I have been mulling over the idea of starting a blog for a very long time now. Enough is enough. I finally mustered up the courage to start. I have so many ideas. I hope this blog doesn’t become too eclectic, but I am passionate about so many diverse subjects that it certainly could. I […]

Happy Birthday, Mikelyn! I can’t believe that my daughter is 19 years old! I’m certain that I just gave birth to her yesterday. Where does the time go? She was born strong-willed. She walked early (before 8 mos). She talked early. She has always been ready to embrace the next great step in […]

As homeschoolers, we get to set our own schedule. As long as we complete 180 days, no one really cares which 180 days we choose to have school. I love this flexibility. July is always horribly hot in Memphis. My boys hibernate in July, and it always just felt like a waste of summer to […]
