Excellent pumpkins and costumes! And I love the goblin eyeballs. My mom used to make dinner in a pumpkin every Halloween. What fun traditions! I bet the kids loved it.

How fun and creative! I can't wait to be festive with Haddie. She did wear your pumpkin hat yesterday for a little bit.

I didn't know the 70's were only 11 years ago. I missed them somehow or, I'm only 10. Congrats!!! Happy Anniversary on Wednesday too!

So I saw you on Diapers and Divinity, looked at your pinterest and I think I Found a Friend!!! We have a lot in common, I love your pins!

I loved your story about your daughter wanting to find the sight Elder Bednar mentioned--that is so wonderful.

Conference was great.

That is just the sweetest thing about your daughter and Elder Bednar's talk! I also loved that moment in President Uchtdorf's talk-- I happened to be there in the conference center for his talk; the whole atmosphere in the building changed at that moment when he spoke about not being forgotten. There was a very tangible spirit there and you could have heard a pin drop! It was a very poignant moment for me too from this Conference. I loved reading your thoughts! Thanks so much for sharing.

2011-10-03T09:07:10.968-05:00

Great notes. I love that you've already headed to the family history site with your kids!

I loved all your thoughts. Thanks for sharing!

I love your #7. That is so cool. The children are so quick to obey, and that's a great example for us. :) Thanks for participating.

You must share your recipe for the tomato and cucumber salad. I love that salad, but have never attempted it at home. I like the 5 things Friday. It's easy when you're short on time. Maybe I'll steal that idea and post right now.

2011-09-01T19:56:33.502-05:00

On the writing thing, if you want to encourage composition at an early age, allow your girls to dictate what they want to say and then you do the writing. My mom did that when I was like 5 by allowing me to dictate what she would write for me in my journal. It was a blast!

2011-09-01T19:53:10.309-05:00

What a great list! Love the "Cannah" thing! And that's very perceptive that you noticed certain TV shows increase contention in your home. Wouldn't it be great if all parents noticed that kind of thing and made changes accordingly? (sigh)

2011-08-31T08:04:47.362-05:00

Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad you found strength and peace about what's going on in your life right now. I too am really struggling with what's going on in my life right now. I hope I can find the strength to carry on with a better attitude.

2011-08-05T19:20:46.805-05:00

I too am going to try the Veritas Press Bible for first grade. I think we can do it! Interesting to see someone else who thinks the same thing. I'm tired of weak children's "Bibles" that are all slightly off in some way.

I popped in from the HOTM blog hop and really enjoyed reading about all the great materials you'll be using this year! I wish you all the best!

2011-08-02T13:45:01.776-05:00

I might have to check out all about spelling for the future. (or my own curiosity now. why are words spelled the way they are?) anyway-have a great year!

Rachel, unlike Cindi, I do NOT want you to teach me Latin (ever!).

So great that this is working out for your family. It was fun to learn how much you enjoy homeschool and it looks like you are making sure your kids will enjoy learning as well.

Have fun exercising all that Addison gray matter!

2011-06-06T21:42:25.056-05:00

I am going to have so many questions for you in about 3 years when I'm getting ready to homeschool Nate. You will be a pro by then. Sounds like there are lotd of options out there and that you are figuring out what works for your kids' learning styles. Something that kids in public school definitely miss out on is that more individualized instruction.
