I just realized I had not post an Ultimate Blog Party post on my blogs yet... bad, bad, bad...  I'm glad you stopped by from Ultimate Blog Party 2011. This is our little corner of the blog-o-sphere. We are a Christian homeschool family of 2 boys. Cameron (8) and Nathan (5). We tend to be a very relaxed homeschool with lots of life learning, some copywork and reading, math, and science, and lots of History. I am having a ton of fun with the blog party , meeting new bloggers, twitter party , etc... You are welcome to follow us on either Google/Blogger or Facebook. If you happen to be a member of any of the groups I've linked along the side of the blog stop by and say hi as well.

Updating the links and buttons

please excuse the confusion while I update the links and buttons on our sidebar. I am working to add buttons to as many of the links as I can and will be adding links to companies we support and have affiliations with.  I like the new white background and hope to do a custom design along the top bar soon.

Blogging Goals for 2010

I thought I would set some goals for the blog and blogging in general for the year..

1. Blog Daily; seems easy enough... even something simple.

2. Add more pictures! So often I sit down to blog and think I don't have a photo to go along with it, so then I just don't blog.

3. Find some fun giveaways to host on the blog, I hope to host a giveaway a month..

4. Share more resources... I find all kinds of resources for homeschool and crafting that I should share... I suppose I could just pick a day during the week.

5. Join more Blog conversations. (Linking between blogs and commenting create a better sense of community.)

ok I'll add one more to the mix. I need to comment and trackback to blogs I visit and use more often. Sometimes I find myself gleaning wonderful information from blogs but forgetting to leave a note... Where are my manners.

There you have it 5 Blog goals for the new year... I will work on some other goals and share those later...in another blog.

Ground Breaking of sorts....

I broke ground, for lack of a better term, on my newest idea today.
I'm blogging my novel , well kind of... I am using curtainjourney as my novel's termporary home. This way I can write and save from anywhere. I'm hoping this will help me stay on task with it... I feel like so many things are shifting in my life right now, this just seemed like the thing to do.
She is pretty vague right now, but I hope to have a background design created this next week and some base line characters listed and introduced...
Stop by and say hi, and join the journey.
