Catchy title, eh? Not really, I know. I have to admit, this post is mostly self-serving. It’s the index page to our memory work binder that I never got around to making. So I thought, ‘hey, I’ll make a post … Continue reading
And, by that, I do NOT mean that I am a “morning person”. That’s fodder for a whole other post. My favourite part of our homeschool day happens during breakfast. It’s what we (and countless other homeschoolers) call “morning time”. … Continue reading
Well, we’re already a couple of weeks into 2020 so I guess I’m a bit behind with this post. But the weekly calendar has had a refresh and is ready for download. Our family is digitally inclined when it comes … Continue reading
A couple of weeks ago, Belle and I were reading a chapter from George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin. The Princess was following a fine thread attached to the magical ring her mysterious grandmother had given her. This thread … Continue reading
A couple of months ago I was staying alone in a foreign country. I had to walk through the city after dark to meet friends. It was only a twenty minute walk, and it was relatively early in the evening…but … Continue reading

Does anyone else get excited to start new routines in their spiritual life when a calendar year flips over? I always look forward to switching things up in my quiet time routine. I enjoy deciding how to tackle my Bible … Continue reading

It’s not everyday you get to lay eyes on a seemingly never ending array of original famous works of art. My eyes beheld so many today my brain is swimming in beauty. Hours later I still have an involuntary grin! … Continue reading
Well, week #2 of our vacation has begun! We are now in Virginia (after an excruciatingly slow drive down I-95 on Saturday). We weren’t sure why it was so stop-and-go, but apparently the traffic around here is like that 24/7. … Continue reading
