FFYF: New Baby Edition
So, a friend of mine called this week, all excited because her daughter was on her way into the hospital to give birth to the family's very first grandchild. The boys heard me take the call, so they knew what was going on. Some time later I discovered the trick to...

They Don’t Speak My Language
We've had the dog for seven months now. She's adorable and wonderful, but not completely housebroken. I think it has something to do with the fact that we're constantly just taking her out instead of encouraging her to let us know she needs to go. Well. Hubby and I...
FFYF: Forgetfulness Edition
I know I had at least two very hilarious stories this week that I wanted to share, but neither one is coming to mind now. After wracking my brain for hours, I give up! I must be getting old or something. 🙂 I do have a smile to share: last night the older boys went to...

Okay. As of today, the boys and I are still at home doing school. We don't have everything solved, but I think we made a good decision or two last week. There are multiple issues: scheduling, responsibility, and the whole unwillingness to leave the house or try new...
FFYF: End of a Tough Week Edition
Whew! We made it to Friday. I have updates and developments to share, but for today let's just think happy thoughts, shall we? My weekly giggle: Last night all the boys and the dog went out and played in the rain. When they came in soaking wet I insisted that people...
Am I a Failure as a Homeschooler?
I've had the "add new post" window open on my laptop for two days now. I stare at the blank screen, unsure of what to type exactly. I want to tell you about our latest homeschooling.....mess. But it's messy. I don't even know how this is all going to turn out, and I'm...
FFYF: The Spritzinator Edition
Welcome again to Fun For Your Friday! This week, FFYF has officially become a blog carnival (the site Blog Carnival.com no longer exists). See below for some hi-stinkin-larious submissions. First, here's my giggle for the week. Back when we first got the puppy, we...
