One Fine Day: February 2012
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I grew up Baptist. That's all I've ever known. And if someone had ever told me I'd be observing Lent someday I would have laughed. Doesn't everyone know that's a Catholic holiday? Yet I feel drawn to this time of repentance and reflection. What can I sacrifice to grow closer to Christ? Has shared some lovely scripture memorization cards for this and a plan that takes the rest of the calendar year. I hope to memorize it a bit quicker, but we'll see. :). A Time For Testing.

One Fine Day: September 2012

Thursday, September 13, 2012. What Seeds Are You Sowing? This morning was one of those mornings where I thought I was going to ship my girls off to public school if I heard them argue one more time. They were just. not. getting. along. We were taking a break from studies and tidying up when I heard another argument break out. Frustrated, I told them to separate and then meet me in the kitchen in 10 minutes. After they had planted their "seeds" I held up another packet labeled "Peace and Joy". This natura...

One Fine Day: Canning Adventures/Back to School
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/09/canning-adventuresback-to-school.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Canning Adventures/Back to School. Many years ago, in high school, I was in our Future Homemakers of America club. In fact, my junior year I was the president. At the time I found that pretty amusing because I was quite sure I'd never actually BE a homemaker. We still have some peaches waiting to be canned, but I've done about 48 quarts of peaches, pears, and spiced pears so far. September 26, 2014 at 9:34 AM. I cant wait to open up the first jar this winter!

One Fine Day: June 2012
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 3, 2012. While it may seem tempting as a homeschool mom schedule nothing during the summer, I can't seem to let it all go. Call me crazy, but letting the kids choose their own activities twelve-plus hours a day has not worked in our favor! They, and I, need some structure. Create wearable shoes from specific amounts of cardboard, fabric, and duct tape. Here's the link. TIME TO READ TUESDAY. Obvious one here . . . visit the library! Organize the school room - clean out those desks. :).

One Fine Day: Time Flies
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/05/time-flies.html
Friday, May 30, 2014. I was so grateful to Spunky, who is the planner in our family. She had packed a full first-aid kit and it came in handy. Calico skinned both elbows but was so excited to be out on a hike that it barely bothered her. She is becoming quite the brave four-year-old. This photo is definately one of those family photos you remember for a long time. Everyone is looking at the camera and expressing joy. It was good to see your family update. June 6, 2014 at 1:29 PM.

One Fine Day: Why I Cook From Scratch
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/07/why-i-cook-from-scratch.html
Sunday, July 6, 2014. Why I Cook From Scratch. Menu planning. Those two words used to give me despair. I cook three meals a day for six people. Per month that is 90 meals being prepared. The task of sitting down and planning out meals used to be my most hated chore. We did it for a while, but that all changed last fall . . . The family is happy, I'm no longer stressed, and we're eating at home 99% of the time. Win-win. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why I Cook From Scratch.

One Fine Day: Here We Go!
http://ethanandkimberly.blogspot.com/2014/06/here-we-go.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. What a sweetie. :). The home inspection was so much easier than I had anticipated. It was nice that we (and by we I mean Ethan) completely re-organized the garage this weekend, but she didn't even look in there. Same thing for the inside of the fridge and showers, which I had scrubbed like a madwoman. I'm not complaining, though; we have really appreciated having everything so clean and organized for the last few days! June 18, 2014 at 11:22 AM. June 20, 2014 at 11:24 AM.
