And the Left Wins!!!

No, I'm not talking about presidential politics (whew!) I'm talking about ocular dominance. Yes, for those of you who saw Oprah today, I took the little hole-in-the-paper test for eye dominance. I did it twice, just to be sure, and I came out left-eye dominant both times! Apparently this can be very important in sports like golf, baseball, and bowling, as well as when shoo.ting a g.un. Since I don't play those sports (at least not well enough to care which eye is dominant, LOL) and don't own a fire.arm, I'm not sure what all this means for me. But it was fun to find out!

Now for a shameless plug... if you have not already discovered TLC's show, Jon & Kate Plus 8, then you need to check it out tonight (or next Monday if you're reading this too late.) I cannot recommend this show highly enough!! I have been watching it for several months and absolutely.love.it! It is a hilarious, real-life picture of living with a lot of kids. (Or feeling like you live with a lot of kids!) It will make you feel better about the chaos at your own house. It helps me remember the noise level from our 2 little red-headed fireballs is normal! Tune in to TLC at 9 Eastern.

That's ok - that's why I like the show - we're all scatterbrains when we're trying to manage a household with young children! ;-)

Homeschool Giveaway!

*******Update: the Giveaway is over. Go here to see the winner! Have a great year, everybody! Jolanthe at Homeschool Creations is sponsoring a Curriculum Cleanout. Now through August 15, lots of great resources will be recycled through giveaways. Have something that needs a new home? Need a few items to round out your curriculum? Then check out this great blog carnival that grows daily! My giveaway is for Exploring God's Creation Science workbook from Christian Liberty Press. First, I just want to say how much I love Christian Liberty Press! They are affordable, user-friendly, and have a solid Biblical worldview. This science workbook (we used it more as a "text") has information and activities on a range of topics in all the major areas of elementary science. It's listed in their 3rd grade materials, but we used it as a group when my kids were in 4th, 2nd, and K. (The first couple of lessons have some marks - before I got smart and photocopied the lessons.) Each cha

Dinner on a Thursday

Image
I am so not a decorator! I post these pictures only to show you that it is possible to have beauty ( i.e . Hidden Art ) in your home with no talent and no money! Yesterday was a rough one around here and I was feeling a little blue come dinnertime. I decided a pretty table would make our plain ole weeknight fish-and-broccoli dinner a little more festive. The flowers are summer's last blast from my neglected yard; the napkins are cut from a fabric remnant I keep meaning to do something with; the aspen wood vase was last year's anniversary present from My Sweetie. In about 15 min, the table - and my attitude - got a makeover. Return, O my soul, to your rest;for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. Psalm 116:7

The Story of Us

Image
We put up our tree this weekend and I was struck by how the whole process has evolved through the years. In the beginning it was a quietly joyful ritual performed by a young newly married couple, madly in love, looking forward to growing a family and establishing their own traditions. Fast forward 15 years and five kids. The scene now seems like chaos at first glance. Yet there is the same couple, still madly in love, with their growing children all around, following the family traditions. As " A Very Veggie Christmas " plays in the background, we open the boxes of ornaments that tell our story. We sing along with the corny songs, laugh, drink hot chocolate, and share memories attached to all our favorite ornaments... "Oh! That was the year we went to DisneyWorld! Do you remember how excited M. was when she finally got to meet Belle ?!" "When Mommy and I first got married, we couldn't afford Christmas ornaments. So we bought a few red ribbons at KMart to
