Homeschooling......ahhhh, where to start?

So since I've posted last, we finally decided it was time to actually homeschool our 13 year old. Our 10 old will likely follow next fall.

Today I am working on lesson plans and getting everything organized and ready to go with the start of next week. I am a little nervous but very excited to do this for my daughter. I think she will thrive in this enviroment and do very well. I am a little overwhelmed but my mind is over-flowing with ideas and things to teach her. I will likely be back with tips and resources for home-schooling Moms.

Wish me luck!

Our newest addition!

We lost our beloved Peanut in February. She had been our dog for 12 years and she is sorely misssed. We didn't want to replace her but we have had a longing to give our love to another puppy. A few weeks ago I finally gave in and allowed the search to begin for a new pet. Here is the newest addition to our family. His name is Max. He's almost a year old and we think he's the cutest the thing you ever did see. What do you think?

So sad

One of our good friends, Tom, lost his house in a house fire yesterday. Thankfully everyone is safe and no one was in the house at the time. We are sad for the loss of his home, security and of course belongings though. Here's some scary after pictures of the house.
