We realize that in our recent theme change, we ended up with a front page that is quite the train wreck, but we hope most of the rest of the site works acceptably. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience as we transition from our old site to this one. We are ironing out the glitches as fast as we can! We’ve recently added the Everyday Cooking photo gallery, and we’re adding more posts, Vicki’s Favorites in the shop, an expanded homeschool section, and more! We hope you’ll find it worth the wait — please check back often!

Consider Your Local Homeschool Group I’ve been part of a local homeschool support group for almost 30 years. As a “graduated” homeschool mom now, most of my friends are people I met through the group or other homeschool connections. My children’s homeschool group buddies provided the counterpart to their school […]
I’ve gotten on a sourdough English muffins kick. Do you ever do that? Make the same thing for while? Maybe it’s just me….I guess in the stress of the quarantine/pandemic/life in general, I find the whole process therapeutic and satisfying. So, friends and neighbors have gotten the overflow from this […]
Why Study Civics? A parent recently shared with me that her family has been studying American history this year and has enjoyed learning about the Pilgrims, the battles of the American Revolution, and other stories of our nation’s Founding Fathers and their incredible faith.

As Becky Cooke and Diane Kummer […]
We’re all in quarantine-baking mode out our way. My niece made some AMAZING cupcakes (she really should be a pro baker) and we couldn’t have any (social distancing, and five-hour drive LOL), so we had to at least bake some brownies over here. Some of us like nuts, and some […]
This was originally written for the fall/winter holidays, but seems appropriate at this season of sacrifice and giving right now as we are relying on each other’s kindness and generosity in a global pandemic….. The holidays are just around the corner, and that often means gift-giving . . . and receiving—which […]
In the face of quarantines and curfews related to the recent coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic, many families are not only facing ‘typical’ problems caused by the quarantine itself, but now they must rethink their children’s education.
