Musings of a mother of many
It’s time to go back to what I know works for me.
It’s time to begin again the well worn diet that has kept me well for most of my life.
As many of you know, I was very sick for a large part of my childhood. By high school, traditional medicine had nothing else to […] Read more…
Sometimes the needs of a large family just seem so diverse and vast that I’d like to hit a pause button somewhere just to slow things down a bit.
We had to make a few quick decisions for our oldest son, Andrew, this week. He is seventeen and in eleventh grade. As many of […] Read more…
Right after Christmas, our Korean exchange students arrived.
I’m sure they felt strange at first,
but it didn’t take long till they were one of the boys.
The kids made some new friends,

and life […] Read more…

It’s a post about a sweet girl who spent just two days shy of fourteen long years in an orphanage, and was finally adopted two days […] Read more…
One thing I love about homeschooling is the freedom to play late night games, any night of the week, that is any night of the week Mommy and Daddy aren’t too exhausted.
Playing Rummy Cube at Mom mom and Pop pop’s.
Learning to carefully plan our moves,
and work together.
Playing Cash Flow with Dad,

I haven’t written much lately. My days are filled with children and their school work. One day a week we have a home-school co-op that we attend together. We also run to ballet every day for various classes. In between all that, I work on the house and meals for the family. Most evenings I […] Read more…
I have been absent from this blog far too long. Our internet was down for two weeks in September, and the very day it started working again, our laptop crashed. Suffice it to say, I have grown accustomed to our laptop.
In addition to feeling like I lost my right arm, we were barely into our […] Read more…
I have wanted to put pictures of our children on my sidebar since I began my blog. The only problem has been that I have not had a great camera or much technical ability. The mere thought of the entire process of editing and actually getting all the photos on my blog has been very […] Read more…
