I'm Drawing A Blank...

So lately my blog has suffered from lack of use.  I just can't think of what to write. 

I still have my list of ideas, but I have to find it, because, like everything else I touch, I lost it. 

So this is a pretty boring entry.  I had a birthday, on the 7th, so I am now officially old.  Well not officially, but still.  I am about 4-6 years older than I thought I would be at this point in my life (childless, living with a room mate in an apartment). 

I get to baby-sit at my house now, which is awesome. 

At the end of the month I am going to visit my family out of state.  (Sorry trick-or-treaters, we won't be here to hand out candy)  Which is fun, but sad.  Fun for obvious reasons, sad because my husband works retail so he isn't allowed to have time off at the holidays.  :(  Hopefully they will head over here.

I tried making bread in my bread machine.  It turned out pretty good.  Fruit flies seem to surround it when I leave it out, which is creepy, but seemingly meaningless since no one has gotten sick and its tastes fine.  I also tried my slow-cooker, and the food was pretty delicious if I do say so myself.

On Saturday I am going to the pumpkin patch.  I'm borrowing (baby-sitting) my friends daughter to go along with me and my friend so we don't look quite as weird at the pumpkin patch.

Wow.  This was a super exciting entry.  That was an attempt at sarcasm, which never works in writing, except in dialogue, so we'll try again "Wow.  This was a super exciting entry." she said sarcastically.

Sorry.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
