Be Back Soon...



In case you hadn't noticed, we've had some difficulty with our computer (re: pictures) lately. Our computer, ahem, 7 years old and counting, had literally .03% memory left...or something. I had over 10,000 pictures on it, and along with our large (and unabashedly divine) mix of itunes songs, it wasn't cutting it. We had to take all our pictures and upload them onto the web (thank you, drop box!) and cut them out of our computer memory so we could go on using this puppy for another couple of years.

In the meantime, all the pictures of the kids I uploaded from Picasa...and those are all gone! DOH! While I can remember a few of what was in the looming black boxes all over my blog, I can't remember all of them. I'll twiddle my fingers, insert a few I can remember, and that will be it. Sad, but at least not as sad as having my computer crash and loosing all of them! If anyone knows how to recover such things as lost blog pictures, I'm all ears...or rather, eyes.

I actually had a full week of posts planned but with this happening, I kind of threw my hands up in the air and ate some more Easter candy. I'll see y'all next week with some book reviews, an Individual Game for Youngin's post, and of course some pretty visual images from Pinterest. You'll survive. I know the candy, however, won't.

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov

July Reads

Birch Bay Sunset, rainbow hues July has been hot out here. When you live in the top story of an apartment building, and there's no air conditioning, it can feel just over the needle of uncomfortably warm when the day is above 76 degrees. We've kept blinds shut, windows open, and a fan continually blowing as it's perched in our living room window well. Just about the only thing I feel like doing after a long day is laying on the couch straight in the fan's air circulation path, and read a good book. I had some unique picks this month. * #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso  This book was just plain fun to read. Amoruso developed the iconic ebay store NastyGal way back when vintage selling on ebay was a thing. Now she's a millionaire with a kicking website that she started from scratch and didn't owe a dime to anyone else for. It's a great 200 pager with stories on dumpster diving for daily food, entrepreneurship tips, and being the backwards kid that no one t

Top 10 Books of 2017

early sunset in Ft Langley  I love reading all these "Top 10" lists of favorite books read throughout the year, so I'm adding my two cents.  I'm involved in a Book Club that I love with women from our church, a small group that meets every week and goes through a book every few months, my own list, books I'm reading aloud to the kids and  books I'm reading for educational purposes (think professional development). I took a look at all of those combined and this is what I got, in no particular order:  *  The Problem of God  by Mark Clark - I loved going through this academic apologetic book with my friends from church. It led us to great discussion, and good food for thought. I listen to Clark's sermons every week and so knew I'd probably love his writing style, too. If you have objections to Christianity, or are feeling confused about what to believe, this is a great primer.  * You're Smarter Than You Think  by Dr. Thomas Armstron
