In Case Your Fretting...

Read this great post by The Thinking Mother: Homeschooling: Think, Decide, Then Start---Just Do It! She gives some great reasons for not getting caught up in the quagmire of home educators' indecision regarding curriculum choices and methods of home education! A good weekend read!

May God Bless your day!

You Know It's Been a Good Day When...

...you come home from the library and the first thing everyone wants to do is show the others what books they've all picked out and start reading them right away!

A Few More Things

It seems we've caught the haiku bug here as well thanks to Haiku of a Homeschooler's beautiful poetry and inspiration at The Bookworm! Here's mine as it reflects the season:

January days

full of winter wonderment

diamonds in snow

Also couldn't help but share a great site for Crock Pot Recipes here and at this site. And if you're a fan of Saving Dinner you might like this site also for menu mailers!

Oh and if you need inspiration for a tea time treat for the coming week, Danielle Bean has a delectable recipe she posted Saturday, yum, I'm not sure I can wait for Tuesday!

A Few Things

It's Bonny Glen's one year anniversary! Check out her page for last year's entry, it's a good one (aren't they all!). P. S. I hope she wins the Bob Award!

Also, if you want a good belly laugh this morning go to Danielle Bean's page for a hysterical rendition of her talking with a plumber, too funny!

One more thing, don't miss the beautiful new "cottage neighborhood" at Cottage Blessing's, it's so inspiring for us (read me) art impaired, sigh.

Have a great Saturday!
