Random Five on Friday {March 7th Edition}

-

It’s Friday again!  I love this meme.  I get to pick five random things to chat about with my readers!

1.  Today is my sister’s birthday.  As usual I have forgotten to mail a card.  I am *lousy* with things like cards and letters.  I doesn’t mean I don’t love my friends and family it just means I do a lousy job of keeping track of cards and dates.

2.  Great Lent started this week.  We made it to liturgy on Wednesday night and we’re planning to make it tonight.  I love the Friday night pre-sanctified liturgies because they are followed by “Soup Supper and Talk”.  Every year Father gives a mini-class and they have always been so interesting!

3.  Cucumbers make a great scoop for pico de gallo.  I wanted chips and salsa but I needed to not eat too many chips. The cucumbers taste better with pico de gallo than with ranch.  Just saying.

4.  I published my first review for the 2014 Review Crew this week.  It’s a chore planner by Motivated Moms.  You need to check it out!

5.  Honeybear didn’t go completely clean shaven.  He’s got a close clipped goatee.  He’s been trying out a pair of contacts this week.  He’ll try another brand next week and then make a decision as to which he likes best.  We all keep doing double takes as we try to get used to his new look. He’s handsome so I guess I’ll keep him. Open-mouthed smile

Blog Celebration Giveaway!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! Required for first entry:  Tell me what you would purchase with

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a

Yes I am specifically writing this post to link up to the Friday (I know it's not Friday!) Homeschool Blogger Link Up hosted by the Homeschool Review Crew a division of The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.  This Crew Blog's post is Homeschool Review Crew Needs You.   Yep we want to grow the crew an to do that we need more home educating bloggers.  But not just bloggers.  We want Vloggers too!  Are you an active You Tube Vlogger?  We have a section in the 2019 Crew Application just for you! Now that you know why I am writing this post let me tell about my long term love affair with the Homeschool Review Crew.  We meet to speak when it was brand spanking new in 2008.  An online friend and co-moderator with me of an online email group for home school support had just embarked on the Maiden Voyage of this new concept of receiving home school product in exchange for a review!  Back in those days you didn't have to be a blogger you just had to have a place such as a home school s
