Autumn Falling

Autumn Falling

I woke up this morning and it had happened. During the night the wind blew down 90% of the leaves in my backyard. I can see my neighbors again. Yuck.  They can see me. I doubt they’re looking, but I don’t like the exposure. That title up there, Autumn Falling, has been in my head […]

Changes – Saving a Blogger’s Sanity

Nothing brings out the rage in me like technical problems here. I hate them. When I first started blogging (5 years ago now) I had tons of patience to sit and figure things out. I learned a ton about WordPress. I learned that I have no tolerance for any other blogging platform. I’ve tried them […]

Stuck in the Middle with You

Remember that scene from Reservoir Dogs, when they play this song and Micheal Madsen does a little dance? I would link to it, but it’s a bit harsh. I heard it last week and had to do the dance. And then I realized I was in a public place, making a fool of myself to […]

Does Writing Make You Happy?

Does Writing Make You Happy?

I think writing makes me happy. I say that I want to write, that I need more time to write, that I miss it when I ‘m not writing. So, today, I wrote all day. I usually only get to write in bits and pieces these days. I started around 9 AM. It’s now 5:45. I took […]

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

The following post is a flashback, written shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme and put on a restricted diet. Years later,  I’m still on it. I’m still dealing with Lyme. A true addict, I’m still craving the sweet stuff. A few things are essential to my happy survival. They are faith, hope, love and until […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

We’ve recently had the pleasure of trying out the Monthly Plan from Creating a Masterpiece, which provides my girls with excellent video based art […]
