You head to the microwave to warm a cup of tea, and discover that the clay version of the angel of death (complete with sword) beat you to it…

In typical Uber and H-T fashion, Halloween was yet another demonstration of the polar opposites that are my children. Born only 22 months apart, these two young men might as well have been born 30 light years and 747 planets apart.
Here is the pictorial evidence of the differences in their personalities. H-T, of course, is [...]

Every area or region in the U.S.of A. probably has at least one hidden treasure – –
a spot that not everyone knows about, but that is overwhelming in its beauty or resources.
Our area is actually full of those kinds of places, and yesterday we got to spend the whole afternoon at one of them. [...]

Ok, so I totally ran out of time to do a Friday’s HHH post today. It’s been one of those days.
Where the phone rings so much that you get a temporary case of tinnitus.
Where you forget to put a VERY LATE bill into the mailbox, so you have to drive to the post office, which [...]

That’s the name Uber has given himself. We came to the conclusion that we really dislike the term “unschooling”, and interest-led learning is kind of long and drawn out. So Uber came up with “FreeForm Scholar,” which I personally adore.
The coolest part? To commemorate, he has also begun a new blog by the same name [...]

I loved this meme over at Obi-Mom Kenobi’s blog a couple of weeks back, and I’ve been meaning to get around to posting it. In the craziness of this week, a meme is about all I can hardly “eke out”, so hear goes…
1. Extreme pettiness. The year was 1982. Middle school. State cheerleading finals. (Yes, [...]

Did I mention in my last post that we were on vacation for TWO days? Well, that means that there was still one entire blog post to be squeezed out of that little excursion.
On our second day of rest and relaxation (ha!), we headed into the edges of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, [...]

Firefly Mom really pulled out all the guns for her last homeschool field trip, and even got a picture of a big old pile of bear poo. I threw up the white flag on that one.
But I wasn’t daunted for long. I secretly knew that I had a two day mini-vacay coming up that included [...]

I was sitting there, at the dentist office, waiting for Uber to get a cavity filled (his first cavity – – yikes!), and I realized I had already used my mini-container of hand sanitizer three times since we arrived.
Once – after using the pen that you sign in with
