Keeping It Classy

I like to think I am classy. But then I think of the long list of unclassy things I do, and realize its just wishful thinking.
Classy ladies do not (but I do):

Go outside in their pajamas (to let the dog out or turn on/off sprinklers) while holding their arm across their boobs so no one can see they are not wearing a bra. They probably don't go outside in their pajamas at all.
Let their yard get over ran with weeds. Seriously, I work on the garden area, but all the stupid flower beds are COVERED in weeds, and they come back like crazy. I hate to admit it, but Michael and I are going to be using poison spray for everywhere except our food garden. Its just overwhelming!
Let their grass get almost a foot tall (or at least the weeds). We don't have a mower (Michael is working on rebuilding an old one his friend gave him. We also don't have a truck, so we have to wait until our generous friend is able to bring his over for us to borrow. So we have the worst yard on the block.
Think that a ponytail is a suitable substitute for a shower some days.
Wear jeans to church. Especially not churches where the men all wear suits and the women wear dresses.
Think that their husband's boxer shorts (which he just wears as shorts when he is around the house, not underwear) are an acceptable alternative for a slip under skirts.
Have their bra straps show.

And the one that got me thinking about this:

They do not use their dog run as a clothesline.

Yup, I should just accept it, I am not classy, I am trashy!

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 because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
