The Writing CLAW.....

I LOOOOOVE this Writing Claw!!! It's made it so much easier for Elizabeth to hold her pencil. Her fingers simply fit into the little cups and away she goes!!! She would hold it so improperly before that I knew it would lead to handwriting issues later on. I was happy to find this Writing CLAW at our local teacher supply store.

Just wondering.....

Am I the only person NOT on facebook????

Feminism exposed...

I want to get straight to the heart of the issue and expose some of the many and greatest lies of feminism. As you read through this list, honestly ask yourself which of these lies you may have believed in the past or present in some form or another.

Shall we begin?

1. I have my rights.

2. I can have it all.

3. I should not have to live with unfulfilled longings.

4. A career outside the home is more valuable and fulfilling than being a wife and mother.

5. It’s all about me.

6. If my husband is passive I need to lead.

7. If I submit, I’ll be miserable.

8. I have to have ________ to make me happy.

9. Children are a hindrance and a burden.

10. Women are smarter than men.

Butter help....

We've all had recipes that have called for "cold butter, diced".  It's such a pain, in my opinion, to try to dice butter. Even when it's straight out of the refrigerator, it still starts melting pretty fast once your hand starts touching it.

I've discovered a tip that works for me!!  I put the butter in the FREEZER about 20 minutes and then take it out and cut it into sticks and then dice it up.  It's firmer so it cuts more easily and it doesn't melt as quickly when my hands touch it.  After I dice it, I'll put it in a bowl in the refrigerator for a few minutes just to make sure it's cold when I use it.  This way it's perfectly cold for my biscuits or pie crust or whatever I need "cold butter, diced" for!!!

Help!!!!

UPDATE: Problem fixed!! Mr. U realized that Firefox was my problem and did something to fix it (I am NOT computer savvy AT ALL, so I have no idea what he did). If anyone else encounters this strange problem, it may be Firefox!!!!

Is anyone else having trouble posting pictures on blogger??? When I try to, at the bottom left of the screen, it says "waiting to connect to blogger.com" and then changes to "connecting to draft.blogger.com" and they flash back and forth SUPER DUPER fast.

ACK!!!

Any ideas? I've already restarted the computer with no luck.

First day of school....

Yesterday was our first day of school here in our homeschool.  I consider Elizabeth to be in PreK even though her work is all K and 1st.  She is SO excited about learning more. 

I've got pumpkin!!!!

Some of y'all may remember me blogging about the pumpkin shortage. As you can tell by the above photo, I HAVE PUMPKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sweet, real-life friend, Melissa, found the Libby's cans at a grocery store near her and her granny found the other cans at another grocery store!! I was SOOOOO excited when I got them!!

So can you guess what we had today for our meal? Yes, something with pumpkin in it!! Pumpkin Sausage Pasta that my family adores.

Ready for a change....

I just can't help it, y'all.  I am SOOO ready for Fall!!  I am OVER the extreme heat we've had all summer long here down South and ready for cooler days and changing leaves.  The nights have been a tad cooler lately so it only makes me want Fall all the more. 

Anyone else ready for Fall?
