New Blog for Educational Content

I decided to start a new blog to contain any educational posts I write. "Delightful Education" is found at www.delightfuleducation.blogspot.com. The kids are helpful guinea pigs in this endeavor, so there will be lots about what is working in teaching them. I also love to share helpful resources that inspire and excite me. And I will share much about Charlotte Mason since her methods are the heart and soul of our homeschool journey.

A favorite pastime for this goofy boy.

Tea House

Elizabeth and I went to the Cozy Tea for a little tea and Secret Keeper Girl devo. I loved the tea sets around the store and some of the old fashioned pictures on the wall. It was quite a popular place ~ we even saw a lady from church with her daughter. The lady used to teach Elizabeth in Sunday School, so it was very neat for Elizabeth to see her again.

I had Irish Cream tea with a strawberry truffle, and Elizabeth had strawberry tea with a black raspberry truffle.

Who Would Have Thought?

I grew up without a TV, and now my kids are using cutting-edge devices.


Oldest and youngest are quite the pair.

The First Day of our Trip to Louisiana

I love the beauty of the morning as you're driving down the highway. 12 hour drives are a little long. The first 9 hours are okay. Those last 3 are killer. But the freedom-feeling of traveling makes up for long drives.



Breakfast at McDonalds per usual.



We encountered rain at our first rest stop. The kids ran up against the "wall" of rain.



The kids loved the swing Aupa put up in the "family tree".
