WTD?

by Texasholly
Last week my two older boys were in a daily morning summer camp so it was just my three year old, Rhett and me on the town.

The Great Escape

by Texasholly
The boys are running away tomorrow.
It will certainly be quiet around here.

Their plan was initially to be implemented today, but they realized they would miss robotic camp in the morning if they were gone.

Why Homeschoolers Win Spelling Bees

By Texasholly
We are into week 42 of summer in my head.  In real life it is closer to week 5.

Brotherhood Against Girls

by Texasholly

For some reason, probably due to a lack of distractions, the minivan has become the place for conversation. My three boys feel free to express opinions and pelt me with questions whenever we are in the car.

In the Middle of Motherhood

by Texasholly
Over the last few weeks I have had the pleasure of watching a genius of marketing in action.

This marketing wizard has taken something that was unwanted, unnoticed and shunned and through grassroots advertising vaulted it into a must have in mere days.
