Thanksgiving Thankfuls
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 […]
Hip Homeschool Hop ~ K’NEX
We do not have any K’NEX at home, but whenever we go to the Rochester Museum and Science Center the kids love to use their extensive collection of them. Not only do they have an endless supply of parts, but they have laminated sheet, after laminated sheet of different building directions. I was worried with […]
Thanksgiving Thankfuls
It has now been many days since I have done this. With the changing of my blog theme has come many more “issues” than we realized. Most of them have yet to be fixed so I hope all will bear with me throughout this transition. The new theme has much potential, but with that comes […]

Thanksgiving Thankfuls ~ November 7th, 2010
Today has been a day of transition. I finally bit the dust and bought a new theme for my blog….the problem is now I have to learn all the short codes, and other strange new terminology. So I am short and sweet today. Today I am thankful for the opportunity to enhance my blog once […]
Thanksgiving Thankfuls ~ November 6th, 2010
In a few short days my mother will be heading out on yet another missions trip with her church. I remember when she told us she was going on her first one, I was less than thrilled. Today, my feelings have not changed much, other than to say my anxiety about her leaving and returning […]
