Autumn Plans

A lot of people say they are making a "Fall Bucket List", but I don't like that term, because: I prefer the word Autumn to Fall, it just sounds prettier, and because its called a bucket list because its stuff to do before you "kick the bucket", and while I can't make any guarantees, I don't PLAN on kicking the bucket before Winter starts.

I am a stickler for not starting seasons before they start, so I won't be making an Autumn 2013 album on Facebook until September 22nd.  I don't really know why it irritates me when people start saying its Fall/Autumn as soon as school starts, it doesn't really matter at all. 

Anyways, these are some things I really want to make sure I do before December 21st 2013 (the beginning of Winter).

  • Go to the pumpkin patch - I have gone for the last couple years, and want to go again this year.  Miss Baby needs pumpkin patch pictures!
  • Make candy corn dresses for the girls to wear to the pumpkin patch.  Or buy them from Etsy if I were not both poor and cheap.
  • Rake leaves into piles and let the girls jump in them.
  • Go apple picking.
  • Take the girls "puddle jumping".
  • Buy a pair of rain boots (hopefully before the puddle jumping!)



Do you have anything you want to do this Autumn?

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

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

This was actually one of my more popular posts when it was first published, but I still thought I would share it again.  Any additions to the post are in pink, as usual :) Accidental Pregnancies - So I have been trying for years to get pregnant, you go slut around and accidentally get pregnant? Immediate Pregnancies - You quit taking your birth control last month and now you are pregnant? People Who Give You Retarded Advice -            - Just stop trying and you will get pregnant            - My friend adopted a baby and got pregnant right away, you should do that            - Get drunk, people always get pregnant when they are drunk (Yes, they do.

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."
