Dr. Kent’s study continued last Wednesday night and here are my notes. (Photo from Lizzy’s School Program last Friday.) Kids recognize our hurried life before we do. This pace robs us of our ability to impart significance to our children. {My take-away} Plan something each week to do with each child that you will not [...]

JJ and I have decided that we’re going to homeschool Lizzy (2ND) and Ally (K) next school year. The reactions from the critics have been mixed. Most are kind, yet have that “you guys are growing a third eye” look. No it’s not the payments to the private school (though I must say I’m looking [...]

OK if you are not responsible for buying eye glasses for you or someone else, you may skip this one. Man do I have a deal for you! A few weeks ago I read a blog on 43folders about purchasing prescription eye glasses online. After reading the article I knew I would be needing a [...]
Last Friday my Dad and I went to “Bill Waller” and caught 30+ brim. Cleaned them, fried them, and ate them all within an hour. It was primitive living at its finest. I went to the Southern Miss vs. LSU baseball game last night. The Eagles lost their 3rd straight, after being on a tear [...]
As of last week we have our garden “in the ground”. A few years ago we planted a small garden in an effort to teach our kids about how things are planted, grow, and harvested. However at the time we didn’t have the appropriate tools. We borrowed someone’s tiller to break up the ground, but [...]
