Even though we may be moving in a new direction and Robert desires to work from home, the job search continues. We are no longer limiting the search to Purchasing/Inventory management, but also office management, work-at-home positions on freelance sites such as: Sologig, Virtual vocations, etc. We are being choosey, yet we are not. With [...]

I cannot remember where I read some articles or blog posts about living on other people’s money, but it struck a chord with me. We could technically be accused of living on other people’s money for the past six months. Unemployment compensation is coming from the government. Nevertheless, it is actually Robert’s old boss who [...]

I’m not sure if I am surviving our remodeling. Let’s just say I’m avoiding it with a ten-foot pole. It helps that I also have a high-needs baby who wants to nurse and be in arms all the time. This enables me to multi-task – hold Noah and work on the laptop.
We have been living [...]

I think we already think outside the box in some regards.
Think about it:
We have more than the average number of children
We homeschool, which is definitely against the norm
We have been living on $2100 in income/month for the last five and a half months – that must mean that the Lord has enabled us to think [...]

You’ve heard that people can go through detox for alcohol and drug use/abuse. It has even been said that families withdrawing from public schools to homeschool go through a time of detox as they think outside of conventional thinking and learning. Well, after Mr. Doug Phillips used the later example in a message from Vision [...]

Please remember the Schultz family in your prayers at this time. My daughter just informed me that Mr. Schultz has passed away. I cannot remember where she got her update, so I apologize for not being able to direct you there. I even did a little search and was unable find anything.

I cannot remember where I learned about this, but NASA is offering free cinnamon basil seeds if you participate in their experiment. Here is the link: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/plantgrowth/home/index.html. You will receive an envelope with a package of cinnamon basil seeds that were taken on STS 118 Space Shuttle Mission as well as a package of [...]

Homeschooling provides many opportunities to experiment. We experiment a lot in finding what works best in terms of getting chores done efficiently, in parenting each unique child and even in schooling to see how each child learns. It really helps to read homeschool resources, like those you find in print or online.
However, there are those [...]

Our desktop computer crashed over the weekend. This is a big thing at our house. We have children who need to use it for homeschooling, Robert needs it to look for work and plus we do most of our business on a computer. It should be interesting this week, to say the least.
We are shopping [...]

As you all know, our family loves books, but there comes a time when living in approximately 1100 sq. ft. that some purging has to be done. We are given a lot of books, but not all of them are appropriate or worth keeping, especially if they go against our family’s values. Our children know [...]
