How to Create Your Own Unit Study

By Marty Walden · 11 Comments

How to create your own unit study, that is the question! As a homeschooling mom of 19 years I’ve put together many different studies on varied topics through the years. I thought I’d share a little bit about the process I use. One of the most fun things we do at least once a year is a unit study night…. Read More

Scrapbooking with Project Life

Scrapbooking with Project Life

By Marty Walden · 3 Comments

I am terribly behind in my Project Life memory keeping this year. Although I’m fairly up to date with getting my pictures edited and developed, I have not gotten them in the album. I also have much of the memorabilia together so it’s a matter of choosing the page sizes and orientation, printing off some blog journaling, and I’ll be… Read More

Project Life June 2012 Week 5

By Marty Walden · 1 Comment

This is my last Project Life June layout. I don’t worry about being caught up so much anymore. (And actually I’m pretty caught up. I’m just blogging a month behind.) Since I’m doing more of a weekly/theme layout I am tending to do layouts a month at a time.   I may spend some time pulling together journaling, and of… Read More

Simple as That July 29, 2012

When I got a new camera at the first of the year one of my hopes was to take better pictures inside our home. Having recently taken my camera off automatic (yes, it took me six months to work up the courage) I’m still learning. Especially when my family is active and I’m trying to capture a moment without them… Read More

For those of you who may wonder why I share my scrapbook pages each week, go read my Project Life philosophy and how I’m incorporating it into my albums this year. I was burned out earlier in the year with the picture a day idea since I’ve done that for three years now. Changing it up by focusing more on themes or… Read More

Deal of the Week

Deal of the Week

By Marty Walden · 1 Comment

Yardsaling on Saturday sure was fun! Joshua’s girlfriend spent the night with us so she could be in town to go early the next morning with us. She’s a newbie but we inducted her into our family yard sale adventures. Rachel came in from Lexington and S went with us as well. It was not the best week as far… Read More

Family Blessing Jar

Family Blessing Jar

By Marty Walden · 128 Comments

  Our family blessing jar is a  tradition that goes back to 1999. At that time we just had two children and couldn’t possibly have even imagined the changes the next few years would bring, with both joys and trials. Our family expanded in 2000 to include 3 adopted children as well. As our family (which now also includes a son-in-law) has… Read More
