Last Few Days….
The last few days have been just crazy around here…LOL Thursday afternoon the Profession Bull Riders Association finally offered my husband, Bill, a job! We are ecstatic! The Lord is sooo awesome!

Kids Say the Darnedest Things
A couple of weeks ago on Facebook I was tagged in a note about things kids say about thier parents, so I thought I would share here with everyone what my two littlest ones said about me:
1. What is something mom always says to you?

Sammy: Brush your teeth
2. What makes mom happy?
Joey: [...]
Our Field Trip
A couple of weeks ago we took a little field trip to my oldest daughter Nichole’s EMT class. They were needing volunteers to come in so they could work on taking vitals from children and infants. We had a really great time! Joseph was even brave enough to let them strap him to the back board [...]
A Long Week

When we first started school, we had a bar in our family room that we [...]
K12 Online School
As I mentioned in my last post, currently the curriculum we are using is K12/COVA. We just started this program last fall and so far I really have enjoyed using it.
At first I was a not sure if I wanted to use it because it was basically doing public school at home. One of my [...]
Hello world!
Welcome to my FIRST blog. My husband set this up for me as a way to help connect to other home school parents. I hope to share tips and tricks I’ve learned, share about curriculums and creative ideas.
