In case you haven’t noticed, I really enjoy learning about government and economics. So when I had the opportunity to review an online high school economics curriculum that is written from a Christian perspective, I thought this would be a great thing to share with my readers and explore as an option for Caroline in …

It’s the first Monday in August. That means the next time it’s a new month it will be September! That’s a wonderful thought for this Autumn lover to contemplate. How are you doing? I mean that sincerely. I’m not just making conversation. How are you doing? Our family has been locked down now for five …

Happy Monday! It’s a cloudy morning here and I’m thankful to have a break from the relentless sun we’ve had this summer. After a cold front moves through this afternoon, we’re supposed to have a lovely stretch of weather with highs only in the low 80s and low humidity. David should be able to finally …

Happy Monday evening! I didn’t forget about this post. It simply took me some time to get to it today. Partially this was due to the fact that I had things to do that included deadlines. Part of it was due to a child who needed extra mom and dad today. It was also because …

In January I set myself 20 goals for 2020. I started out updating them each week in a post as a way of holding myself accountable. After about seven weeks I decided I didn’t want to do that any longer for reasons I explained in The Hours and Days Create Your Life. About the time …

The year 2020 will be looked back on as the tipping point for many changes in our country. Let us hope it is also the year people look back on as the moment when public education collapsed under the weight of its own brokenness and unsustainability and something much better replaced it. At no time …

Happy Monday! I hope you and yours are well and happy today. We’re hanging in there. Thank you to those who said they were praying for us after my request for prayers last week. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t accomplish anything on my list last week. I was busy all week from sun up …

We’re currently standing on the precipice of something we cannot fully explain. We can sense it’s coming because it’s impossible to miss the signs that things are not right. At the same time, we don’t know how this “thing” will unfold. We can’t even name this thing we see right before us. We don’t know …

Happy Monday! It’s been a few weeks since we had a weekly goals post and it’s time to get back in the routine. I confess I am feeling a little slow out of the gate today. We just finished our sunniest June ever with over 82% sunshine. This is unheard of around here. I think …

My blogging friend, Dianna, often uses the phrase “Head down, blinders on” to encourage us to focus on what we have set out to do. I’ve been dutifully applying it this month. If you look at what I’ve posted in June, you’ll see it hasn’t been much. I have been adding content to the forum …

If you have children, you will want to think through how you are going to handle these topics of pantry building and emergency preparedness with them.

Although most people will build a pantry over time by shopping at their local grocery store, sometimes it makes sense to purchase a food supply or food storage pack. In this post, let’s look at what kinds of emergency foods are available and who might benefit from investing in emergency supply pack. When I originally …

Unsafe water and waterborne disease kill more people worldwide than anything else – violence, war, etc. We won’t get into all the statistics here, but they are grim in a way that’s hard for people in a first world country to begin to comprehend. Walking miles each day for safe water is so far out …
