Welcome to homeschooling! We made the decision to give homeschooling a try when my oldest was four. We are not too far out from wrapping up our seventh year of it. We have a couple of reasons we decided to homeschool at the beginning, but as time goes on we’ve found more and more reasonsContinue reading “Our Homeschool Journey”

Doubt & Faith
Have you ever had thoughts that keep rolling around in your head? Or words you keep hearing? Stories you keep hearing with a similar theme to them? Sometimes it is throughout the day or maybe week, even occasionally over the course of months or years. But when you come across them you either you takeContinue reading “Doubt & Faith”
A Little About Me
It’s been a few weeks, I got a little off track and off our normal rhythm. We each had our round of colds, some of us bounced back faster than others. Or well, the kids and hubby bounced back faster than I did. I know there are some new faces to my blog and IContinue reading “A Little About Me”
January 27, 2011
I wasn’t sure in all honesty what to write about today, but decided to open up and share about this meaning behind this date and why. It may seem like an odd title for a blog post going out on the same day 14 years later. But that day is a day that flipped myContinue reading “January 27, 2011”
Rooted & Refreshed
How do you end one year and begin the next? Do you reflect on the prior year, set goals, or make resolutions? Over the years I have done all of that. Some years I’ve taken most of December to reflect on the year and prepare for the next year. Other years the old one goes,Continue reading “Rooted & Refreshed”
New Year, New Adventures

If you are new around here, we homeschool and have been for the past 6 years. I will share in a futureContinue reading “New Year, New Adventures”
Returning
Hi and Welcome! It has been a long time since putting my fingers to the keyboard and typing. I decided to take a break and I am ready to be back sharing our journey. So much has changed since last writing and I am beginning to get my creative flow back again. The biggest changeContinue reading “Returning”
Making the Most of Where You Are
It is berry piking time for us, at least for the mulberries and strawberries we have. Our strawberry plants are new this year, so the fruit isn’t abundant yet. However, the mulberries are very abundant this year and it takes time to pick. We try to get the kids to help picking and sometimes theyContinue reading “Making the Most of Where You Are”
Detours
It is late Spring and road construction season is upon us. Whether it is major routes closed for the long haul, shifts, or short term projects, you can’t get anywhere without facing the construction and the detours that go with them. At the beginning of June I was visiting family in Northern Wisconsin. There areContinue reading “Detours”
Wish Dandelions
Every Spring we seem to have more and more dandelions in our yard. And we still find them sometimes into October, even November. It seems either you like having them in your yard, or you don’t. I don’t mind having them. It is so beautiful and refreshing to see them, especially after a long Winter.Continue reading “Wish Dandelions”
