It’s that time again – election season in a Presidential year. Oh my, how I hate it! As a young girl, I experienced my first heart palpitations while listening to preachers proclaim the evil-incarnate that was Bill Clinton. They told us to go home and kiss our religious liberties goodbye, because Clinton was on a …
I love making lists! I write lesson plans each week, a menu, a grocery list, a to-do list on Saturdays (or any day that is different from the norm), a prayer list, and even lists for Sunday school songs. I just like to write things down, and in the case of to-do lists, cross things …
Sickness, dental appointments, homeschooling, and more sickness. That’s what my week has consisted of. That is also the reason for my absence from my blog. On Monday, Matt came down with a terrible stomach virus. It took him a full two days to get over it. Tuesday, Leslie and Laci had milder versions of it. …
It’s hard to believe that it’s already March 1st! Spring is just around the corner. 🙂 To celebrate, I wanted to share (again) my “31 Days of Proverbs 31” series. You can find it HERE. Just click on the day of the month and then print, or read on the screen. It’s not lengthy, but …
It’s hard to believe that we have come to the end of another year. This time last year, I was looking out of our school room window at the tall, swaying pines, wondering where I would be when 2013 ended. I never dreamed that I would be in Oklahoma, and in my own home! The …
Two weeks ago, we had a winter storm that nearly prevented us from going to my mom’s for Thanksgiving. The Lord allowed us to make it safely there and back, with no delays due to weather. The week after a vacation, though, is always weird. Suitcases – seven of them – are lying in odd …
I can’t believe it’s already November! We have been having busy, full days here at the Basham hacienda. Each day, I do my best to have my quiet time with the Lord first. From there, I try to get in a workout, get ready for the day, and then get the kids going. My oldest …
I intended to post this yesterday, on the first day of May, but alas, I ran out of time! It’s hard to believe it’s May already! Of course, by the weather, it feels like February! We are having lots of strong gusts of wind and extremely low highs today – in the 40s! Weird. We …
When Terry and I were shopping for bubble wrap and packing tape, he picked up a new item: shrink wrap! He tossed it into the cart without pause. I said, “What’s that for?” He said, “I don’t know, you never know when it will come in handy.” I said nothing, but was thinking, “This will …
My friend, Ava, is always so good about sharing interesting or helpful blog posts that she finds on the web. She has a regular meme called “Blog Post Roundup”. Usually, I’m not able to find the little gems that she does, but I have found a few, so I thought I’d pass them along. 🙂 …
