Monday: We started our week with Music Lesson Monday. (No Museum this time because we had some places to get Grandma to.) Jayden was pleasantly surprised to see that his spelling words this week were all states. The list gave him 17 and he got to chose 3 of his own. Tuesday: In […]
Ten on Ten: Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month. Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments. This morning Chloe suddenly reminded me that today was ten on ten! As I sat amongst my children and our school books, […]

I started these New Year’s Resolution Posts in 2010 on a whim. I made it my goal to read Gone with the Wind. I did that wish ease. Then in my New Year’s Resolution Post 2011 I decided to try Sophie’s Choice. I am having less success with Sophie’s Choice. I tried reading it earlier […]
