Hello, Dear Blog, I’ve missed you! I don’t think I’ve ever gone this long before without blogging. Thank you to those of you who have e-mailed to ask if I am still living. I know it probably seems that I was so devastated by the end of Lost that I just gave up on life…
SPOILER ALERT: Don’t read this if you didn’t watch the series finale of Lost, which aired Sunday, May 23. The End. I loved the artistry, the closure and the storytelling of ending it that way. Jack back in the spot in the jungle where he had landed in the premiere. Vincent at his side. His…
As my kids have gotten older, they (naturally) have been getting in more situations in which they have to make a choice about the right way to behave. We’ve had lots of conversations lately about what they should do when other kids are encouraging them to do things they know they shouldn’t. They have been…
About a month ago, I read the list of classes offered by our homeschool co-op to my 5-year-old daughter. “Jewelry making, sewing and duct tape,” she said. Those were the ones she wanted to take.

Most people who know me in real life have heard me talk at one time or another about my favorite toys (Discovery Toys), my favorite coffee maker (Keurig) and my favorite computer (my iMac). That’s because when I love a product, I can’t help but tell everyone about it. So, it seems interesting to me…
Ahhh… Home sweet home. It was hard to say good-bye to the summer temps, the beach and the pool, but it’s always great to be back home. Before we left… back when I could just sit around by the pool updating my blog… I put together these highlights of our trip: 1. Spending the day…
I wasn’t sure if this idea of doing homeschool away from home would be one of my many Great Ideas that are better in my head than in real life. We still have a lot of school work to complete before we can end our school year, hopefully, at the end of May. So, we…
