Beach Trip

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time together on our family beach trip. We shared a condo with my sister and her family in North Myrtle Beach, SC
Taking in the waves and sun, shopping, eating, and laughing till we cried over silly things. Yes, this is what VACATION means to us!!

Gardening

A view of our little garden.....peas, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers,
squash, carrots, watermelon and cantelope.
My brother-in-law has the corn and potatoes.

Oh my, something has been in my watermelon plants!
Look at those footprints!
A few days ago our dog Elllie was chasing out the deer.

Tiger Lilies that are beside the garden.
These beauties have been coming up
for at least 50 years or more in this same spot!

Summer Projects and Fun Giveaway

We are so busy during the school year that sometimes we neglect teaching our children the importance of homemaking skills. Often, our busy schedules dictate our lives, meals, chores, etc.

Slow down this summer and take time to teach some of these simple homemaking skills to your children. Take a look at this awesome FREE ebook from Future Christian Homemakers.
Includes lessons, devotions, and recipes for free!! The recipes for teaching little ones in the kitchen look yummy! I would love to incorporate this into our homechool meetings this fall.

Oh yeah.........Take a look at Vickie's giveaway over at Mid-Ohio Quilter!! What gorgeous gifts, Moda Charm packs, fat eighth bundle, and a cute little pin cushion.
