Homeschool Corner

We live in a small ranch style home that is approximately 1200 sq ft.  I love it!  When people see our house and then see the amount of children we have, they sometimes are surprised we fit.  My feeling is that there are families in other countries who live in mud huts the size of one of the kids bedrooms with all of their family members, sometimes including extended family members.  We are blessed beyond belief to have the size house that we have. 

Our school area is also our living room.  The way our living room is arranged, the "living" area is on one side (with a little bit of overflow from the homeschooling items) and the homeschooling is on the other side, more of a corner. 

Here is the school corner ...


And here is the overflow behind our couch ...
The white bookcase was made by my husband.  Yes, it was!  He did such a great job!  I found the bottom part of the bookcase (the cabinet with 5 doors) on a local sales network website.  I originally had the idea of putting it in the laundry room for a pantry, but then my brilliant husband came up with this bookcase.  It is fantastic.  I love how it covers almost the whole wall so we use as much space as possible. 

This is where we spend our days.  The kids use their table all throughout the day for schoolwork, crafts, games, you name it.  I love this area.  I love that when people walk in our home they see that our children are our priority. 

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year.  When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!".  I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a
