This song has become super-crazy meaningful to me this year. It gets away from the normal Christian cliche's, and has fresh phrasing: [His love is] like a hurricane, I am tree bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy . . . . . . we are His portion {wow} and He is our […]

Session Timer Program
I did not write today’s post. Oh no. This is a post from Jason, my genius husband (who is the one who actually keeps Homeschool Share afloat!). He wrote a computer program that automatically boots our kids off the computer when their time is up. I love it. I don’t have to monitor the time […]

Our Routine
One of my readers asked me to post our sample schedule. I will tell you my secret: schedules have never worked for us. Ever. I don’t like feeling like a clock has control over me or my next move. However, I’ve realized that it’s hard to function as wife, mom, and homeschooling mom without some […]
Delight-Directed Update
pattern block creation Elijah constructed in his free time Getting the hang of this delight-directed thing is still hard for me. I don’t know if I make it harder than it is, or if I just like to agonize over my child’s education. Probably both! But, I’m learning. Here are some of the things I’ve […]
Brick by Brick
This is what the floor of Elijah & Simon’s room looked like about a week ago. It was hard for him to find parts; it was hard for anyone to walk across the floor. It drove me MAD. When I started looking around for Lego storage methods, I found something I liked, but when I asked […]
The Best Nest (more fun from Albert)
The lessons for this book (Albert) also suggest some clay-making. So, we did! Due to a recent find in our yard, Elijah decided to mold and make robin eggs instead of cardinal eggs. I think the end result turned out grand! Elijah’s nest The real nest!

Tot School ~ June 8th
More workboxes. More fun. More memories with my tot! Simon’s "Sprinkles" Project I put some contact paper and leftover hole punchings in a workbox.

Poetry and Popularity
I don’t know if you know this about me (or care), but I love poetry. I mean it in the most sincere, un-flippant way; I L-O-V-E the written word in poem form. I had a little claim-to-fame encounter this past weekend; it reminded me of a poem I memorized for presentation while taking a poetry writing class my […]
