “Ol’ Country Boy”. He’s not a farmer or a rancher, but he certainly loves being outdoors working, fishing, hunting and just enjoying nature. He loves living in the country and would most certainly spend the majority of his time outdoors if he could. And that’s great. But, there’s a problem. I came from a big …
Traveling From Home – North Carolina
This week was “crazy busy” with all kinds of activities and meetings. Because of that we didn’t pick out a special country to learn about. That means that we also didn’t do any special ethnic foods this week. But, we did actually travel to a location in North Carolina. Since my last “traveling” report we …
Traveling From Home – China
This week our family “traveled” to China. Our week was loaded with other activities as well (including the Geography Fair and presenting Ethiopia to the attendees) so we didn’t have a chance to look at any potential shows on the Travel Channel. But, we did find out a lot of other information and enjoyed great …
Geography Fair
Our local Home School Association hosted a Geography Fair tonight. Kids from all over the county participated, presenting a number of different countries around the world. I was really proud of all of the kids. They clearly worked hard on their presentations. My little guy and I put a presentation together on Ethiopia. Since this …
Headaches Are A Pain In The Head!
I am sitting here with a throbbing headache that has gotten worse throughout the day. I’ve tried to walk, sit, lay down to rest, and even sleep. I did doze off, but woke up with a worse headache. Nothing seems to be working today. So, the only thing I can think of is to just get on with it …
Traveling from Home – Introduction
As of this week, we have decided to add an activity to Homeschool and our family experience. We will be learning and eating our way around the world. I think it’s important for people to know about countries and cultures other than their own, so we’ve decided to broaden our horizons. Since we are homeschooling, …
Leadership Thought #320 – People Only Make You Feel Small If You Let Them
Reblogged from Ed Robinson's Blog: We can’t control what other people say or do, but we can control how we respond to it. It’s important to always remember that no one can make you feel anything; you choose to feel that way. It’s amazing how a few unkind words or obvious negative body language can affect …
Broken Cars, Allergies and Errands
Today has been a full day. Usually Mondays are my “weigh-in and reporting day”. But, I hit the floor running and have been going ever since. It didn’t even occur to me to get on the scale. My car broke down yesterday on the way to church and we had to leave it by the …
One of Those Days…
This really has been one of those days… I’ve been “headachy” and tired all day long. So, what did I do? I resorted to eating comfort foods, bread and sweets. I made homemade ginger crinkle cookies (so good… and a family favorite). We even had homemade pizza for dinner tonight using Jamie Oliver’s pizza dough recipe …
Made In China
The Health of Our Famillies Is Important For the most part, I have been a “made in the USA” kind of consumer. It’s important to me to support jobs here in the US because I live in the US. But, there are also products where the components are made oversees and shipped to the US …
