Blog Hop Tuesday

 .
Last week I discovered a blog hop which I thought was a nice idea. So I have decided to participate. It's hosted by MckLinky creator Brent Riggs (I discovered it on Kristen's blog though). If you don't know what a blog hop is (I didn't!) click here.

This week,  the theme is THREE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME
So here we are:


  1. I am a pastor's daughter, a pastor's wife and my brother-in-law is a pastor as well.

  2. My home of origin is a small island called Martinique. How many of you know where that is? (Please let me know; I would be interested; I have met lots of people who had not idea where it was). A little hint: it is french.

  3. I love food, i love to eat (is it ok to say that?) and I love to bake. (So does my husband except that in his case he likes to cook) I guess some of you might have known that already since I have another blog called The Recipe Box (sorry, it is not as well updated as this one just because I do not have time to type up all these recipes we cook up at our house).

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Wow! You know a lot about pastors! And I don't know the island you are from.


I hope you are having a great day with your two beautiful boys!

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

2019-2020 Curriculum Line Up- Grade 11 and Grade 9

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again. First I realized I never posted about my kids' curriculum line up for this school year. So, though late, here it is. This year I am homeschooling two high-schoolers. Time has gone so fast. With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor... So here we are: Humanities: Tapestry of Grace Year 2 - Middle Ages:   History, Literature, Writing, Church History, (hoping: Philosophy) Math: Alpha and Omega  Chemistry: Mr.Q.
