We’re having BBQ for lunch at our homeschool co-op today, provided by my fellow lunch lady, Laverne. Her husband smoked this pork for over 14 hours and it was extremely moist and tasty!

Christmas is over but it’s still nice to come home to this kind of view. Lucy and Martha have such a cozy place. I could maybe live here so long as I don’t have to drive too much. -Jane, House-sitter

Thankful that we are unscathed by record hail, rain, thunderstorms, and tornados.
By Jane on April 28, 2011
The South was hit SUPER HARD by a tremendous amount of thunderstorms, tornados and crazy hail. Some of my friends were reporting baseball and golfball-sized hail, dinged-up cars, damage to their houses, and leaking roofs. Dick was out of town so we went to my parents’ house. As soon as we heard the pounding of [...]

I came across this old student desk from the 50s and I just loved it. The seat and desk height can be adjusted and the desk top lifts for storage of your school stuff. The gentleman I bought it from was so nice, he delivered it to my house. I was hoping he had two [...]

Mommy sacrifices warmth so the family’s buns can stay warm while watching a night soccer game.
By Jane on November 3, 2010
Since it was the last game of the season, and since the family has SOCCER FEVER, we decide to take the girls to a night game. I’m exhausted, and a cold weather hater, but I tag along anyway because this is a family affair…and it would not be complete without ME! But, being my absent minded cold weather [...]

Your Daily Osho: The Real Robbers…Doubt, suspicion, fear.
By Jane on February 19, 2011
If you haven’t watched the movie Akeelah and the Bee, you absolutely MUST! In it, there is a special quote about FEAR…How our biggest fear is not failure, but SUCCESS! We are the ones who let ourselves be paralyzed by our fears (which are based on nothing but thoughts…not on facts.). Here’s the quote from [...]

Back into the groove. Homeschooling at Starbucks again.
By Jane on September 29, 2011
Because the weather was so nice, and because I can’t seem to stay away, the whole family ventured to Starbucks to homeschool. It’s days like this that make homeschooling more fun and I don’t have to be muttering under my breath between gritted teeth, “I hate teaching, I hate teaching!” Usually, I’m saying that when [...]

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

I am a firm believer that one can only grow from having experienced hardship or pain. “Many people dream of the hope for success. To me, sucess can [...]
