Did you make someone laugh yesterday? Was it intentional?

You gotta laugh or you'll cry, right? We do lots of laughing around here. If you can't laugh at yourself (and your close family members) who can you laugh at? I don't recall anything specific I did to make someone laugh, but it probably happened. Usually it's my absent-mindedness that elicits laughter. I do some of the nuttiest things. (I was actually working on this on Tuesday so I couldn't think of an instance where I made someone laugh on Monday. But now I have something ... last night I surprised one of our softball coach moms with a birthday cupcake with candle in the dugout and had the girls sing 'Happy Birthday' to her. She was delighted and laughed the most beautiful laugh.)

What's a simple question with a complicated answer?

When is your daughter getting married? Well, she is having a family legal ceremony this Friday evening. Then we are going to Mexico for a destination wedding next Tuesday. Then we are having a reception in July.

Rhododendrons or azaleas ... you have to choose. Are either currently blooming in your yard?

Azaleas. No, I don't have any growing in my yard. I planted one bush when we moved in but it died.

May 21st is National Waitstaff Day. Have you ever worked as a waiter/waitress? How would you rate the experience? What was the best/worst part of the job?

When I was 16 I worked as a waitress in a hotel restaurant. I hated that job! The best part was the free food I got to eat (I can still remember the french dip sandwich and baked fish with buttery almonds on top), and the worst part was the after-church ladies that would come in, be super picky, and leave a few cents for a tip. It think it should be a law that every person has to work as a waiter or waitress once in their life so that they can appreciate how hard of a job it is. I am definitely a kind tipper, even if the service isn't so great. I've been there.

What fashion trend for women should be outlawed? How about one for men?

High-waisted jeans or shorts. Why make your butt look even bigger than it already is? For men, track shorts with piping. Yuck!

Name a writer who inspires you ... now tell us why.

Beth Moore makes me see things in scripture that I never would have seen for myself.

What well known quote or saying sums up your plans for today or this week?

    I like that quote you left for #8. That's something I need to do more often!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
