I reviewed Glamorous Illusions, Book 1 in the Grand Tour Series by Lisa T. Begren last year. Since I enjoyed book 1 so much, I was anxiously awaiting book 2, Grave Consequences, release. The Powerful, Epic Romance Continues, Book 2 in Lisa T. Begren's Grand Tour series For Cora Kensington, the journey of a lifetime … [Continue]
In the Kitchen with Linda
While working in the kitchen this week, my daughter learned an important lesson about not wasting ingredients, and making due with what you have. Hannah made four loaves of french bread for her volleyball banquet last Monday. They came out great! On Tuesday, I asked her if she would make some more for us to eat with supper as I had some garlic … [Continue]
Saturday on the Farm – Garden Tour
I got brave this week and cleaned out the front bulb garden. I scrubbed thoroughly when I came in, so I'm hoping to avoid a bad case of poison ivy. Where the line is between the dark hill and the light hill in the back is the road. We let the wild roses and honeysuckle grow up for privacy.

Our Homeschool Week in Review

Jobs are lost, kids get diagnosed with diseases, Mom or Dad get … [Continue]
Homeschooling with Games
We love to play games as a family. They are not only fun, but educational also. We've played games with all six of our children from the time they were very little and just barely able to play Candyland, Chute's and Ladders, and Hi Ho Cherry-O. Don't forget Go Fish, Slap Jack and War. Here are a few of the games we currently have. … [Continue]
In the Kitchen With Linda
The kids were kind enough (??) to share their stomach virus with me. ugh..... So needless to say I haven't spent very much time in the kitchen this past week. We managed to stick to the menu, though. That's what great about simple, home cooked meals and meal planning. If Mom gets sick, the rest of the family can still feed themselves. I have no … [Continue]
