    This week in pictures and life

    I know I’ve been slacking off a bit lately with Thanksgiving and such, so I thought I’d post an update with pictures! I decorated for Christmas, turned the office into my work space, and made a hat and scarf set for etsy! It’s actually for real people, and fits an adult, but I thought the…

    Etcetera

    I hope everyone had as great of a thanksgiving as I did. We went up to my in-laws and I brought Zucchini bread and chocolate cream pie for dessert. We chatted with friends and drank sparkling cider and went around the table and shared what we were thankful for. Looking back, I really have alot…

    Publicity

    I recently launched a fan page for my etsy store, so if you’ve been there and like what you see, make sure you check it out and become a fan! Also, my sister in-law featured my article on The Box on her review site, the pickled wookiee.

  • The Box :: Thoughts

    The Box :: Thoughts

    [dailymotion id=xa1bks] The Box…is actually a movie about a button, and quite frankly, it pushed mine. Though, it did so much more than that – it was deeply moving, and while unappreciated by myself, I left the theater unable to stop thinking about it and how it affected me. The subtleties and metaphors were not…

    Psyched

    Just a note to say I’ve officially been accepted into Regent University and I start taking classes in January. I’m very excited and can’t wait to start – I’ve always liked school and I think I’ll really enjoy the classes, I just need to get used to the online system (that likes internet explorer and…

  • Apples

    Apples

    A few weeks ago, we went apple picking and consequently, we ended up with a ton of apples. So I was trying to figure out something to do with them, and found a cool website that had apple recipes. I didn’t have raisins so I just skipped that part, but the apples turned out great. I…

    Hopechest tips

    It’s sort of a cultural thing with homeschool girls to start preparing for marriage by building a hopechest. As old fashioned as it sounds it’s actually incredibly useful to have after you’re married. Quite a few friends of mine have been working on theirs for years, I didn’t start mine until I was in a…

    It Happens To Everyone

    So yesterday was another first. On Monday the battery light on the car went on, so we called to set up an appointment at the mechanic’s on Tuesday. The earliest we could schedule was today, Thursday – our mechanic is about an hour and a half north of us, in the town my in-laws live…

  • Brainstorms and Flies in My Kitchen

    Brainstorms and Flies in My Kitchen

    Brainstorms are what happen when your thoughts swirl around until they rain onto paper (or a keyboard). They’re also a nice way to spice up a gloomy weekend. Last fall I discovered that listening to Owl City actually helps me with my brainstorming process. It may seem odd, but it helps me focus and think…

  • Math and such

    Math and such

    I’m retaking algebra this week (because I could never understand it) to prep for the SAT. I’ve finally got a curriculum I can understand, but I still wonder….who’s idea was it to apply reverse numbers and powers and do math backwards and call it advanced? I’m sure it’s great for scientists, I’m just not quite…
