Laurie Hale imagined fun, love, and success for her daughter, Anna. But when one of Anna’s classmates is murdered and the police start asking questions, a very different future…

I’m totally exhausted from out trek around the world, Disney style. We visited Epcot yesterday mainly because Grace had a princess luncheon. The park is not my favorite for the little ones, but we managed to have a wonderfully fun and tiring time. My feet are still aching! Tomorrow we’re off to the Magic Kingdom.…
Read MoreWeaving Through the Setbacks
My blog is gone. I’d uploaded a database backup plug-in, and upon activation, good-bye blog. Ironic, isn’t it? I can only hope it’s retrievable. One year of blogging gone forever. Last night in between preparing cheese sauce and broccoli, a toddler wound around my leg, and a terrific thunderstorm, I wondered what God could possibly…

HOMESCHOOL REFLECTIONS As this year of homeschooling comes to an end, I thought it would be fun and interesting to take a trip down memory lane. So I’ll be posting a series of homeschool posts from my past (old dead blog) and reflecting on what I’ve written and if things have really changed every Thursday.…

Day 3 Magic Kingdom Part 1 I woke up early and TRIED to get the kids ready, but we had some sleepy heads. Finally we made it out the door, got the tickets and rushed to the Magic Kingdom, arriving only a couple minutes late for our breakfast. We saw Tigger first thing. Chris (10)…

The game was tight. Archrivals had faced off for three and a half periods in a seesaw battle that was going down to the wire. As the clock ticked down, the two sides traded the lead back and forth. Neither could be assured of victory because with the game so close, anything could happen. From…
Read MoreTaking a Rest
Life has been extremely busy this last month. You’d think since I homeschool there wouldn’t be as many activities, but there are. Baseball and soccer games, musical recitals, preschool parties and co-op parties! I’m pretty much exhausted, but if you’re reading this, don’t feel too sorry for me. (Though I’d covet your prayers for safety…
