My 6 year old was left at school this afternoon and my 8 year old came home crying. My 6 year old and 8 year old ride the bus home together in the afternoons.

He told the bus driver that she was supposed to be on the bus but the driver left the school without her. My 8 year old came off of the bus visibly shaken because he didn't know where his sister was. I went to the bus driver who had... Read Full Story

I watched a short Sproutwell episode on Youtube this morning. It is about a family of vegetables living in a human world. They have a human neighbor who is a busy body.

I also visited the website that I believe sponsors the cartoon. The site promotes rewarding people for using the site and making healthy eating choices. You can win prizes and points...

Wow, has this been a hectic week. I don't adjust to change very easily but I think that I am finally getting accustomed to this new daily schedule. The children have completed one week of public school already and I will list the pros and cons that we have experienced. Picking out the children’s school clothes once a week has been working great. Five outfits, picked out and ironed is such a time saver. Backpacks & shoes lined near the front door has been working great as well. There is no... Read Full Story

I know many people find that the change in church attire from formal to flip flops, jean shorts and t-shirts to be great. I for one am really struggling with it.

This is more for me than it is for you. I need to make sure that I keep myself accountable to my new schedule. With just me and the little one at home the house is so quiet and all I feel the urge to do is sleep. I get up at 6am to drive my children to school. Once I arrive home I start dinner, help my husband prepare for work and then begin my morning chores. I have gotten most of my to-do's done, but to be sure that I complete the rest before the children arrive home I will post them here... Read Full Story

I wanted to share a neat idea that I picked up awhile ago. I created a useful homework center for the children to use during homework time. I added some things that I think they will use daily but will switch things out and add new things as the school year progresses. The pencils are tucked away in the little black box. Now the children don't have to waste time leaving the table to find supplies. They will all be right where they can reach them. I will be adding a small English... Read Full Story
