http://notesfromthehomefrontttk.blogspot.com/2011/07/family-lingo.html
Notes from the Home Front. Sunday, July 24, 2011. I don't remember that pastor or even how old I was, but that comment has stuck with our family! Isn't it funny how each family has its own lingo?

Notes from the Home Front. Thursday, September 23, 2010. Homeschooling in the Cyber Age. Once upon a time, homeschooling was a homespun operation.

Notes from the Home Front. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. It's a team effort! I have a confession to make: I intended to write a completely different post for this blog earlier in the week. Sunday was a busy day for me (see my MOB blog! And when I arrived home in the late afternoon, I was dismayed to find the sink and countered covered in dishes. The kitchen was a mess. The living room wasn't much better. On Monday morning, I was trying to sleep when I heard some unfamiliar sounds coming from the kitchen....
