Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

A great gift from a mother to her child

Today at the Prayer and Share time at our Homeschool Group, one of the moms told us about this wonderful idea for a gift to pass on to our children when they leave home someday. She has a friend that has bought a nice wide-margin, note-takers leather Bible for each of her children - one that will last forever. In each child's Bible, she high-lights verses for him or her, writes notes in the margins, writes out prayers for her child - writing in it through the years. Then when each child grows up and leaves the nest, goes off to college, she can present them with their Bible!! Full of notes, high-lighted verses, prayers and love from their mom over the years. This can be started for a child at any age, whether in the teen years or for a new baby! Isn't that a really terrific idea?!!
