			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2573" title="paypal" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/paypal.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="345" /></p>
<p>By now, you&#8217;ve probably received most of your needed tax documents in the mail and may even be gearing up for tackling your federal taxes (or taking your shoe box of things to your accountant).  Either way, if you have a business, whether as a blogger, an online shop owner, or the like, you may very well have received payments via Paypal last year.  In that case, <strong>it&#8217;s important to record your fees paid to Paypal as a business expense. </strong> But &#8212; what if you haven&#8217;t been keeping track of those fees?</p>
<p>I am woe to admit that in the past, I have gone through and manually just worked my way through transactions to figure out how much all those Paypal fees cost me throughout the year.  This year, however, I knew that I had way too many transactions to do that manually.  I prayed that there was a way to easily find the fee information.</p>
<p>Lo and behold &#8211; there is!  (At least, there is for business accounts.  I imagine this means that this is also available for premier accounts, and hopefully for personal ones as well.)</p>
<h3>To Find Your Paypal Fees Paid Last Year:</h3>
<p>1. Login to your Paypal account.  (Okay, yeah, that was a given.  This was kind of like the directions on Google maps when they tell you how to get out of your neighborhood, right?)</p>
<p>2. Near the top of the page (but under the tabs that say things like &#8220;Request Money&#8221; and &#8220;Send Money&#8221;), you will see a link called &#8220;History.&#8221;  When you hover on it, you&#8217;ll see a drop down and one of the options is &#8220;Reports.&#8221;  Click on &#8220;Reports.&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Under the section of &#8220;Summary Reports,&#8221; you&#8217;ll see a link that says &#8220;(Past Year) Financial Summary.&#8221;  So, at the time of this writing, it says &#8220;2011 Financial Summary.&#8221;  Click it!</p>
<p>4. You will be able to either save the document or open it.  Personally, I opened it to see it (and there is a whole section on it just about Paypal fees, so you&#8217;ll know your total from last year), printed it, and then saved it to my computer.</p>
<p>Hopefully this will save you time where figuring out your Paypal fees from last year are concerned.  Definitely don&#8217;t forget to write them off as a business expense!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I thought about writing up this post, <a href="http://givinguponperfect.com/" target="_blank">especially with Mary in mind</a>, but then I thought, &#8220;Hang on &#8211; do I even watch 10 television shows?&#8221;  I was sure I would struggle to come up with them.</p>
<p>I sheepishly realized as I quickly surpassed ten that I might watch too much television.  Granted, I mostly work while watching the TV (not the best plan), but I still felt kind of bad.  Not bad enough to stop though, mind you.</p>
<p><strong>So, here are ten shows that I&#8217;ve been regularly watching lately (most with Eric as well).</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>The Big Bang Theory</strong> &#8211; We&#8217;re nerds.  What can I say?  This shows just speaks to us.  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W91RUG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000W91RUG"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2570" title="bbt" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bbt.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>2. <strong>Parks and Recreation</strong> &#8211; I have been watching this off and on for a while, but Eric just started watching it with me.  It&#8217;s so clever, and Ron Swanson cracks us both up.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Grey&#8217;s Anatomy</strong> &#8211; Sure, some seasons have been better than other seasons.  I&#8217;ve been watching it since the beginning and plan to keep watching it.  I figure if I made it through the endless Denny nonsense many seasons ago, I&#8217;m in it for the long haul.</p>
<p>4. <strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong> &#8211; I think the show has gone down hill a bit, and that makes me sad.  But, it&#8217;s been a show we&#8217;ve been enjoying for a few years now.  I have to imagine that it will be coming to an end in the not horribly distant future.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Two Broke Girls</strong> &#8211; We watched this one night just because it happens to be on after HIMYM, and we were hooked.  It&#8217;s funny and unexpected.  Oh, and I&#8217;m still holding out that Max and Johnny may get together.  (You know, if Johnny is ever on the show again.  Where the heck is he?)</p>
<p>6. <strong>Castle</strong> &#8211; This is a smart show that keeps me entertained.  I can&#8217;t always guess exactly what&#8217;s going to happen, which I always find to be endearing, since I often guess what will happen on shows.  (Eric says I should write the shows.)  Plus, I like that this show is not only interesting and serious, but also amusing.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Suburgatory</strong> &#8211; We think this show is just generally a hoot.  I find that we&#8217;ve had some episodes that we don&#8217;t think are as stellar, but hopefully it has a good future ahead of it.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Modern Family</strong> &#8211; Funny, smart, clever.  Love all the family dynamics.  And Phil never ceases to crack us up.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Revenge</strong> &#8211; Remember when I said that I like shows that I can&#8217;t figure out right away?  Well, this one definitely meets that criteria!  It&#8217;s pretty intense at times, but it&#8217;s just amazingly intricate to watch.  I look forward to seeing how this one goes as it continues.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Alaska: The Last Frontier</strong> &#8211; This is our newest must watch show (and the only reality show addition to the list).  It&#8217;s a show about an extended family (the Kilcher family) that homesteads in Homer, Alaska.  From what we&#8217;ve read, some of it is over-dramatized, but we still are riveted while we&#8217;re watching it.  And, I totally didn&#8217;t know until tonight that it&#8217;s actually <a title="Were you a teen in the 90's that had to feel all full of angst and then listened to this to feel even more angst? (This is an affiliate link, by the way.)" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002J2S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000002J2S" target="_blank">Jewel&#8217;s</a> family.</p>

<p>How has <a href="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/2012/01/2012-our-food-revolution-year/" target="_blank">Our Food Revolution project</a> been going now that we&#8217;ve gotten into February?</p>
<p>Umm&#8230;huh.</p>
<p>Well, we had a really good week and a half, and then it all went horribly, horribly wrong.  My usual attitude would be to just ditch it, but I&#8217;m going to try to get back on track now that I&#8217;m feeling better after being sick all week.  Wish me luck!</p>

<p>We made it through our very first surgery experience (and sedation) for one of the kids.  One of the hardest parts ended up just being the night <em>before</em> the surgery.  (Go figure!)  But, I&#8217;m glad to say that after a very sleepless night (for both Noah and Mom, since that&#8217;s what happens when one of your kids can&#8217;t sleep), he made it through having his very last baby tooth out, as well as four permanent teeth.</p>
<p>They warned us that he would probably want to sleep all day long.</p>
<p>And, if all day was two hours.  Then, yes, he did want to sleep all day.  But, after that day long two hour sleep, he just wanted to eat some ice cream and play video games.  Kids amaze me.</p>

<p>In what probably cinched that Eric and I are both nerds or geeks or whatever truck we fell off of, we managed to have a whole conversation via text messaging on our iPhone all while typing like we were Jar Jar Binks.</p>
<p>I just felt silly and started a conversation about dinner with him with, &#8220;Meesa curious bouts what yousa be wantin&#8217; forsa dinner.&#8221;</p>
<p>This conversation managed to go back and forth 10 times.  And, like me tell you, this is some commitment.  The iPhone gets really mad and wants to correct a whole lot of words when you do that.  Well, except for when it finally just decides that maybe you don&#8217;t want &#8220;meesa&#8221; corrected.</p>
<p>My personal favorite part of the conversation came when Eric said, &#8220;Meesa think&#8217;n that if yousa would bake&#8217;n some gobble gobble.  Meesa could be cook&#8217;n it over the bombad fire with the bombad Sonny&#8217;s sauce.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was so time consuming, however, that we did finally have to agree to stop.  Okee-day?</p>

<p>Truth be told &#8211; we don&#8217;t even like Jar Jar Binks.</p>

<p>I have been pretty tired this past month, and I know I just haven&#8217;t been myself.  This probably accounts for why I haven&#8217;t been on my blog in the past week, huh?</p>
<p>One of the things that I did do this past month, however, was to<a href="http://www.tinyowldesigns.com" target="_blank"> design the cover</a> for the new ebook <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1048984&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=14085&amp;cl=127672" target="_blank"><em>28 Day to Hope for Your Home</em> from Nony from A Slob Comes Clean</a>.  I was so excited to do it, and I really loved how it came out:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=1048984&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=14085&amp;cl=127672"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2566" title="28_Days_to_Hope_web" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/28_Days_to_Hope_web.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="470" /></a></p>
<p>While I haven&#8217;t read the book yet, I have it and I know that I need to read it.  I really, really need to read it.  That girl is one smart cookie, and has worked hard to make some huge changes in her life.</p>

<p>I&#8217;ve been sick all week, and this has been pretty miserable.  It&#8217;s mostly just stuffed up sinuses, along with a headache (because my sinuses are stuffed up) and tiredness (because I&#8217;m not sleeping well because, well you know).</p>
<p>I have a sneaky suspicion that having the weather go between warmish to really cold, from raining to snowing, and all kinds of other things is just not conducive to me getting better.</p>
<p><strong>~ 2 ~</strong></p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t it funny how when you&#8217;ve been sick for several days in a row, you sometimes start to think that you&#8217;re never going to be well again.  Even when you know you&#8217;ll get better (or you hope, at least!), you just get caught up in the moment of being sick.</p>

<p>While our homeschooling has been kind of off and on this week (our attendance sheet looks like we&#8217;re just taking random days off, and the house isn&#8217;t looking very good either), you can read about a fun project we did when the kids were a bit younger with one of our favorite books &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060256710/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0060256710" target="_blank">The Missing Piece</a>.</p>
<p>You can read my post, <a href="http://thehappyhousewife.com/homeschool/creating-stories-inspired-by-favorite-books/" target="_blank">Creative Writing Inspired by Favorite Books</a>, over at The Happy Housewife this week!</p>
<p><strong>~ 4 ~</strong></p>
<p>Despite our very off schedule due to my illness, I must be doing something right.</p>
<p>This week, Molly said to me, &#8220;When I&#8217;m a Mom, I think I want to homeschool my kids too.  I think they&#8217;d like that.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>~ 6 ~</strong></p>
<p>Okay, so I always get stuck on #6.  I have no idea why.  The last time that I was working on my seven quick takes and told Eric that I was stuck, he said, &#8220;Wait.  I know this.  You&#8217;re on number six, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>So, after being stuck here for a while, I thought I would share a great $2 personalized t-shirt deal (just the $2 plus shipping):</p>
<p><a href="http://enlnks.com/aff_c?offer_id=272&amp;aff_id=885&amp;file_id=2727" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.enimgs.net/brand/files/escalatenetwork/272/300x250-B2SmomBlog-Tshirt-14234.gif" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><strong>~ 7 ~</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-2351 alignright" title="dishmat_strawberries_closeu" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/dishmat_strawberries_closeu-300x197.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="197" />I have a new yum-o snack that I&#8217;ve had a few times at night.  I&#8217;ve been skipping out on most sweets, so this is a fun sweet to have and I don&#8217;t feel bad about it.</p>
<p>I cut up about 8 &#8211; 10 strawberries, throw in a teaspoon of sugar, and then a couple of tablespoons of Reddi Whip.  Now that I haven&#8217;t really been having desserts much at all, this definitely feels like a wonderful dessert.  Of course, I figure it will be even better once early summer rolls around and we get to go strawberry picking.  (Oh, and then we&#8217;ll have to make <a title="Easy Strawberry Freezer Jam Recipe" href="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/2008/10/easy-strawberry-freezer-jam-recipe/" target="_blank">strawberry freezer jam</a>, of course.)</p>

<p><strong>Last night, I felt like I had several epiphanies that kept waking me up&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>1. <a title="A link to me on Pinterest, which I now know has no relationship with my waffle iron" href="http://www.pinterest.com/angie76" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> is destroying my blog because it&#8217;s taking links away from it and putting them in a whole line of waffle irons set up on the counter.</p>
<p>2. I need to sell my house, but I&#8217;m afraid that people may notice that there is a giant tree laying right on top of it.  I decide that we should put a &#8220;For Sale&#8221; sign in front of the house anyway, and we&#8217;ll just hope that people don&#8217;t notice.</p>
<p>3. I have to figure out a different way to paint because all of my paintings started having paint leak off of them, like they&#8217;re crying.</p>
<p>Finally, I had an epiphany that I apparently have some odd side effects from taking a pain reliever before bed that has a &#8220;PM&#8221; addition to it.</p>
<p>While the Pinterest-waffle iron thing wasn&#8217;t the dead giveaway to that epiphany (it made so much sense in the middle of the night), I finally realized it when I couldn&#8217;t stop waking up while Eric was getting ready for work and he said, &#8220;Are you okay?&#8221; and I answered with, &#8220;Yeah.  I think.  I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;  And, each subsequent question he asked me also had to end with me giving and answer and then adding, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>Happily, I slept it off and was done with crazy epiphanies.  I am also done with taking a medicine with a &#8220;PM&#8221; after the name.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Just a few random things that I&#8217;ve been loving lately&#8230;</strong></p>
<h3><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TYBWIG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000TYBWIG" target="_blank">My New Waffle Maker</a></strong></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TYBWIG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000TYBWIG"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2554" title="waffle iron" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/waffle-iron.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>Waffles at our house have always meant Eggo&#8217;s and a toaster oven.  After having waffles while at Disney World, and reading about the suggestion of using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ELL60W/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001ELL60W" target="_blank">Carbon&#8217;s Golden Malted Pancake and Waffle Flour</a>, I decided that maybe we would enjoy having <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TYBWIG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000TYBWIG" target="_blank">a waffle iron</a>.  I love it!  It heats up in the time that I need to make the mix, and then I can make nice, big waffles in just about two minutes per waffle.  (The kids are thrilled!)</p>
<h3><strong>Driving at Night and Listening to Music</strong></h3>
<p>Oddly, though I really don&#8217;t care for driving at night, there is just something about cruising along and listening to songs like &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00001NTQR/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00001NTQR" target="_blank">Under the Milky Way</a>&#8221; or &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005R09Z/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00005R09Z" target="_blank">Just Like Heaven</a>.&#8221;</p>
<h3><strong>My Family</strong></h3>
<p>Yeah, I always love them.  It just didn&#8217;t seem like it would be a good list without them.  I have a pretty awesome family (both the family that lives here at home with me as well as family members like my parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, etc.).</p>
<h3><strong>Being Back at Our Own Parish</strong></h3>
<p>After more than a month away, it has been so nice to be back home and attending Mass at our own parish.  It just feels different and smells different and sounds different.  It always feels like home, just like the one time that I wandered in when we kind of randomly decided to become Catholic.</p>
<p>Oh, and can I just say too that I love that my parish has cards in the pews to help with the new Mass wording?  When we were in Florida, I had to learn about to use a Missal and nobody was saying the new words correctly.  It was stressing me out!</p>
<h3><strong>Eating Less Sugar</strong></h3>
<p>Okay, so maybe I wouldn&#8217;t go so far as to say that I&#8217;m <em>loving</em> this one.  But, I don&#8217;t really mind it too much, and that is what I love about it.  I have still been having some sugary things, but they are not often and I find that I have been craving them less when I&#8217;ve been having less.  It&#8217;s been easier to say &#8220;No thank you&#8221; when offered sweets.  Bonus!</p>
<h3><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058AGBYG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0058AGBYG" target="_blank"><strong>Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Kit</strong></a></h3>
<p>What can I say?  I come from a family of women that have to worry about these kinds of things.  The problem is, however, my skin is very sensitive.  I tried some wax on my face once and broke out in hives or welts or something.  It was not good.  All other chemical hair removal has fair not quite as bad, but can leave my skin red for days.  (Seriously &#8211; that&#8217;s so not cool.)  Even too much plucking can make me break out.</p>
<p>So, I didn&#8217;t have high hopes for this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058AGBYG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0058AGBYG" target="_blank">Olay Facial Hair Removal</a> stuff, but oh my heck &#8212; it&#8217;s awesome!  It worked really well and my skin didn&#8217;t even get slightly red.  I&#8217;m hooked.</p>
<h3><strong>Ave Maria</strong></h3>
<p>Yes, I did just go from facial hair removal to a beautiful song in Latin.  You&#8217;ll have to forgive me because I&#8217;m sick.</p>
<p>I have had <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00122HHP6/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00122HHP6" target="_blank">Josh Groban&#8217;s version of Ave Maria</a> on my iPod for quite some time, but I normally just listened to a tiny bit and shuffled.  No disrespect to Josh or our Blessed Mother, but I like to sing along to songs (or at least pretend to sing along).  The Latin threw me.  But, when I decided that all of the kids would study Latin recently, I listened to the song and realized that I could say all of those words.  Not only that, but they&#8217;re beautiful.  So, I&#8217;m hooked on this one too.</p>
<h3><strong>The Kind of Cold Medicine that You Have to Buy Behind the Pharmacy Counter</strong></h3>
<p>Seriously &#8211; these sinuses are killing me.  That stuff behind the counter is just amazing.  It makes me want to stock up on it.  Of course, considering that the police would probably show up then, it helps to deter that urge.</p>
<p>The part I hate the most about buying it, however, is that I have to show my drivers license, which I do not love because I look really angry on it.</p>
<h3><strong>Metallic Photo Paper<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82153059/in-christ-alone-choose-your-color-8x10"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2556" title="in_christ_alone" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/in_christ_alone-258x300.jpg" alt="" width="258" height="300" /></a></strong></h3>
<p>This just makes colors pop so much.  It&#8217;s gorgeous.  I don&#8217;t know how many people commented about the prints that I had at the craft shows that I did in November.  It&#8217;s just amazing, and I wish that I could show my prints to people in person.  I&#8217;ve been thinking of moving all of my prints (the ones for sale, not for my own photo albums) exclusively over to metallic paper.</p>
<p>One of my favorites because of the pop with the metallic paper is the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/82153059/in-christ-alone-choose-your-color-8x10" target="_blank">&#8220;In Christ Alone&#8221; prints that I have in my shop</a>.</p>
<h3><strong>2:1 Ticket Giveaway</strong></h3>
<p>Just love that I get to <a href="http://www.hsclassroom.net/2012/01/win-a-ticket-to-the-21-conference/" target="_blank">give away a ticket to the 2:1 Conference</a> (which will be in April) this week on The Homeschool Classroom!  Fun! (I&#8217;ll be speaking at the conference!)</p>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script></center>One of my favorite quick breads to make is lemon poppy seed bread.  I got this recipe from my Mom, who received it from someone else.  So, I&#8217;m not sure of the source, but this bread is easy to make and has a moist consistency and delicious flavor.</p>
<h3>Lemon Poppy Seed Bread</h3>
<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 package lemon cake mix (my Mom has noted &#8220;not Pillsbury&#8221; though I&#8217;m not really sure why, so feel free to just make note of that)</li>
<li>1 small instant lemon pudding</li>
<li>1 cup boiling water</li>
<li>4 eggs</li>
<li>1/2 cup cooking oil (like vegetable or Canola)</li>
<li>1/4 cup poppy seeds</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions:</strong></p>
<p>1. Mix all ingredients together until well blended.  Make sure to add the eggs last and one at a time while mixing well.  (Because of the boiling water, you don&#8217;t want to take the chance that it may &#8220;cook&#8221; the eggs some.)</p>
<p>2. Add mixture to greased loaf pans.  (Three small loaf pans or two larger ones)</p>
<p>3. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 35 minutes.  (You know your oven best.  Just make sure to check the bread for a toothpick to come out mostly clean.)</p>
<p>This is a fabulous bread to make when you have to take something to a potluck or other type of gathering, especially if you&#8217;re pressed for time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>~ 1 ~</strong></p>
<p>This week, Molly said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s push up the ceiling!&#8221;</p>
<p>I had to ask, &#8220;Is that like &#8216;Let&#8217;s raise the roof?&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>These kids crack me up!</p>
<p><strong>~ 2 ~</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193095350X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=manylittbles-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=193095350X"><img class=" wp-image-2549 alignright" title="prima_latina" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/prima_latina.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a>After a lot of thought and trying a couple of languages in our homeschooling, we&#8217;ve finally decided to go with the homeschooling cliche and we&#8217;re going to begin working on Latin.  It was something that my senior English teacher said on Facebook not too long ago when she said that one of her most useful classes she ever took was some Latin in middle school.</p>
<p>So, I think we&#8217;re going to work on Latin for a while, and then when the kids are high school aged, they can decide on whatever language they want.</p>
<p><strong>~ 3 ~</strong></p>
<p>We have now found out that during February, two of the three kids are going to have to have oral surgery.  This also means that it will be the first time that any of my kids have been sedated for any reason.  I told Eric that the whole situation makes me feel a little like I need to be sedated.</p>
<p><strong>~ 4 ~</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.2to1conference.com/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2548" title="21ConferenceButtonSpeaker" src="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/21ConferenceButtonSpeaker.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Have you been hoping to go to the <a href="http://www.2to1conference.com/" target="_blank">2:1 Conference</a> in April?  If so, I would keep an eye on <a href="http://www.hsclassroom.net" target="_blank">The Homeschool Classroom</a> this coming week.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s just about all I have to say about that.  But, really &#8211; I would watch over there, okay?</p>
<p><strong>~ 5 ~</strong></p>
<p>In the last few weeks, I&#8217;ve talked to a couple of people who thought that I went to college for art.  I&#8217;ve dug that.</p>
<p>I have, however, stopped myself from saying, &#8220;If I went to school for that, they would have kicked me out.&#8221;</p>
<p>But, in all seriousness, it&#8217;s kind of mind blowing to me that the ways I&#8217;m making money these days are writing, art, and graphic design.  I never would have guessed that even a few years ago.  Sure, it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m going to go to Paris on the money, but it&#8217;s something.</p>
<p><strong>~ 6 ~</strong></p>
<p>Speaking of design projects, I&#8217;ve started doing designs for ebooks.  I&#8217;m really excited to share some of the designs, but neither of the ebooks have been released yet.  So, that will have to wait.  It&#8217;s been a fun change from some of the other design projects that I&#8217;ve been working on though.</p>
<p><strong>~ 7 ~</strong></p>
<p>For whatever reason, I clicked to another tab after writing #6 and only remember about an hour later that I hadn&#8217;t finished this list.  What the heck?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I have always loved learning new skills.  While I can&#8217;t say that I always love the initial starting process, I just love the idea that there are so many things in the world to learn about and to do.  The possibilities are, quite literally, endless.  Of course, it becomes necessary to pick and choose and then devote your time to fewer things.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some things that I would love to learn how to do:</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Be an Organized, Efficient Homemaker</strong> &#8211; This is an area that is always a struggle to me.  I would love to learn to do this in a more natural way, without that struggle.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Chop Fruits and Vegetables like a Chef</strong> &#8211; I am in awe when I see the way they chop up veggies, herbs, and the like while watching the Food Network.  I&#8217;d love to have some wicked knife skills in the kitchen too.</p>
<p>3.<strong> Play the Cello</strong> &#8211; I have wanted to play the cello since I was in elementary school when there was a strings program for fifth and sixth graders.  It&#8217;s just so beautiful (the music and the instrument!).</p>

<p>5. <strong>Drawing</strong> &#8211; This is one that I&#8217;ve been working on in some of my &#8220;free time&#8221; in the past eight months or so.  It is definitely not something that comes naturally to me, but it is a challenge that I really enjoy &#8211; especially when I can admire a finished project.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Hand Lettering</strong> &#8211; While this has some overlap with drawing, of course, I feel like it&#8217;s a different type of thing as well.  I just love projects that I see that have been all hand lettered.  I have never had great handwriting, years of typing almost exclusively have definitely not helped!</p>
<p>7. <strong>Say Whole Prayers in Latin</strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t know&#8230;it just seems like a fun, old-school Catholic kind of thing to be able to do.  I have been listening to Josh Groban&#8217;s rendition of &#8220;Ave Marie,&#8221; and it makes me want to be able to say it all in Latin.</p>

<p>9. <strong>Be an Awesome Gardner</strong> &#8211; <a title="Our Backyard Garden Transformation" href="http://www.manylittleblessings.com/2009/05/our-backyard-garden-transformation/" target="_blank">I have a garden</a>.  I am not, however, an awesome gardener.  I wouldn&#8217;t even go so far as to say I&#8217;m a decent gardener.  But, we get some food every year, and that&#8217;s what I want.  But, I really would love if I could do it more efficiently and with better know-how.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Be a Morning Person</strong> &#8211; I just don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m wired that way, but I would love to swap my night owl ways to be an early bird.  It just seems like I might get more done in a day.  This, however, is possibly just wishful thinking, and I would get exactly the same amount.  Who knows!</p>
<p><em>(Oh my! People in the comments made me realize I totally left off something I would love to be able to do!  Learn to sew!  How did I forget that one?)</em></p>
