We've been crazy busy here. Soccer season for my little Caveman and another meet for Flippin Princess this past weekend. We drove to Myrtle Beach, SC with some friends. She competed at the Coastal Classic. Sarah did very well and had a great time.  **Free Pokemon and Starwars Notebook covers at the end of this post!! ** I love technology...specifically Apple Products. I use ALL Apple products. Iphone, Ipad and a Mac desktop. I've never been hacked on an Apple device.  I was *thinking* about switching to an Android phone for the storage. I was getting a pedicure and these two ladies walked in. We started chatting and she had the new Note 9 phone?? Not sure but it was an android phone. She was my age or perhaps a bit older. She was telling me that she had the phone for a few months and had already been hacked. Well, that was the end of that!!!  When my older two children were younger, we'd use a regular HP desktop, etc. I could get a new comput...

I can't believe it's March!!! The time goes quickly!  In Feb. I posted a blog with March's Calendar .  Now I've got April's Calendar and Weekly Calendar!! I don't date them so that you can use them year after year!  We're heading down to SC... Myrtle Beach!! Sarah is very excited. We're traveling with our friends, the Spencers! There are a few times in life where God brings people to you and they quickly become family!! This is them!! I love creating fun, colorful printables, and these cute photos. These girls have worked hard!! Sarah's competing USAG Silver and Khloe is competing USAG Gold!! Gold is a tough level. The competition is fierce and the judges are much tougher on the gymnasts. Khloe worked hard and I'm sure she'll do great! These two really do enjoy each other. What I love is when I hear them encouraging each other, or confessing when they're struggling with something. They push one another to be better, not just in...

How do you edit the documents I provide??  I created a quick video tutorial for you!!! It's so easy to download my documents and very easy to personalize too!!  We are very busy here and I created this quickly!! Not the best video recording, but it should help you.  Here are some examples of the covers i've made.  I haven't created spines for all the notebook covers I've made. If you'd like me to create them for certain covers, just leave a note for me in the comment sections.  I haven't shared my Pokemon cover yet. I'll be doing that next week along with April and Mays Calenders!!!  I also have a Star Wars covers that i'm going to be sharing.  May the Force be with you!!! God Bless and Enjoy!!  Laura

What a great and busy weekend we had!! I can't believe that my 4th child, my baby, my gentle giant turned 8 years old!! It seems like just yesterday I held him in my arms trying to decide a name for him. It took my husband and me a few hours to name him.  We had purchased tickets to see the Kratt brothers months back. We knew Sarah had a gymnastics meet that weekend but never thought it would be on the same day as the tickets!! Turns out it was!! She had her meet, the Brittany Coppedge Invitational in Raleigh at 1pm. The show started at 4:30.  We made it!! David had no idea that we had gotten him tickets. We had also gotten him a new video game for his Ninetendo Switch!! He found out at the meet about seeing the Kratt Brothers.  He is such a sweet young man. I was so happy to surprise him with this.  Sarah had a great time with her event. She didn't do as well on the floor as she had in the past. I saw her face when her team mate KILLED it o...

Our Pastor has been reading through Ephesians. What a great book. It doesn't hurt that our pastor is a wonderful teacher. I usually don't brag about pastors, but this one and his family are amazing!!!  They're sweet, knowledgable and HUMBLE!!  Very real. We are a world that is looking for REAL!! Real followers of Christ! Real People! Real Sinners!!!  If that's the case , you've come to the right place.  Ephesians 2:10 really speaks to me. I created this 36x24 poster.  I'm actually using it as my desktop background on my compter.  What a great reminder that we are HIS!! Created for GOOD WORKS!! In Christ!!  You can download and print out... have it printed out on photopaper and frame!!!  Please do not share this file directly. Have people come here to download it.  God Bless, Laura Click to Download

I have two adult children that I homeschooled through high school.  Can we talk curriculum reviews??  In the 20+ years that i've been homeschooling, i've tried many, many curriculums. Different types, different styles, different prices, etc.  When I started homeschooling, I had many STRONG opinions. Which is really funny, considering I had very little experience.  That is the reason for this post.  With 20+ years of experience what i've learned is what i'm going to share.  Ready?  I don't know that much. Yup.. The older I get, the less I know.  Also,  There is NO bad curriculum.  I'm going to say that again.  THERE IS NO BAD CURRICULUM!!!  I've used, A lpha Omega lifepacs, switched on schoolhouse, Sonlight, My Father's World, Bob Jones, Abeka, Logic of English, Teaching Text Books, Math-u-see, Kahn Academy, Easy Peasy Online, Singapore Math, Apologia Science, Hooked on Phonics, Teach your chil...
