Most Americans have spent the last month shouting out what makes them ‘thankful’ as a prequel to my favorite American holiday: Thanksgiving. Never one to jump on a band wagon (I figured it was full enough and that horse was tired) I have kept my list in my head and heart. But this morning, returning…
When does a stump become a topless tree? Is it 6 inches, 12 inches, 2 feet? Is there some magic, official “stump number” used to determine if the wood qualifies? I was contemplating this while deer hunting Sunday morning, I found myself seated on an old railroad cross tie behind a dead Sweetgum tree in…
Wicked Chicken vs Evil Dresser One Night Only! 2:00 a.m. en route to bathroom, see The Chicken in all her uncoordinated glory! Evil Dresser 1 ~ Wicked Chicken 0 I really gotta stop running into, falling over and bumping things in the night…….
Ever feel like you are the lone nut on the crazy path of life? No? I guess it’s just me. I’m totally okay with being the lone nut. Until a squirrel comes along. Then again, it’s Monday and we are all nuts. Have a great week fellow nuts! 🙂 (and I am calling you all…

I haven’t had much time to write this week, no time actually. But I did manage a thought. I find it very funny that when people find out you homeschool, their initial reaction is always (at least in my experience) something along the lines of “How is she going to make friends!?”, “Aren’t you worried…
I’ll not bother writing about why we ‘pulled the plug’ on cable over 5 years ago. There have been PLENTY of talk shows, radio shows, books and blogs on that very subject. And we all know the basic message. I’ll just say that while it took me a few months to convince my husband we…
Good domestic help is so hard to find. So I just decided to give birth to mine and train them right, from the start. Just kidding! Sort of. While Addie’s only real ‘chore’ is to clean her room, and that she does amid protests of epic proportions, tossing around excuses such as “my eye hurts”,…
