This video is over an hour long, but it is all the members of the South Georgia Strings Project playing a various times. My kids and husband are at the beginning, you should check them out.

I have had a small obsession with making Chocolate Chess Pie recently. So much so that I made three of them in a week. (Don't judge, I shared. The first one I made just for dessert, the second one I made because we had company, and the third one I made to show my friend how awesome it was.) Joshua told me that I...
Karol, Margaret, and Joshua are taking violin lessons through the South Georgia Strings Project. I am very thankful for this option here in South Georgia for my kids to learn a musical instrument, especially at such a low cost. Take a look at this video from the Strings Project: ...

The kids ate full meals at each meal time, oatmeal with peaches for breakfast, bread, butter, cottage cheese, and fruit at lunch, and leftover fish and peas for dinner. For my full meal (which Joshua and I had when we got...
This year, I have been working on ways to make my grocery budget less of the "I have no idea what I'm spending each month" and more of the "I have $X to spend on groceries this month and this is what I did with it" type. As we were nearing the season of Lent, I was thinking of meals we could have that would be...
