Do You Know A Homeschooling Family?
Chances are you know a homeschooling family personally or you know of one in your community. I’m not sure what your opinion is, but there is an array of opinions going on about homeschoolers. I homeschooled my two children in the 90’s when homeschooling wasn’t that cool. There were many homeschooling families, but it was pretty much undercover. We were very careful and many were fearful of being “turned in” by those that didn’t understand the concept. Today, you see homeschooling children everywhere and are happily and freely blended into the community. In 1999, it was reported that about 850,000…
Returning To A Home Sweet Home
Have you ever returned home from a trip and your house was a mess. If you left in a hurry, you may have left everything in shambles. As you walk in the door from you fun vacation, you look around and see nothing but work. The stress level just went up a notch because you can’t think about relaxing after traveling all day because everywhere you look is a mess. I learned a very long time ago that I have to close the door on a perfectly cleaned house so when I return, I can just walk in and…
What Is Shyness and How Do I Overcome It?
I was going to start out by saying, “I’m not an expert on shyness, so I did some research on the subject and this is what I found.” Well, the fact is, I feel like I am an expert on shyness as I was very shy as a child. So, I thought I would combine a little bit of what I read about shyness and then how I’ve dealt with my shyness. First of all, if you missed my last two posts on my memories of just how shy I was, you can read them here. Just click on the…
How It Is In Speech Class For A Shy Girl!
As I wrote about how it is going to school for a shy girl, I mentioned my moment of insanity when I signed up and took a speech class when I was in eleventh grade. Along with a friend of mine, we decided to take speech together and promised to support one another. I had always dreamed of being an airline stewardess and fly to Paris. When I got tired of flying around the world, I would fall back on my fashion design. It was a good plan, don’t you think? Along with my speech class, I also took a…
The Life of a Shy Girl Who Graduated 40 Years Ago
I remember hearing years ago of someone going to their 40th high school reunion. I thought, “Woah, that is a long time ago and I wonder how school was back then.” Well, guess what, my 40th year reunion is coming up this weekend. Don’t ask me how that happened…I have no idea. I was just innocently going about my business and one day I received an invitation that says the unbelievable, “40th!” Just doesn’t seem right. Needless to say many times these past few weeks, memories have flooded back into my mind of my life in school. I can honestly…
Guess Who Won The Give-Away?
Thank you to everyone who visited and commented on each post during the “Laundry Series.” I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired or encouraged in the task of laundry! I you have any thoughts or questions on this topic, send them in and I will do my best to answer…or at least find someone that can answer. I put everyone’s name on slips of paper and put them in a glass pumpkin and drew someones name. Guess who it is? I did video it and after two takes, I scratched that idea. Whew, I don’t think I’m ready for…
