The house is clean, the baby is happy, schoolwork for the week is done and the grades have been logged, and I'm drinking a beer. I'm documenting this because I'm certain this will never happen again. Joshua is working with a kid on multiplication and long division. The rest of the kids are building Lego. If you...
This weekend I worked on lesson plans for the up coming school year. Since I am using a mix of Memoria Press and Kolbe, it took a big of tweeking, but I think I've got it down. I only wrote a week out for the older three kids, so we have room to adjust if need be. I'm going to admit that my kids are whiners about...

We started with teaching Margaret to read nearly a year and a half ago. It's not been an easy road either. Many days a reading lesson ended in tears (on her end) and frustration (on our end).

Karol was so upset and worried how we were going to have enough eggs. Joshua wasn't home when Karol discovered...
We were up early and dressed to go vote in our state primary for president. It's no secret that I voted for Ron Paul. I wanted to take a picture of it, but I thought it might be against the rules, so I just took a moment to burn the screen in my mind and smiled. I brought the kids back home and got ready to head down...
I did this a few months back and want to get back to it, so here it goes! 🙂 In my life this week… was fairly busy. Joshua worked Labor Day because he had taken Friday off. I took the kids to our friends' house in the afternoon for dinner and visiting. It was a lot of fun, it really did feel like...
As I said in a previous post, I am attempting to get to bed by 10 pm, sans computer, every night. I decided that Friday's can be a "late" night and I can stay up until 11 pm. I doubt I will make that tonight and knowing that, I actually wrote my blog post on paper during our usual causal Friday dinner. Yes, I did...
