This past January I posted about New Year’s Resolutions. I had pretty much forgotten about the post until I started searching my blog for all the things I had posted about Gone With the Wind. In January of this year I made it my one mission for the year to read Gone With the Wind. […]
As I was sitting around the other night trying to catch up on some of my blog reading, I stumbled upon something that caught my attention. Over at Weird Unsocialized Homeshcoolers, Kris posted about starting a new project for the year called 365 Project. She was talking about how she had received a new fancy […]
Over the past year we have taken to scanning all of my old photos and turning them into digital format. I have photo album after photo album from my adolescent years! Now that they are in our photo files they come up in the screen savers on all of our computers. A I recently came […]
Today I am thankful for my treadmill. Seeing as I am in this endless struggle to lose and keep weight off, the treadmill can be quite a useful tool. I have not used it all that much because I have lost the weight by greatly altering my diet instead of adding in exercise. But […]
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” -Buddha Today I am tired. […]
Someone was recently thrown aback by a father who (not knowing her) made a statement in conversation about how he did not want his daughter to be “Just a stay-at-home Mom”. So I ask you, why, we as a society do this to our “stay-at-home” Moms? Why do we say “JUST” a stay-at-home Mom? Why […]

Or that being homeschooled means you cannot be properly socialized? I didn’t think so, but apparently many do, […]
My motivation to blog has waned recently and my feeling of guilt over it is rising! During certain moments of the day I ponder the reasons why. Here are a few that I have come up with: the weather is still nice, summer is still here, so I am making the most of it activities […]
Over at I ♥ Faces this week it is Teens Only. That means only teens ages 13-19 can enter the photo challenge this week. I decided that even though I cannot enter the contest, I will still throw some photos up here on my blog. BUT, I am going old school. In honor of Teens […]
I am reading a book called 13 Reasons Why (which I will post a review for in the next week or two). It is about the big/little, known/unknown things that we do/say and how they affect people, or even start a chain of events and thus impact people. The last Deeply Personal post I put […]
As I sat in front of my computer watching a movie the other night, I was a bird sitting in a tree outside someone’s window. What I mean by that is that I was witnessing (but not fully) a difficult struggle in another person’s life. It made me sad. None of the details are known […]
