  • Vacation Gone Wrong

    My husband and I decided to “get away from it all” and go on a family vacation for about 5 days. Just get some much needed R&R and enjoy being with the kids. It all started with a night out roller skating with friends, before leaving town for a little trip to Orlando. What a bad idea! I have loved...

  • Would You Accidentally Run Over Your Own Family?

    When I saw the headline for this story, it immediately caught my attention. Before looking into the entire story, I had to wonder - Who could run over their family? Was it intentional? What were the circumstances? Would you accidentally run over your own family? Well, the details were much different...

  • More Reasons Why I HomeSchool

    I read not one, but two appalling stories today in the news about children and the public school system. I could not have decided to homeschool at a better time. Not sure what area this story is from, but two fifth-graders were recently arrested for selling marijuana at their elementary school. My oldest...

    I normally don’t watch the Extreme Home Makeover show, however, friends and family contacted us last night to watch this special Tallahassee, FL episode of a large family who desperately needed a new home.

  • The Perfect Storm

    What does that term really mean? What is the perfect storm? To me, when you say “storm”, that means something bad. It could mean thunder, lightning, hail, strong winds, flying debris, falling trees, power outages and more. None of that seems to be the perfect circumstance to me. There was a movie with...

  • Spanking Children

    Is “spanking children” a part of the job description for a school official? Yes, those of you who read my blog know that I homeschool now, and although this is not the reason why, it does help me feel it was the right decision. A local vice principal “paddled” an 11 year old boy last month for bad behavior...
