I have done several projects that require sewing. I thought I would change things up a bit and talk about knitting. I personally don’t know how to knit, but I have a heart for knitters. My oldest daughter Kendra has been knitting for about 7 years now. She is designing her own patterns and dyeing [...]
Last night my oldest daughter and I attended a meeting for her upcoming graduation. In just over 3 months my husband and I will be graduating our oldest daughter and first homeschooled student. I can’t begin to describe the emotions that fill my heart when I ponder this thought! My mind starts to wonder and [...]
In my first post on this topic, I discussed what is considered an herb and where all true healing comes. Remember, the herbs themselves possess no power in themselves to heal. They are merely substances that encourage the body to do what it was designed to do more efficiently. In this article, I will cover herbs [...]
When I was a little girl, we spent our summer days playing outside. I don’t remember ever putting on sunscreen, so sunburns were inevitable. We’d come in beet red and parched, and my mom would always have us break off a piece of aloe vera to rub over the burn. We didn’t like being all [...]

On Friday I spoke a little about planting seeds, or putting ideas into motion. As I mentioned in that post, I have a shelf full of notebooks where I write down all my ideas. It seems that I am very rarely short on ideas, but my time and resources continually limited. So what is a [...]
Do you have a shelf to put your brain on? I do. I call it my “thinking shelf”. It is full of notebooks and binders filled with my thoughts. I don’t journal, as that would take steadfastness and routine. I am working on keeping a schedule and persevering to complete the tasks I begin, but [...]

Years ago with our first two children, we did what most parents do. We bought them bicycles with training wheels. We followed them around as they tried to master pedaling the bike, trying to keep them from falling over each time they hit a bump with the training wheel. Then when they were “ready”, we [...]
Congratulations Miriam, you are the winner of the IndoctriNation DVD! Last week I took advantage of the sales going on over at Vision Forum and I ordered a movie I had been wanting to watch for quite some time — IndoctriNation. I had seen the trailers for the documentary and I knew that Colin Gunn [...]
One of my favorite memories of Christmas time is the cheese balls my grandmother and great-grandmother would make every year. Us kids would sit around snacking on them, waiting on Christmas dinner to be done. There were two cheese balls that I remember very distinctly. One of the two I make every year for Christmas, [...]
I haven’t planned out my weekly meals in quite a while, and consequently we have been eating out way too much. I don’t know about you all, but one of the hardest aspects of getting dinner done is deciding what to have. If I don’t plan ahead, I find myself trying to throw something together [...]
Last month our family took a trip to the local pumpkin patch for some Autumn fun. The kids ran around the corn maze, rode the barrel train, and jumped on the bouncy thing. We couldn’t leave without each of them picking out a pumpkin. We don’t celebrate Halloween and I am not keen on pumpkin [...]

One of my biggest dreams is to grow a huge garden and be able to supply our family with fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. I have wanted a garden for years, but for various reasons it just hasn’t happened. It’s not that I haven’t tried. In fact, most years I have tried. I am afraid [...]
On Saturday we arrived here in Wichita…all of us…together! We were hoping to buy a home here. We even had a contract to buy a house with 5 acres, but it fell through after the inspection. I will be honest and tell you that I was devastated. I knew in my heart that the Lord [...]
I love Burt’s Bees Lip Balm. What I don’t love is paying several dollars for each tube! I am always on the lookout for ways to “make your own” version of commercial products. It is usually cheaper, healthier, and brings such satisfaction. In today’s tutorial, I will teach you how to make your own Peppermint [...]
In November I participated in the Homeschool Post Homeschool Swap. Homeschool moms from all over the country are matched up with swap partners. The partners then send each other goodies in the mail. I was match up with a wonderful lady named Heather, aka Sprittibee. Our paths have crossed before, well kinda. Remember this fall [...]
This week my oldest daughter has been writing “thankful” post on her blog. One of the post that she wrote was about being thankful for her sisters. My oldest daughter is 17 and the younger two are 9 and 6, so there is quite a bit of age difference between them. The younger girls love [...]
There are awards for just about everything these days, so I guess it should be no surprise that there are actually awards for homeschool blogs. This year Ponder the Path was nominated in 2 categories. When the nominations were announced, I checked the “new” blogger category, found my name and was thrilled. It wasn’t until [...]
