A New Addition To Our Family
Well... we have a new addition to our family in the form of a nine week old baby boy puppy. My son's friends sister found a puppy in a shopping cart at a local grocery stores parking lot. He was curled up with his little tail between his legs whimpering. She took him home and has been taking care of him since, she began bonding with him and knowing all along that her apartment complex does not allow dogs, she asked her friends if they wanted a puppy. Needless to say no one did. There was no way she would take him to the humane society, so she asked her brother to help her find a home for him. Now, my husband knows that I cannot turn any animal a

Homeschooling Video... A New Generation in Education

I'm talking about sending our children to public school... don't get me wrong, public school is fine for some children but can also be harmful to others.Take for instance my youngest son, he was just not wired for public school. He is way to active to sit in a chair for any length of time, he does not retain information from a book and he fidgets during lectures. No, he is much better off in a more relaxed and open environment.When he was in grade school the confinement and regimented schedule had him having melt downs on a daily basis. I would rec

LAST PLACE FIRST
"Anyone who wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else"Mark 9:35For the past few weeks I have been getting really irritated with my family, it seemed like every time one of them opened his mouth there was something they wanted me to do, to make or get something for them. I felt like I was "on the run" from the time I rose in the morning until I laid my head down at the end of the day. Someone wanted me to make this and another wanted me to go get that. All day, everyday and because I love them, I did what they demanded. I use the word demanded because they would not use the two little words I had dr
