Memories and Connection

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I was gone to Layton, Utah, for Mother’s Day weekend for a special occasion. My dad’s siblings had planned a surprise 90th birthday celebration/Mother’s Day commemoration for their mother, my only living grandparent. The highlight was to be that all seven siblings would come together (which hasn’t happened in about 20 years, I […]

The Horrible Irony of it . . .

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

So, after recently posting about living without fear, crime and tragedy hits our quiet little country lane last night. Two neighbors, four and five houses away from us, respectively, apparently have had difficulties with each other; mainly, the fifth neighbor toward the fourth neighbor (the fifth neighbor having a history of this type of […]

Child-Led Learning

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Christine over at Thinking Things Through wrote a post about how she started to realize that she was still being parent-vested (or motivated) versus trusting that what emanates from within the child will be worthy of the time and space necessary for the process to evolve into what we are so conditioned to strive for: […]

Personality Typing

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

I’ve done this before, but I saw it over at Throwing Marshmallows.  I have a feeling I’m different every time. (Yep, see this post.) What’s interesting as I answered the questions is that I could recognize how my children changed me. For instance, I definitely value my alone time after being a […]

Success or Failure?

Friday, December 29th, 2006

My post is up at Life Without School titled Success or Failure? It continues my story about my son’s decision about his relationship with formal academics as well as his path to adulthood and how that would look. This is where it was supposed to end “happily ever after”, but as he has done all […]

Ten Random Things About Me

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Stephanie at A Room of My Own tagged me to do a meme naming ten random things about myself. I feel so special Of course, after reading various other blogger’s responses, I always then have a hard time coming up with my own original categories, but I’ll give it a good try . . […]

Life Without School Post - Bookworms

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Yeah! My post is up at Life Without School entitled “Bookworms”. When I wrote it a few weeks ago, it just flowed off my fingertips. It’s my preface musings before I want to write a post that delves a little bit more into the reading world of my children. But, I wanted this posted […]

Oh My Gosh!

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

It’s my hubby and I’s anniversary today, and we both forgot . . . LOL! When I posted the previous post, I saw the date, and went, oh my gosh! and looked over at my hubby, who is on the other computer across from me, and I stated, “It’s our anniversary today!” He went, “Oops!”
Well, […]

Busy Week . . . So Much to Write About

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

There is so much going on for me to keep my nose above the water with . . . too much to explain to everyone. Basically, it is the nitty gritty of getting interventions going for each of my three boys with special needs, and the day to day workings and needs of seven children.
Anyway, […]

Rosetta Stone Homeschool Special

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Since I brought up Rosetta Stone on my recent meme, and then I saw a comment on it at Throwing Marshmallows, I thought I would bring up the special I received in the mail. Since I said I wanted to get it for a couple of my children, but the price is so big, I […]
