4 Ways to Supercharge Your Homeschool Curriculum
Keeping kids engaged can sometimes be difficult. Staring at textbooks all day can have an effect similar to a tranquilizer on a student. That’s why, for years, teachers have used activities, projectors, and other supplemental materials to keep students entertained while they learn. But what about homeschoolers? It can be difficult as a homeschool parent […]
The Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ March 30th, 2010
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: March 30 , 2010… Outside my window…the sun is shining brightly. I am told we may hit 70 degrees later this week. That would be nice. I am thinking…that we only have 2 more days until the carpeting goes into our family room in the basement. We are so excited […]
I ♥ Faces ~ Dramatic B&W
The folks over at I ♥ Faces have this to say about today’s challenge: We have had a B&W theme one other time, but for this week’s challenge we are going to be very specific. We are looking for B&W photos that are dramatic, sensational and/or moody in the way they are presented. Please […]
Rules for Living
I found this list of rules, of which I added one or two, in my Lists to Live by book. Of course, in true Heidi style, I have also added my little side bars that relate to things in my life! I think if we followed these rules, not only would our homes be […]
Marriage: Differences ~ Opposites
While moving books around into our new cabinets in the basement I came across a book that my mother gave Joey and I for our Anniversary in 2001. It is called Lists to Live by. Here is one by Dr. Steve Stephens that struck me today: Celebrate Your Differences 10 Areas in Which People […]
Flashback Friday ~ Through the Years ~ Chloe and Danielle
Shortly after we moved in to our first house I noticed the family across the street. It was winter so none of us were outside very much but it did appear as though they had a daughter close in age to Chloe, maybe 6- 8months old. When summer came and we were outside more, I […]

Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ March 23rd, 2010
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: March 23rd, 2010… Outside my window…it is hard to see out my window because the rain has filled the tiny holes in the screens with water! I am thinking…about starting a blog idea for Thursdays on my blog like Wordless Wednesday or Simple Woman’s Daybook with a Mr.Linky in the […]
I ♥ Faces ~ Angles
I ♥ Faces feature photo contest this week is all about ANGLES. Here is what they have to say: We think most of us realize by now that taking a straight-on photo of someone is usually not the best choice for portrait photography. Boring! 🙂 Unusual angles are fun and cool…and they make your photo […]
Learn Something….keeping details to myself
It has come to my attention that if the children say they like something, don’t knock it! While seated at the dinner table we had two different kinds of stuffed rigatoni to choose from. One was a green noodle, which Chloe instantly complained about. The second, a regular “white” colored noodle. I insisted that each […]
Gymnastics ~ Jumping for Fun!
I recently went into the gym after one of Chloe’s practices to take some pictures that would fit I ♥ Faces bill of their theme “Jump for Joy”. In doing so I took some shots that are ones to remember. This one was taken after her coach, Mike told her to do begin a dive […]
Flashback Friday ~ Our Old House
Earlier this week my brother-in-law sent me a picture. He had driven by our old house and decided to take a picture so we could see the changes. It is odd to see the changes that the new owner makes to the outside. Last year they changed the landscaping in front by removing our stacker […]
