Preschool and Homeschooling

Pierce will be 3 next week and I hear people around me talking about preschool already. Why? What’s the rush? Why do parents feel the need to get the child out of the home and into school at 3 years old? Isn’t home supposed to be the ultimate learning zone? Are parents just anxious to push the child to get ahead by putting him...

Coincidence?

I find this very interesting, though I don’t really believe in coincidences. I totally believe things happen and we meet people for reasons; everything has its purpose in life and we just need to find it. Anyway…my pregnancy with my #1 was easy. Not a lot of pains, morning sickness was over everyday at the same time, etc. And she was an easy baby;...

Girl’s Night

On a message board I hang out on, one of the girls mentioned girl’s nights and going out. I realized that’s just not something I’ve done in a long, long time. I have a lot of friends at church and the gym, but no one I hang out with for fun. Pathetic and sad, yes, it is. So I came up with the idea...

And so it begins!!

Paul came to me a couple days ago with the idea of a blog. I kinda thought “Why me” but the more he talked about it the more I got into it. He said if I tried hard enough (if??) I could even earn a few bucks! Wa-hoo, spending money!!  Apparently there’s sites you can check out that help you; they find advertisers and...
