DIY projects, thrifty home decor and easy crafts
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
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
Can you guess what we did today? What was your guess? Linking with Ni Hao Y’all, Simple as That
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.)

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
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
For this month in May I used a standard Project Life page protector and one that allowed both portrait and landscape pictures. Very simple layout but I love it. The left page and two pictures on the right are of some of our animals: our black lab Amy, our boxer Annabelle, our cat Callie (the wet freak on the left)… Read More
