Collage Friday

TGIF - has never sounded so good to my ears.

To put into words the last 10 days would take too long. So many emotions.

We spent the weekend with our best friends. Making homemade ice cream (not as easy as it looks), fellowship and a fun birthday party! 

Not sure if everyone was aware that you can find more resources for The Joys of Home Educating on Facebook HERE. 

In case you missed THIS POST here is the link to the post. RADDISH is something that all homeschooling families could benefit from.  It's a mixture (pun intended) of education, fun, bonding, cooking and creating. 
Some guest posting: getting ready for spring with some Washi Crafting. Over at Catch My Party Blog and PSMIYO (P.S. Make It Your Own)
On Tuesday, March 18th, we laid my father's body to rest in the Saratoga National Cemetery. With a full honors military funeral. The day was sunny and a bit breezy.  I found myself at ease with his passing as I am a believer and I know that he is HOME.  Someday I will join him and see all that our Lord has for us in the eternal life.  Thank you to those of you who were praying for safe travels and our family. We felt it!    It was ironic that it was 3 years ago to the date that we buried my Father In Law.

This weekend my MIL is taking the children on Saturday for an overnight. It will give me and my husband time to decompress from the last few weeks, get our life back in order and plan for spring.

Coming up:  Molly turns 7!  More crafting..school fun and LEGOS!

Until next time - Be Blessed

There is nothing better than homemade ice cream...even in the winter! RADDISH looks like a cute program. The Washi baskets are so cute, too. Although sad, of course, it must have been wonderful to for your father to be honored with a full honors military funeral. (hugs) I hope you have a relaxing week coming up.

I am sorry about the loss of your Dad. Your funeral photos are beautiful and stir up emotions from my grandfather's military funeral last year. I pray that you have a good and relaxing week and that you do take the time to decompress that I know you'll need....By the way, RADDISH does look like fun :-)

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
