My life is crazy. The end.
There’s a trail near our place named “Brown Dog,” so hence, the name of our menu. Menus need names. Week One has passed, so I am posting past tense. Working on getting my game back. Ha! January 1, 2017 – January 7, 2017 Sunday, January 1 – I believe we had breakfast for dinner. Long …
Goodbye 2016. Boy, has it been real. I really didn’t expect it to end this way, but I am really looking forward to the journey in 2017. God has brought me this far, and I’m still trusting Him to lead.
It’s been a good, long while since I’ve posted anything. Part of that is laziness, part of that is a “dry spell,” and part of it is just being plain busy with “real life.”
I had a mom tell me I needed to start blogging more. That was several months ago, and it has been nagging at the corners of my mind. What do I have to say that would inspire anyone? Maybe nothing.. maybe something.
Culture. Shock. Are you ready for it? I don’t think.. rather, I KNOW I had no clue what I signed up for when my husband and I decided to host international students.

That is, until I look really close and find that there’s always something I’m going to wish was just a *tad* bit different. I have found that no curriculum in and of itself is perfect, and it’s …
..Hello 2014. Today was our first day “back,” and what did we accomplish? Well, I had an appointment this morning, but the girls were showered and had finished their devotions before I returned. We completed today’s spelling lists and handwriting. Then we turned on the Wii for some Zumba Kids and Wii Sports. PE done. …
I’m tired and grouchy and I need a time-out. There. I said it. This morning started off with the youngest telling Daddy she thought Saturday was too far away. He agreed. I agreed. And that small statement seemed to set the tone for the day. I felt bad for my girls. They got to deal …
Setting goals and getting started.. and the day ended with giggles and smiles! Success! I will post a “second day of school” picture tomorrow. Why? Because I’m lame, and forgot to take a picture today. That’s being real, people. And you know what? I don’t really feel that bad about it, because every other part …
