I love your photography and have enjoyed your takes on homeschooling. My hubby and I don't yet have children, but we are planning ahead. Subsequently we are definitely considering homeschooling. I have always been afraid of not being good enough to teach my own children. Hopefully God will bless us and I can be as good and creative as you! Thanks for sharing with all of us...

What fun!<BR/>I actually discovered your blog via a recommendation from your sister Shannon, while shopping at Poets! ;) I visited to view your "take" on homeschool life and I've dropped by almost daily since my first visit! <BR/>I'd say that my favorite portion of your blog would be the sharing of your homeschool life.

I love the photos you take , especially of your boys. The tips for arranging and decorating are so nice -- this is not an area of giftedness for me. You just seem very real, warm, and welcoming.

I love the design elements and the crafting (I do know that's what originally brought me her), but I also love the homeschooling adventures and the sweet photos of your boys. And like Anne said, I like the restful feel of your blog. It feels like a little bit of oasis in the midst of the the chaos of raising my own boys, and is a reminder to me to think of all the wonderful blessings in my life as a mother, rather than dwell on the stresses of everyday mommy-hood. This is the most amazing job I could ever hope or dream to have, and your blog helps me to stop, take a breather, and remember that. So {thank you} and please, please keep the posts coming! ;o)<BR/><BR/>~MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-53030609150986376252008-02-18T09:44:00.000-08:002008-02-18T09:44:00.000-08:00I don't know how long I've been reading, but I kee...I don't know how long I've been reading, but I keep coming back because your blog is restful.

I was first attracted to your blog because of your pictures. You have lovely pictures of your boys (love your levitical sayings!), the country around you (love the northwest!), your home (simply gorgeous), what you're reading (very challenging and informative), times with your family (heart-warming). So you see I can't pick one post as my favorite.<BR/>happy anniversary and keep exploring your gifts.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I see you've added that funky letter thing to rid your world of spammer.
