    Merry Christmas!

    And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before…

    A Saturday in December & Other Updates

    8am- Thankfully we were able to sleep in! I checked on the kids when I got up. Stubby was reading The Black Stallion in bed: he was very confused because, “I’m not even halfway through the book and he’s already home! What can the rest of the book be about?” Smiley was drawing on the…

    October & November Books

    I know that it is halfway through December but I’m saving December for my year-end book update. 🙂 And I’m planning a day-in-the-life/family update tomorrow. Just a reminder that I use The Story Graph to track my reading and you can find me there under the user name mama_mcgoozle. I also do a lot of…

    October Day-in-the-Life

    I love reading other people’s day-in-the-life posts (especially other homeschool moms or money diaries). And I love having a record of what a “typical” day looked like for us at a certain point in time. I’m just really terrible at creating that type of post! But here’s a random Tuesday in October. 7am- I’m the…

    The End of Summer

    The summer has come and gone. Somehow. Many plans were made and few were accomplished. We had an unusually cool and wet summer which means we are not choking on wildfire smoke here at the end of summer but it didn’t feel like summer. Still, I think we had a good summer filled with slower…

    Family Update- April, May, June

    “The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men…” turn into unintelligible Scots’ speech. Oh, and also go awry. So is this poor neglected blog a blight on my good intentions. Forgive me dear reader (if there be one) and take this photo-heavy family update post as compensation. Birthdays and connected events April, May, and June…
