Oceans

Sunset along the Pacific Coast at Pacific Grove, California Not So SAHM

I took this picture in Pacific Grove, California in February 2015. When I was editing it tonight it made me think of one of my favorite songs right now – Oceans by United. The very first line is “You call me out upon the waters”. Lately I’ve been getting the feeling that God is preparing usContinue reading “Oceans”

Project Edit 365

I love this blog – and I love posting – except for when I haven’t posted in a while, then I get overwhelmed at not posting – and I feel like my first post back has to be an amazing one – and my life has been so busy with “mommy” things lately that IContinue reading “Project Edit 365”

I’llContinue reading “Roadschooling East to West – Up the Pacific Coast Highway”

Roadschooling – East to West: Hooray for Hollywood

I know I’m not talking much about schooling anymore. The girls have been doing a daily page each day that includes some math, copy work, daily calculations, etc. They’ve also been filling out a state page for each state we go through. This day they filled out their last state page: California! The drive fromContinue reading “Roadschooling – East to West: Hooray for Hollywood”
