Discipline came up on my happy little homeschool yahoo group last week, and I thought I’d share some more since it was on my mind already… you see, I’ve got some pretty hard and fast parenting theology. I came to it the long way around, but it stuck.
I get pretty riled up by the [...]

That’s what he asked me on the phone tonight.

Feels much like 30.
It is my mom’s birthday too.
I’m taking my kids to play pirates with friends… “Avast ye scurvy dog!”

ZOINKS!
I love made up words and I really love words that have just the right sound to express the emotion they should carry. Onomatopoeia.
I’m happy that this whole alphabet thing is done… it was going good for a while, but it got kind of old and tired once the holidays came.
It’s a new year. [...]
