that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Titus 2:4-5

Well, it is time for a new school year. The summer has flown by and it is almost time to start school. We have almost all our books. I still need to get one more set of books. I want to start a new feature on my blog and I am calling it Homeschool Moments.  I am planning to have a monthly linkup for all us homeschool moms to feature some of what our homeschoolers are doing in school, and to share any creative ideas we might have.

Another feature I am adding...also a monthly feature...is a game review. We love to play games, so I am planning to feature a game and our thoughts on the game. I think I will let some of the kids join in on the review.

The next feature is a blog link up. I saw that on another blog, and would like to try it on my blog. Maybe this will be twice monthly or monthly.

This one isn't so new, but I would like to have this weekly, but might be less, is a Good Reads post, where I post links to some good blog posts out there.

That's all for now. I would love any feedback on these ideas and if there is something you might like to see on the blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

New House, New Pets

When you move over the ocean, you need to replace your pets. So we got some new pets. A chinese water lizzard and a poodle. Now my husband thinks the poodle is unmanly, so he is looking for a Husky to add to our pets.  :) We also caught a toad in the backyard. I love catching animals like the toad and making them a pet for a short time. The kids get to observe nature and it is so exciting when they find something new and we get to have a new pet for a little bit. So here are some pictures of our newest pets...all but the toad. I don't have his picture yet.  :)

This is Wasabi
 
 

And this is Sushi

Our new little pets.

Moving Blahs

Its been a long time since I posted anything here. Its been a busy couple months. I hope to post here sometime...We finally got our furniture...only to find out that much of it smells like mildew...or worse. So sad. So many things we need to decide what to do with now. And the claims process to go thru. This has been our worst move...things wise. Whine whine sniff sniff.
Oh well...Be back sometime...
