I’ve been totally MIA from my blog the last few weeks. Things have been especially hectic around my house, and blogging fits at the bottom of the to-do pile.
After breaking down in North Carolina three weeks ago, our van is finally running again – praise God! I took the boys to [...]

As I said in my Things I Learned post, it’s almost impossible to visit a homeschool convention book fair and not purchase something. We went to the conference with three things in mind that we wanted to purchase for the boys for the upcoming year. It’s always exciting (to me, anyway) to get [...]
