I liked the squirrels at Dewey’s Treehouse, lots of good ideas and activities. I’ll be back to this new-to-me blog.

My Bountiful Life has bountiful photos–mixed with a bit of homeschooling angst and some wonderful thoughts on books.

I frequently see links to and quotes from Kim of The Upward Call on other blogs that I read, but I’ve never made it over there. It turns out we have a lot in common.
Our age: 40-ish (I’m closer to –ish than 40.)
Our decorating scheme: “books and chairs” My tree won’t win any awards either. I prefer to call my style “eclectic.”
Our compulsion: “It’s very difficult for me to sit, speechless in a group of people, for any length of time.”–Kim Me, too. That’s why I have a blog. I just post all those thoughts that want to come out, but might not be welcome.

Farm School has this movie quote in the sidebar:

“I’d like to give you a piece of my mind.”
“Oh, I couldn’t take the last piece.”
Ginger Rogers to Frances Mercer in “Vivacious Lady” (1938)

Your giggle for the day.

I found this post at The Joy of the Lord is my Strength to be fascinating. It’s about the author’s growing up years in Northern Ireland, and then later as an immigrant to Canada.

Ann at The Holy Experience already won the Blogs of Beauty “Best Quiet Spirit” award earlier this month, and I can see why. She’s blogging mostly about the Jesse Tree for the month of December.

Mary Poppins is in Florida for Christmas, but she usually runs a “feminist, secular, relaxed/classical blog with a flippant sense of humour, an eclectic taste in links.” And I read it even though I’m none of the above. (I do like the word “eclectic”, though.)

Carol’s Storybook looks like a breast-feeding friendly, corporal punishment non-friendly, zone with lots of good advice and thoughts on Christian mothering and homeschooling.

This was a hard choice, but I think I liked The Upward Call best. I’ve got a soft spot for anyone who looks at the book collection first.
