October 27, 2010

The moms remained, [...]

My 15- and 9-year-old sons attended our homeschool group’s annual Mother/Son Outing this Friday and Saturday, a magical excursion to a secluded 4H camp in the mountains. Hiking; bonfires; s’mores (give me some more!); bonding with your sons; adult conversation; hot apple cider—what more could we add to our third year of this family favorite [...]

Reader Questions Day 3: Stuff from Sprittibee

October 11, 2010

The blog has been a little slow lately. I’m so busy watching Oprah and eating bon bons that there really isn’t time to blog (I haven’t actually seen Oprah in years; however, if you put a plate of bon bons in front of me they would engage my full attention). I have a couple of [...]

Classical Conversations of Cumming, Georgia

June 29, 2010

This school year was our family’s 17th as a homeschooling family, and to tell the truth, in years 15 and 16 I struggled with burnout. If the Lord blesses us to homeschool all of our children through to high school graduation, we’ll go for 31 consecutive years; I guess it’s no wonder I hit a [...]
