Princesses, Parks and Pooches…

Keilee had the most awesome opportunity this past weekend.  She was asked to play Elsa at a March of Dimes Fundraiser.  She had the best time and was hugged and sang and danced and talked and laughed with so many little girls.  She is actually in her element with small children.  It always amazes me to see because she is such an introvert and can only handle people in small doses.  But around children she is different.  She was also asked to play Elsa the next day at a 3 year old birthday party.  She made $50 for one hours work.  She loved that too.

This week was beautiful (well except for today.  It is cold today).  We spent Tuesday at the park with our homeschool group.  It was a lovely day spent by the Tennessee River.  Someone from our local paper was there eating lunch and saw some of the teens sword fighting and took their pictures.  They were in the paper!  I love what it said under the pictures of Keilee:
“Rhodes Ferry Park was the scene of a battle worthy of Knights of the Round Table, Robin Hood and Romeo and Juliet, that is if Juliet was wielding a cutlass. ”  🙂

Nomad turned 5 this week.  It is hard to believe we have had him 5 years.  But I can barely remember a time without him.  He has brought so much to our little family and turned us from a family of 2 into a family of 3.

There was also Psychology and History and creative writing.  There was Art Journaling and crocheting and lots of Korean drama watching.  There was CNN Student News and Curious and tons of YouTube videos.

I can hardly believe April is almost  here.  I measure time by my Bible App.  It is the first thing I read every morning.  On the 1st of each month, I always think, “Ok here is a brand new month.  Please let me make something productive of it.  Let me find people to bless and laughter and joy and happy”.  Then I turn around and it is all of a sudden the 15th of the month or the 26th.  I just can not believe how quickly time passes.

Happy weekend all,
Homeschooling Rocks!

  1. Hello Karen! Each time I have tried to look at your blog it has said it is password protected. I’m so pleased you are back! I know this is an old post but I’m just popping by to say hi!

  2. Karen I absolutely love your writing. I save the ones on instagram to savor cause I’m usually in a hurry when I scan everybody’s pics. I like to sit and enjoy yours. They lift me up. They encourage. They are real. You are truly Jesus girls! You take the ups and downs of life and use them for His glory. Thank you 🙂

  3. I would have to say you bless people without even trying. Your blog has certainly blessed me through the years. What a wonderful week. You two certainly make the most out of life.
    blessings, Dawn

  4. You fill every week with such magic. I don’t know how she packs so much into her young life but she is truly an inspiration.

  5. I know what you mean about time flying. Can’t believe we have just one week left of our first quarter . Love the flashbacks with puppy Nomad. Dogs do really bring something to a family. We’ll miss Basil when he goes back to his real family. Luckily for us we get to keep him for a while longer yet 🙂
