Many states require some form of testing or evaluation to show that homeschooled kids are learning. A great place to easily check the laws in your state – or a state you may move to – is HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association.) For my state of New Hampshire, we are required to submit an annual… read more »
My Pug dog, Abby, is always there. Maybe I’ve had a long day with the kids and it seems that nothing I say or do makes any headway. I can always count on Abby to nudge me, wagging her sweet curly pug tail, and flopping over so I can scratch her tummy. She seems to… read more »

I often make banana bread with old bananas, but sometimes that gets, well old. A few weeks ago, I searched through my cookbook and found this recipe – Banana Spice Cookies. They taste similar to banana bread, just a little sweeter and with a touch more spice. And they’re very tasty. I now make these… read more »

I’ve been taking a lot of photos lately (gotta learn how to use my new camera!) I love taking pictures of flowers – for one thing – they don’t move so I can play with the settings all I want without worrying about my subject running away. And the other? They’re beautiful! You can click… read more »
