Many people assume that one of the reasons I homeschool my children is because I want to shelter them. They couldn't be more right. I'm not going to deny that I want to shelter my children from things going on in the world or in traditional schools. There is no point in pretending, I want ...
With life, living but also missing writing, blogging, and twittering. There were swimming lessons. Kara, the youngest and the most stubborn, did very well. No crying, no fit throwing, and no failing. Money well spent, but I wish we had more time in the ...
Tomorrow we are leaving for a family vacation. We haven't taken a vacation for a few years other than a few long weekends here and there and we are excited to be getting away, leaving our work and worries behind us, and the opportunity to explore somewhere new. Unlike other vacations I have planned, this ...
Over the weekend I had one of those moments when I flashed back to nearly seven years ago when I was working 80 hours a week, my house was a mess, and my family life, well, wasn't a family life at all. The wake up call I got was a a very large long leaf ...
Five months ago I thought my life was busy but now, I feel like I am living life in the fast lane. I am constantly going, constantly juggling, and constantly lacking in some area of my life. Right now the person getting the short end of the stick would be me. And while I am ...

On January 2nd I wrote "Before 37". Little did I know that a few weeks later I would have a job and be the busiest I have been in sometime. Homeschooling kids and working has been quite a challenge these past few months. I've come to realize the importance of being organized, setting limits, ...
I am not sure where to start. I am absent from blogging. I could say it is work and the kids but that wouldn't be the complete truth. Busy doesn't even begin to describe the last week of my life. Or the things I have seen or experienced. This past week thousands, and I mean thousands ...
I used to read a lot of blogs. Mostly blogs written by women about motherhood. I still have over 100 in my reader and a few I have bookmarked that I just love to go and read to see the eye candy on their site surrounding all the authors words but lately, I am reading ...
I want to linger under the covers While the kids argue over breakfast and toys and what they are going to wear today Not a morning person, no matter how hard I try to be. My calendar is full Work Play Kids And I think "I am no super mom" I need a lazy day to read to sew to watch movies or to sleep. My mind is ...
Welcome to my blog! I'm Kim, a thirty-something wife and homeschooling mother of five. I'm a foul mouthed, Jesus loving liberal whose hobbies involve cooking and sex with the infamous Mr. K. I live in the Bible Belt on the Gulf Coast of Alabama and I can assure you life here is anything but boring.
