Cranium Bloom: Nurture Your Child’s Genius
Even before I homeschooled I was always looking for fun, educational games for my kids. When my oldest was 2, he started playing computer games, but they weren’t the frivolous games he plays now on ps2 or the Wii. They were educational. He started out with games like Bailey’s Book House which taught letters and…
The Dangers of Garlic
I’m a garlic lover. I put garlic in lots of things like my homemade tomato sauces and I use it when I sautee vegetables. Though some dislike the after affects of garlic, the health benefits are extensive. It has power antioxidants and is said to help cure the common cold. I even have some garlic…
Too Busy to Play
It seems that I’ve been so busy doing…(field trips, shopping, baking, blogging, laundry, cooking) that there hasn’t been much time to enjoy my family. There’s always something that needs to be done and being the choleric that I am, I usually make time to do it. Some of the things I do are really good.…
Ding, Dong, DELL
Momma’s feeling swell! My new DELL Laptop arrived. The one we bought on line on Black Friday for 1/2 price at $399! When my kid’s laptop died (after my husband resurrected it several times,) we knew it wasn’t worth resuscitating another time. So we bought a new one and it’s mine, all mine! The old…
Protecting Kids from Inappropriate Video and Computer Games
If you’re a parent of children who plays video games, then I’m sure you’ve struggled with whether a certain game is appropriate for your child. In years past it was almost impossible to know how violent or inappropriate a game was without sitting down and playing the game with your child. Things have changed thanks…
Free Online Photo Editing
I’m not very savvy when it comes to the technical side of computers. I love taking photographs, but don’t even know how to edit them to my satisfaction. I’ve tried the basic program on my computer, but it’s limited and does’t do what I want it to do. Plus it’s hard to figure out. I…
A New SpringThing!
Since I’ve had kids, I’ve been trying to make Easter more about Christ’s resurrection than the Easter Bunny. But in today’s materialistic society where retailers want to make money, it hasn’t been easy. Though we’ve technically never told our children the Easter Bunny, baskets of goodies were waiting for them after church, eggs were hidden…
Im All About Organization
I may be all about organization, but that doesn’t mean I’m organized. My desk is cluttered with papers, as is almost every corner of my home. It’s not that I don’t clean and I try to declutter every so often, it’s just that there’s so much stuff with 4 kids, many hobbies and not enough…

Holiday Cookies Made Easier
Last year when I took a plate of Christmas cookies to my daughter’s preschool teacher I was surprised by her comment. “Thank you. Not many people give homemade Christmas cookies anymore. It seems to be a lost art around.” That made me sad to hear that so many people forego this holiday tradition. Growing up…
