It’s A Party!!!

Ultimate Blog Party 2011

This is my first time participating in the Ultimate Blog Party.   I’ve been debating all day as to whether or not I want to post.  And if I write a post what do I say?

As I sit and ponder and fret and wonder, I end up with Mercy Me’s  “No More, No Less” song running through my head.

“Let me introduce myself to you.  This is who I am. No more, No Less”

Maybe I should just let you listen to the song for yourself.  It’s become a theme song of sorts for myself.  Like the lyrics state “I’m just trying to be real.”


Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

So who am I?  I’m not sure how to answer.  I could tell you things like, I’m married with four daughters or that I’m Christian.  I could tell you that I like to read and I like to cook.  Or maybe I should tell you that I home educate my children? Maybe I should warn you that sometimes I just ramble on about whatever’s on my mind.

I’m still trying to figure out exactly who I am and this blog is my way of processing my world!  Thanks for stopping by!

    I'm so glad you joined in UBP11 this year - I think you'll be glad, too. =) I met SO many great bloggers at last year's UBP, that I still connect with now.

    I think we're all kind of trying to figure out who we are and how we fit, aren't we? I know I am!

    Have fun partying! =)

    Thanks for sharing this. I like Mercy Me but have never heard this song. I wish I were more comfortable in my own skin. The older I get the easier it becomes.

    That is the question, isn't it? Who AM I? :) I had a hard time figuring out how to introduce/describe myself in my UBP post, too. I think you did a fine job of telling us who you are, though, and I'm happy to meet you! Have a great weekend!

Blog Celebration Giveaway!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! ...

Yes I am specifically writing this post to link up to the Friday (I know it's not Friday!) Homeschool Blogger Link Up hosted by the Homeschool Review Crew a division of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.  This Crew Blog's post is Homeschool Review Crew Needs You.   Yep we want to grow the crew an to do that we need more home educating bloggers.  But not just bloggers.  We want Vloggers too!  Are you an active You Tube Vlogger?  We have a section in the 2019 Crew Application just for you! Now that you know why I am writing this post let me tell about my long term love affair with the Homeschool Review Crew.  We meet to speak when it was brand spanking new in 2008.  An online friend and co-moderator with me of an online email group for home school support had just embarked on the Maiden Voyage of this new concept of receiving home school product in exchange for a review!  Back in those days you didn't have to be a blogger you just had to...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspir...
