A Long Overdue Rant...

Heather H. posted an article on - Feb 25, 2011, 11:40 am
As a homeschooler who is passionate about homeschooling, I hate hearing about bad schools and bad teachers. Every news story about a teacher that has taken advantage of a vulnerable student, abused a child, or terrorized a classroom has me angry and upset. Over the years, I've learned not to read ...

Word Nerd

Heather H. posted an article on - Jan 25, 2011, 11:32 pm
I thought I'd blog a bit in hopes that it would calm my obsession with language and words. It's driving my husband crazy. I clearly need an outlet. We're not talking about your standard Grammar Nazi here - no, grammar isn't my area of expertise, even if it does bother me when people use the wrong...

My chickens

Heather H. posted an article on - Jun 28, 2010, 2:21 am
Last winter I decided I was going to take the plunge into urban chickens. Well, ok, technically they're not "urban" when we don't really live in an actual real "city," so to speak, but hey, we have neighbors a rock's throw in either direction. So it totally counts. The biggest hurdle was that the ha...

***WARNING*** Graphic Images...

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 29, 2009, 9:14 pm
Do not scroll down if you're sensitive to the sight of blood, or images of dead things. . . . . . . . . . Still here? Good. My son killed a deer yesterday. If you've been here lately, you'll know that means he brought home a hide for me to tan. In the book I bought, the author called the p...

Who needs building plans?

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 23, 2009, 1:50 pm
The chicken coop plans that I spent a good hour on, carefully drawing and measuring, have been scrapped. The early dark (thanks, time change) and the rainy cold weather have been a big deterrent in getting the coop built this last week. But I had a backup plan, and by the looks of it, it should have...

More on satisfying projects...

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 13, 2009, 11:27 am
So, I'm getting some chickens. 25 of them to be exact, because the hatchery has a minimum order. The plan is to keep them in the kitchen for a couple of weeks, then divide those we're keeping to move outside (just three of them), and move the rest to my country friend's place for the next 4-6 weeks ...

A Satisfying Life

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 12, 2009, 9:18 am
How much do we hear, in some version or another while talking with people, "My life is so unsatisfying." People are lonely and depressed. As a culture, we are bored. We spend so much time and money; buying things, joining clubs, playing games, chatting and texting and facebooking - desperate to get ...

Deer Season

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 9, 2009, 1:35 am
Deer hunting season is upon us - bowhunting now, shotgun next month. Normally deer season comes and goes with me remaining oblivious to its passing, aside from the occasional gift of deer meat from friends. This year is different. My son, all of his life, rejected his dad's offers to go hunting toge...

Trick or Treat!

Heather H. posted an article on - Nov 5, 2009, 11:48 pm
We approached Beggar's Night this year the same as we always do, by putting off making or buying any costumes or accessories until the last minute, to ensure the highest stress level possible. Cadence remained undecided about what thing/person she intended to dress up as until 2 days before. Chad sk...

I'm not doing it. But, I did notice that several other bloggers on my list are, and a few of them commented that they were hoping this would get them blogging again (because you know, they hadn't been) and I realized ... WOW I haven't blogged in months and months. Well, here I am. I'm not making an...

The Tough Stuff...

Heather H. posted an article on - May 30, 2009, 5:03 pm
Every month, I pick up a box of food from Angel Food Ministries. $30 for a box of bulk-purchased food that they say will feed a family of 4 for a week, but I have no problem stretching it out for my family of 5, even if some smaller people are eating more than the bigger people. It's easy to incor...

A new way to burn down your house...

Heather H. posted an article on - Feb 20, 2009, 9:12 am
Chad has been obsessing for months over survivalism (if there is such a word). I don't know where on earth he gets his obsessive nature. ;) First he went through catalogues, sports stores, and camping websites looking for The Perfect Backpack. Then he started comparing nutritional content of differe...

Thoughts...

Heather H. posted an article on - Jan 8, 2008, 1:17 am
"School" was perfect today. Calm. No conflicts with time. No arguments about content. Cadence only said, "I don't get it," six times instead of sixty. I didn't lose my patience one time. Rare, but I can still appreciate how wonderful it could be, if every day were like this. I struggle with Riley's ...
