Microscope Giveaway 2008-07-17 15:45:00 I came across a great giveaway today - it is for a very nice microscope - actually your choice of 3 different ones. This would be so awesome for homeschooling. We have a little microscope called "My first microscope" and while the kids think the things they see in it are cool, that is only because they have never looked in a REAL microscope. I have gone to great lengths to help them try to see coo Read more:Microscope
Oh How I LOVE auctions! 2008-07-17 15:06:00 Yesterday was the school's auction to sell off all the surplus from three rural schools that closed. I got some great finds!!! I went with the intention of getting 3 student school desks for my kids because our table is getting too short and it is so nice to have the desks to store their stuff inside. I got 3 old wooden desks in pretty decent condition for $4 each. I got a 4'x8' chalkboard which t Read more:auctions
Wordless Wednesday 2008-07-17 15:04:00 I know I'm late, but I had to post this picture for Wordless Wednesday
- this was our view of the eastern sky while we were unloading our auction finds!!
Menu Plan Monday 2008-07-14 08:08:00 We have a pretty busy week in store for us. We are going to try to do a little school work - I want to go to a 4 weeks on - 1 week off plan with a 6 week summer break and 2 weeks for Christmas. This will be much nicer in the long run so we are going to see how it works. Wichita will be gone to Nazarene Children's Camp this week so he'll miss out but I can assure you that he doesn't mind at all! Read more:Monday
New BOOKS!!!! 2008-07-12 21:52:00 I signed up for paper back swap today - I think it is a great idea. You list books you want to give away (trade) and then for every book someone takes you pay shipping to them and receive 1 credit on your account. Each book costs 1 credit (audio books take 2) so you can then go in and pick out a book you want, request it, and that person will pay the shipping to mail it to you. So you have new
Another busy week! 2008-08-09 22:05:00 Summer is just flying by so fast. We spent a lot of time garage sale-ing the last 3 days. Between my stuff & save order from Old Navy and my great garage sale finds I think I have all 3 kids outfitted for the winter and most, if not all, of next summer. I was also able to get some more canning/freezing done this week. Today, we just hung out at my mom's most of the day - my grandparents we
I won! 2008-08-05 16:13:00 Woohoo!! I won a giveaway for nice batch of coupons. I found this site the other day and she gives away tons of coupons. All you have to do to enter is comment. Be sure to check it out and Good Luck!
All done! 2008-08-04 15:31:00 I ended up getting a lot done and was just putting the last loaf of zucchini bread in the oven when my husband walked in for lunch! What makes me even happier is that we got our insurance check in the mail for our roof and it was more than we expected! I 've been doing a happy dance all afternoon! God is so good!I ended up with 2 quarts of pickles, 2 quarts of pickled jalepeno peppers (haven't tri
Making Your Home a Haven 2008-08-04 09:17:00 We have lots and lots of fresh veggies to take care of today. I was given some zucchini and squash by my uncle, I picked a few others from my garden, I got lots of cucumbers from my garden this morning, and on the way home from irrigating my husband stopped and helped me pick some sweet corn that is just on the verge of being ready (but we don't mind eating it early!). I also have green beans in Read more:Haven
Menu Plan Monday 2008-08-04 09:06:00 Well, now that VBS is behind us, I was hoping for a quiet week, but I don't think I will be that lucky!! We are going to try and put up sweet corn this week, we have a garage sale to help with at church on Thursday, we have city wide garage sales Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so we will have to hit as many as possible, and then my grandparents will be here Friday or Saturday I think. Plus Kevin i Read more:Monday

GOLD! 2008-08-03 19:59:00 Did you know that you can use gold, as in the metal, as an acne treatment? Asso Gold Cleansing Bar, at $124 per bar, is the most expensive soap in the world because it contains 24k gold dissolved into the formula allowing the tiny particles to dissolve into your skin which kills acne at the source. [I didn't have any idea that gold killed acne!] Oriental cultures have known the healing property
100th Post!! 2008-08-03 19:55:00 After just over 4 months of blogging - this marks my 100th post - Hooray!!! So far I love blogging and I especially love reading comments you leave me! One other thing I love is reading other blogs, so if don't have one yet (or you have one and never update it) come one in and join the party! It is a great way to scrapbook if you are too lazy to do it the "real" way (like me!). But really, it
Top Droppers for July 2008-08-01 16:56:00 I just wanted to take a moment to give credit to my top entrecard droppers and advertisers for July. These wonderful bloggers have either visited my site on a regular basis or ran my card on their website, or both! Either way, my traffic has increased exponentially and I am so thankful for that. As a relatively new blogger and new to entrecard I am excited to use this tool more extensively now tha
The true story of Christmas 2008-07-30 21:30:00 After watching this video all I can say is WOW! This guy puts it so perfectly, so absolutely perfectly it almost brings tears to your eyes. Every year, Christmas
becomes more and more commercialized. We worry for months ahead how we are going to work Christmas gifts into our budget. We make gifts, we shop early and all year long for good deals, we try to limit our spending and every year it seems Read more:story
Prayer Request 2008-07-30 21:07:00 As I mentioned before I am Children's Ministries Director at our church. As such, I am in charge of finding a new leader/director for our Wednesday evening program called Caravans. I have taught the preschool class for 2 years and really enjoy it - Caravans is a great program and super outreach into the community as we get kids from all sorts of denominations and walks of life. The director fro Read more:Prayer

No title 2008-07-30 06:29:00 All this week we are having VBS so that has been keeping me busy! I am teaching the 4/5 yr old class. I love this age because they are just starting to understand God's world and develop a sense of the things around them. They are willing to put their heart and soul into all they do, whether it be playing, answering questions, or fighting with each other!!! Our theme this year is Outrigger Isl
Cell phone anyone? 2008-08-26 14:10:00 I don't have a cell phone
. I know, can you believe it! Let me say that again - I DON'T have a cell phone. I really see no need for one. Kevin has one for work that they pay for and it is great for him to have with him when I want to find him, but I haven't seen the need for one. When we lived in Omaha I had one - I really wish I could have had a Nokia N82 Silver but alas, I don't think they were e
Worth the money? 2008-08-26 13:57:00 My uncle was telling me about a fruit juice that he drinks that has significantly improved his health and his day to day energy levels. He has had great success with and so has my aunt and several other people he knows. I did some research about it online and it looks like a lot of people have had really great results just by drinking this juice every day. I know there are lots of wellness product Read more:Worth

The Wisdom of a Child 2008-08-23 16:28:00 This post is kind of an update from this post. I had a discussion with my kids about Christmas. We talked about not expecting presents on other people's birthdays and why we get gifts on Jesus' birthday. They weren't real sure about why we do that. After a few days of letting them mull that over, we talked about not getting presents for Christmas and how they would feel about that. They were not a Read more:Wisdom
Back to Reality 2008-08-23 09:02:00 Well, I think 'summer' is officially ended and Monday it is back to reality for us! Public school started Tuesday which means all the programs and activities that go with that are starting up too! We started Quizzers on Thursday, Caravans begins this next Wednesday, Scout sign-up is Tuesday night (we officially start in September). Bible Study will also start up again soon. This means our afte
Vacationing in Brazil 2008-08-20 21:30:00 It has been a long time since we have been on vacation. We have taken a few short trips (as in overnight) to local areas, but nothing substantial since Easter last year when we went to Tennessee. Since we are working furiously at paying off our debt (and considering moving) it will probably be awhile before we are able to take a "real" vacation, but we can always dream right!?!? My kids would rea Read more:Vacationing

Working From Home 2008-08-20 21:19:00 I was contacted the other day by a lady wanting me to start a business from home. I never quite understood what she was wanting me to do or sell, but of course it was no investment required unless you want extra inventory which didn't make a lot of sense because she also told me I did not have to sell anything. I am thinking it might have been like Amway - where you don't sell stuff, you have to b
Causing a stir..... 2008-08-19 15:37:00 Don't you just love making a hard decision and then having others get upset over your decision or decide to completely ignore your requests???? While several of you reading this may have gotten my letter (and may or may not agree with our choice) I feel free to vent here so stop reading if you must, but give me a fair chance to explain and at the very least have the guts to air your complaints t
Making Comets 2008-08-19 15:30:00 As part of our KONOS curriculum for today we made comets. Comets are made of ice, dirt, and gases with a solid rock center. So we crushed ice (some is better crushed than others!) mixed it with sand and formed it around a rock. Then we used sand and dryer lint (to represent the gas) for the tail. The kids (and myself!) had a blast making a muddy mess on the sidewalk and here are our finished r
Taking the plunge 2008-08-17 07:57:00 Well, yesterday we took the plunge
and listed our house on the market. We looked at a very nice place out in the country right near the feedlot and we would so love to live on a "farm". The only thing that holds us back is that we own this house in town and still owe on it. So, at the advice of the realtor, we listed our home for sale. If the other place is still available when (and if) our ho Read more:Taking
KONOS 2008-08-12 22:37:00 Today we tried a lesson out of our new curriculum book by KONOS called Orderliness. It is basically an all inclusive curriculum excluding mathematics. We did Bible, Literature, & Language Arts out of the book and then Math & Writing from A Beka. After lunch we followed the KONOS afternoon schedule which varies each day to include Science, History, Practical Living, Music, Arts, etc. To
Paying too much? 2008-08-12 22:12:00 Are you getting the best rate possible for your car insurance? While I know that this sounds like the beginning of an advertisement for various car insurance companies, I think it is important to periodically do a car insurance comparison between 2 or more companies to see how they compare to your current insurance. It is hard to know how good a company is until you need them, but you can also t
