Unsubscribed...

Ouch. I feel guilty doing it. Over the last few weeks, I have noticed certain of my favorite bloggers are AWOL. Only they aren't. It takes me actually clicking on their blog name to see if they are still there. My feed has been flooded by advertisement blogs. I don't mean people trying to raise money for an adoption or a hard working blogger who also shares what they are have to offer in the way of product. I mean only ads. So, after Googling "how to unsubscribe" to a blog (yes, I am still that in the dark about such things), I did it. On a few of the blogs, I realized that I had subscriptions elsewhere on Face*book or by email.

Now I won't miss important updates about people sleepwalking, my grandson playing au natural (covered by those silly looking photo dots for public viewing ;)) in the baby pool, important information about igneous rocks, or a special feast day being celebrated!

Now, if I can only figure out how to get rid of the stupid smile*box toolbar that I accidentally installed (how does one do that?). It is gone from my control panel, but it still on the computer screen! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    I still cannot unsubscribe to certain ones. And it makes me so frustrated!

    I dunno how to fix the smilebox thing-maybe go to your computer, go to programs and unistall it?
    BTW-thanks for your prayers and note you sent me on my blog about the ugly sitzie we have had with my brother in law over this adoption stuff-and yep, it is about that. It is insane how he has been 'attacking' us and my friends. So sad. SO very, very sad. Oi. But thanks for the uplifting prayers-it meant a lot to me!

    How's this for doing things backwards...I don't read my favorite blogs through my control panel...I go to my blog page and scroll down my favorite places to see the updates! I am really UN savvy in many ways when it comes to blogging. It would be fun to sit around over coffee and glean tips with one another!

Our Morning Time

Look at me writing 2 posts so close together!! So... I have loved listening to the podcasts on morning time called "Your Morning Basket". I have listened to all of them. Very inspiring! They are all worthwhile to listen to, but I have to tell you that episode #2 with Andrew Pudewa is a game changer (in the homeschool sense). We have had our own variations on morning time in our house. When my girls were younger (they are now 31, 30, 28 and 22 years old), we had "seat work time" and "couch time". I'd say that couch time was our version of what is now being called morning time. For the most part, we read historical fiction, discussed history (I would either read from or discuss from a text), learned a little geography, read the bible, had prayer time, and had some pretty fun discussions. There was a transition when my now 28 year old became sort of a teachers helper for her younger sister. I remember working on art appreciation with her at the h...

Week in Review: February 1-5 2016

Image
Lots of baby care around here as the boys' big sister (our second daughter, Jessica) was having her fifth baby. It was a week full of sword fighting, cuddles, disney movies, books, and coloring. It's also been a week full of colds. The 2 year old twins had a cold, which I assume James caught from them (although every one in the world seems to have it, so not necessarily). The problem is that no matter how many times I caution the boys, who can resist cuddling with a sweet little toddler who does not feel well? I guess germs are meant to be shared. In the way of school, we have been in "keep up" mode. Paul's strongest focus is on his Dave Ramsey finance class (which I highly recommend), his Spanish class, and his economics course. http://www.daveramsey.com/store/search.ep?keyWords=homeschool http://www.livinglanguage.com/languagelab/spanish  (I cannot recommend this highly enough. The books and cds make it easy to open and go. Additionally, the...

Din-spiration Part 6

Image
This is sort of a lighthearted post, but I am going to start by saying that all those in Paris and the World are in my prayers. There are never words when something so unspeakable happens. As it has been pointed out, it happens far more often that we usually hear about in places that are more obscure to most of us. I'm going to continue with this planned post as most of us still have "normal life" to attend to and families to feed amidst this very stressful backdrop. To keep myself accountable, I was going to keep up posting about my crusade to eat at home. I have failed the last few weeks, but the resolve to eat at home has not! The great thing is that on the days when resolve wanes in me, my husband picks it up. He is often the one to encourage me that he can stop by and pick up an ingredient I forgot, or to step in and create a dish himself. He chose make us a Lasagna last week- for me, that is a more involved dinner than I will take on a week day. Rather than...
