Remodel: Hall Closet Turned Pantry w/Barn-Door
You might recall our family’s big spring/summer project has been renovating a neglected 1970’s rambling rancher right next door to my sister. We’re settled in now and have been chugging along with updates, but I had to share a recent project that Husband undertook to bless me for my recent birthday… I think it’s my favorite part…

What to Read Wednesday: Boredom Busters/Roadtrip Books
This week’s What to Read Wednesday is woefully tardy… ironically because I’m presently swept up in a book series. #BookwormProbs My advice for boredom busting road-trip lit is to grab any old book you want– no matter how embarrassing or silly.

What to Read Wednesday: Elephants on Parade
This week’s What to Read Wednesday theme is elephants. It was an easy one for me, since I grew up on the Saggy Baggy Elephant, Babar, Dumbo and Horton.

What to Read Wednesday: First Books
“In the great green room there was a telephone, and a red balloon, and a picture of a cow jumping over the moon…” There are a few classic books that I’ve read aloud so many times that I can now recite them verbatim without looking. “The sun did not shine, it was too wet to…

Welcome to Myyyyy House
…. play that music too loud, we don’t like to go-o-o out… Finally. We’ve settled in and construction’s ceased for a spell at our new radical ranch remodel. We’re taking a breather before tackling further projects (whilst simultaneously allowing our construction fund to rebound) and working instead on making our new house a home. We hope to find…

We the People (White House Family Mission Statement Acrostic)
We’re nearing the end of a fun Blogging Through the Alphabet project with some fellow homeschoolers online. In thinking about a fitting topic for the letter W one need only glance about our house… it’s our monogram, and it’s everywhere! It came to me that one of the most foundational virtues of our homeschool exist in our family…
