Life in the Button Factory: Christmas is coming!
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-is-coming.html
Monday, December 01, 2014. OK, I'm trying something new here, so hopefully this will work. For the last seven or eight years, I've put together a calendar of activities for our family to do during the month of December. (That's not the new part.) Back in the dark ages, I made a paper chain and fastened it on the wall, like a caveman. It is completely impossible that they were ever this little. Somebody must have been using a trick camera. Now that both my kids are older (read: have more demanding homesch...

Life in the Button Factory: Watch Me Grow
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/11/watch-me-grow.html
Monday, November 17, 2014. Both of my children were born toward the end of the month, so I pop this banner up in the kitchen at the first of their birth month. Each year we add a current picture. It is so much fun to watch my babies transform into little ones, then school age, and now into their teens through this simple banner. I always think of the sweet old ladies in the grocery store/post office/restaurants who would tell us frazzled moms with babies and toddlers to "Savor every minute! Me Me Me Me.

Life in the Button Factory: Homeschool Week in Review (Week 11)
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/11/homeschool-week-in-review-week-11.html
Monday, November 10, 2014. Homeschool Week in Review (Week 11). This week we studied the name Melek, which means King. This was another name that overlapped with a title given to Jesus. (We learned earlier that God is Jehovah Shalom- the Lord is Peace- and Jesus's was also the Prince of Peace.) God is King of everything, just as Jesus is called King of Kings. For God is the King of all the earth;. Sing to him a psalm of praise. I can't remember a single thing about this past week's math! We read about Mu...

Life in the Button Factory: Whatcha Readin? Week 46
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/11/whatcha-readin-week-46.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Another week, another thriller. I'm telling you, next week I'm going to read Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms. To balance myself back out! By Rachel Abbott is the story of a woman, her three children and her unstable, obsessed husband. What could possibly go wrong? The woman- Olivia- and her children disappear, and the case is assigned to Detective Tom Douglas, who has actually investigated three. It might have worked, if I'd been able to read Robert's parts slower. ha!

Monday, January 26, 2015. How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love LOAD. Because LOAD is the bomb! See what I did there? I crack myself up.).

So how did I go from a LOAD Loser to a LOAD Lover? 1 This is my HOBBY, what I do for relaxation and creative fulfillment. If I make it stressful, what's the point? My family w...

Life in the Button Factory: Whatcha Readin? Week 45
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/11/whatcha-readin-week-45.html
Wednesday, November 05, 2014. Another perk of being an Amazon Prime Kindle user is Kindle First, a program that gives you the opportunity to read certain books the month before they're released. My Sister's Grave. By Robert Dugoni is a suspenseful thriller. In other words, Amazon lured me way out of my typical genre with this one! Me, reading My Sister's Grave. I made it through the first two-thirds of the book just fine, but that last third- EEK! Yep Another thriller. This one is called Sleep Tight.

Life in the Button Factory: One of our November traditions
http://aebidabbadoo.blogspot.com/2014/11/one-of-our-november-traditions.html
Monday, November 03, 2014. One of our November traditions. I absolutely love fall! I love the crisp mornings (when we can get them in South Texas! I love college football; I love to cook comfort food like soups and apple muffins; I love everything about fall- except pumpkin spice anything. But that's a story for another day. For the last several years, I've seen friends on Facebook using the month of November to post one thing each day that they're grateful for. What a great idea! The vision for our Than...
