The Thorn</h1> <article> <h1>The Thorn</h1> <p>Debra — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:19:11 +0000</p> This year has brought the greatest blessings I’ve ever known but not without some of the greatest pains I’ve ever had to endure. My skin has been completely removed time and time again revealing some very painful insights into who I am and who I am not. God has melted me down and purged me [...] </article> <article> <h1>Personal Update from Debra</h1> <p>Debra — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:26:43 +0000</p> Hope you are enjoying a wonderful 2009-2010 school year. Quite a few changes have taken place in my home over the past year and I finally feel like I’m in a place where I can share some of my story. This is not a normal update and not something I ever thought I’d be posting [...] </article> <article> <h1>Spelling 08-09: SWR (Spell to Write & Read)</h1> <p>Debra — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 04:00:15 +0000</p> Three of my kiddos are using SWR this year. These three kids are all SWR “pros” and know the program well. This year they are going to work VERY independently – at least at this point. They are no longer in their 3R years and need to have this aspect of their day simplified. I need this area simplified [...] </article> <article> <h1>Make Your Own Spiral Bound Notebooks</h1> <p>Debra — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:12:00 +0000</p> (There has been lots of discussion lately about how to create your own spiral bound notebooks, so I’ve pulled up and edited this old post from my other blog.) This is one of the greatest little tools I’ve found for notebooking. I thank my friend Angi for introducing it to me a few years ago! It’s called [...] </article> <article> <h1>NPC Freebies: Free Father’s Day Notebooking Pages</h1> <p>Debra — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 03:05:58 +0000</p> Free Homeschool Resources Update: Free Father’s Day Holiday Notebooking Pages now available: Free Homeschool Resources / Free Holidays & Special Days Notebooking Pages </article> <article> <h1>NPC Freebies: Free Flag Day Notebooking Pages</h1> <p>Debra — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 21:26:51 +0000</p> Free Homeschool Resources Update: Free Flag Day Holiday Notebooking Pages now available: Free Homeschool Resources / Free Holidays & Special Days Notebooking Pages </article> <article> <h1>Homeschool Schedule & Organization with HST</h1> <p>Debra — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:37:22 +0000</p> This is the year . . . I hope anyway! We purchased the Homeschool Tracker software several years ago, updated to the Plus version when it became available, and until recently I’ve been unable to really figure out how to make it work for our family’s scheduling. Part of me LOVES to be super-organized, but [...] </article> <article> <h1>NPC Freebies: 2009 Calendar</h1> <p>Debra — Sat, 31 May 2008 03:08:12 +0000</p> Free Homeschool Resources Update: 2009 Monthly and Yearly Calendar pages are now available: Free Homeschool Resources / Homeschool Planning Charts & Printables </article> <article> <h1>Notebooking Tips – Oops!</h1> <p>Debra — Thu, 29 May 2008 15:48:08 +0000</p> I have made many goofy mistakes during these first couple of years running our homeschool website NotebookingPages.com. This month was not without its bloopers. Unfortunately, there was not an “undo” button for this latest mistake. To provide notebooking newbies help, I put together a series of eight emails on the topic of “beginning notebooking tips”. These emails were [...] </article> <article> <h1>Feeding Hummingbirds</h1> <p>Debra — Wed, 28 May 2008 03:24:18 +0000</p> The hummingbirds have been visiting our backyard for a few weeks now, but we still have not put out their feeders yet. So today, we dug out the feeders and washed them up to get them ready. We’ll hang them tomorrow. Normally, we pick about three different locations to hang the feeders so that we don’t have [...] </article> </main></body></html>
