The last couple of weeks have been busy for me and I haven't gotten as much reading done. Life happens, and I am learning to make the most of it and not fall into feelings of guilt if I don't get everything done I want to get done. The weather here in Kansas has been so very hot that we have stayed inside much of the time. I am really thinking that maybe I should reconsider our homeschool schedule … [Read more...]

We are gearing up for a fun 4th of July celebration at our house. The kids are getting excited to have the grandparents here, plus we are celebrating a couple birthdays that are this coming week (my youngest daughter and me)! It should be fun.

In addition to recovering well, all the tests confirmed that the cancer was … [Read more...]

I didn't get quite as much time this past week to read, but that's ok. Since we are on our summer break, I have been trying to work on some projects around the house. It feels good to have a little more time to work with during the day and being able to get some much needed projects done. My project for today is the bathroom cupboards. They are getting overrun with "stuff" and it needs … [Read more...]
