I promised that as soon as I got a picture of Flat Susie’s manicure, I would share it. See her beautiful nails? She got in on the act and polished Lacy’s nails before she jetted off to South Dakota. I’m expecting to hear any day now, that she has arrived for her visit with the [...]

It’s been a while since I updated you on Flat Susie’s journey. We received the sweetest letter and some pictures from the Roger’s family in Omaha. I’ll share them with you here. Hi, gals! Flat Susie couldn’t have arrived at a better time. She arrived on May 14th, just as Grandma Rogers and Grandpa Jay came [...]
Last week our family spent Tuesday through Saturday at Bible School. We only have one left at home that is young enough to attend, but I, and our 14- and 17-year-olds, were teaching and helping. There are a lot of activities we participate in during summer, but this is one of my favorites. I had [...]

I arrived in Tifton, Georgia on April 28. Tifton is known as “The Friendly City” and I certainly know why. The Smith family was so generous and welcoming. I appreciated being able to stay with them on my journey. There are about 15,000 friendly people who reside in Tifton. I learned a lot about Georgia [...]
If you haven’t read about our Flat Susie school project, you can catch up on the activity, here and here. Susie has completed the first leg of her journey and we received word from her as she left Lincoln, Nebraska on her way to Tifton, Georgia. Thank you so much, Aunt Debi and Uncle Blaine, [...]
Classical Phonics, from Memoria Press, is one of the best phonics resources I have seen for teacher and students, alike. If like me, you have never been fond of packaged phonics curricula, Classical Phonics will be the perfect tool to organize, sequence and review your phonics teaching and to be sure you cover all the [...]
I haven’t been this excited about a curriculum product in several years! Handwriting/penmanship has always been the sort of “thorn in my side” subject with homeschooling. I have good handwriting, however it is “old school”, lots of loops and hoo haa. My husband’s handwriting is adequate; it’s legible, and that’s an accomplishment in our culture, [...]
I have put off this review as long as possible. When I review a product, I anticipate that it will be something useful for our family and/or our homeschool. I want more than anything to be as fair as possible and present positive reviews. However, after weeks of studying this short text, I am still [...]
