I have been searching all over the internet for the perfect homeschool planner and have finally found it. The Schoolhouse Planner has it all. Not only is it digital and interactive but it is loaded with tons of helpful information. The “Must know” lists are chock full of very important information that every homeschooler should know. And the recipes all sound very tasty. I am so happy to have this product to organize my kids homeschooling life. If you want an all in one planner then this is the one for you. I could go on and on but let me just post what you can expect to find in the Schoolhouse Planner.

I ran across this on a blog that touched me so very much I wanted to share it with you. Please go Here This brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart so much.

I am not sure how many people actually know about Bozo but he was a fond childhood memory for me. His show has been missed by me for quite awhile. I have always wished I could share the show with my kids.  Rest in Peace Bozo.

I have to tell you about a new (well new for me) game called Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure for the PSP. It is a MUST NOT MISS downloadable game by Mastiff LLC available in the PLAYSTATION Store .

I love artsy, cutesy video games (don’t get me wrong the life-like 3D games are cool too but give me an old fashioned cartoony game anyday) and this one gets a thumbs up from me. I love the cartoon characters and their voices.I can’t help but smile everytime Parin talks.

I love the main weapon in this game too. It is a drill and you can find different elemental attachments to add to the attack. I don’t want to give away too much so check out the site and play the game. You won’t be sorry you did!!

So I was in my room last night and Big A came up and said "Mom, I have figured out my kids names" To which I replied a very loud "HUH?!?" (she is only 8 lol) I started to tell her that she was waaaaaaaaayyyyy to young to be even thinking about that when I suddenly had a flash back to my youth (not sure about the age though) and I remember saying that my sister and I would marry brothers and we would each have 4 kids and I had a list of names but nothing concrete.

Well my sister and I DID marry brothers and I came up one shy of the amount of children I wanted. So I guess my morale of this story is that you can have what you dream about when your a little girl………let’s just make it that she doesn’t get that dream for a very large number of years yet
