What I have been up to! And other Ramblings

I took a bit of an impromptu blogging break this month with life being so crazy! I was getting stressed out Saturday night so my friend Neona suggested that I journal to sort things out and destress myself. I then came up with the brilliant idea of using a journal T-Tot gave me to make myself a to-do list/day planner so I can mentally see everything I need to do.

It wasnt until I started working on this that I realized it wasnt Paris but Venice! And I have had it for a whole year lol

This is my verse for the year!

I split up everything into seasons!

I am also sprinkling in Bible verses just because! :~)

Its already been a huge help! And if you notice in the picture before this, blog is checked off....and you guys are the lucky ones to receive that checkmark!

The back of it has the note T-Tot left for me Christmas 2014, and the calendar for this year in case I need it! :~)

I shall resume Beautiful Blessings now that I have a journal to remind me about it. ;~) And someday Ill continue the hats...someday lol! We shall just wait and see!

Today's Beautiful Blessings:

~ A journal to keep myself sane!

~ Verses that mean a lot to me!

~ Seeing God's hand in many a thing recently!

~ And growing a bit stronger in my faith each day <3

~ Remembering the lovely Saturday I had this past weekend!

Exciting things in store!

 

Exciting things are in store for the summer! 

Lets see, where shall I begin?

Ah, yes!

"My poor little blog has been lonely you see,

so I'm scheduling posts for y'all to read!

Throwback Tuesday is the only thing that's keeping this alive,

so I've got surprises for the blog to revive!"

Some friends of mine have graciously agreed to write some guest posts for Thursdays during the month of July. The posts they've written are from an array of topics, so I'm very excited! Thank you very much for volunteering!

A weekly science post from my extracurricular science work will be on Saturdays starting July 5th!

(Saturday Science ;~) Clever name right?)

 Keep your eyes out for all these exciting things!

Who knows what Saturday is?

Who knows what Saturday is?

The 1 year anniversary of Home on the Erie Canal!

Remember the very first post?

 

School year is coming. Public schoolers face it in dread, homeschoolers rejoice; unless they did school all summer! :~) We got our school books this week. I was technically going to start this week, just doing Latin and French. That said, I've been busy. Never got it done. My goal is next week!

This is my first year of high school. Feels like I just started in 3rd or something. My one sister is in 1st grade! She has her new books, and is ready to go. Another is in preschool. How did they get to be SO big? This school year will be very different from previous years. I will have a little sister soon. Any day in fact. I have never done school with a new born, 3-6 month sister, yes. But NEVER one this little.

Homeschooling Myths I want to clear up!

1. Many people think homeschoolers get a pass to do NOTHING. That is not true. We do just as much work. This year I have enough books to choke a horse. :~)

2. They also think they wear skirts NON-STOP. I do, 95% of the time, my choice, my Mom and sisters where shorts more often.

3. Homeschooler's live in the middle of NOWHERE. Nope, I live 20 minutes away form at least 2, maybe 3, Walmart's! I live in a small town. Not exactly the wilderness.

4. This myth is NONSENSE. Homeschooler's do school in jammies! Well it is not exactly nonsense. We do, occasionally. :~) I don't. I can't be in my jammies that long. Especially since A) I do it in the afternoon, and B) I can't go to the library or anything.

Don't dread school, it is the best thing since sliced bread!!
