Homeschool Planning
Erin Your scheduling post was very informative/interesting/insightful. What I’m still wondering is how you do all that you do 🙂 Do you read through your kids’ curriculum, or how do you teach them if you don’t have time in the day to read through what each of them are learning? I guess this is my […]

Each member of the family will create a simple chart as the week progresses. The pictures included with […]
Toddlers, babies, and schooling, oh my!
JennyWell, actually, I have been wanting to you ask you this…it’s probably a question you get a lot and have probably answered before, but how do you do it all? 🙂 I have 3 little ones 6 and under and this year I began to think about homeschooling for the first time. I’m just not […]
One-on-one Time with Mom
JenI can think of a bunch of questions to ask, but the one that I would most love you to answer is: As a mother of eight children, how do you meet everyone’s needs including your own? I have five children ages 8 and under and we homeschool too. I am with my children all […]
It’s about TIME
Suzanne I want to know how you find time to home school, blog, keep the house and kids going, have time for your spouse, and still stay sane. I eat quite a bit of chocolate, and don’t feel that I can get as much done with those 24 hours. Marisa HOW do you find […]
Sheet Music
ChristinaYou write every now and then about sheet music. What do you have, where do you get it from, what do you recommend? Do you all sing from it, play it on the piano, or what? How often do you add to your collection? Growing up in a musical family, it’s a given that I […]
How I created (or didn’t) my navigation link bar

Your other tutorials […]

Clean or messy?

Living the Farm Life
{leah}“So I guess my questions are, did this start out as a hobby farm or did you marry a farmer? Does your husband have another job outside of the farm? How much do your girls help? Is it something they are expected to do like common chores around the house? How much of farm life […]
Making photos BIG in blogger posts
Though I think I’ve already asked this question about a million times, I’m still dying to know whether and if yes, then how you make the pictures on your blog so big. It would be wonderful to figure that out- because that’s been the quest on my blog for quite a while. Thanks!Yohan I thought […]
Curious? Snoopy? Inquistive?
Feel like being nosy or snoopy today? How about something more mild and just inquisitive or curious? Ask me. Come on.

Wordfull Wednesday: Nurturing Love and Friendship in Marriage
