Weekend Links

A  list of  historical movies in chronological order, it’s a homeschool mom’s dream! (Thanks Nicki.) Love this simple tutorial to make your own non-petroleum jelly from  A Delightful Home, it’s inspired me to make more everyday things from scratch. A Perfect Birth Story I appreciated these  quotes about the economy from KimC. Rachel hits another…

Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity in America

I’ve posted some of the reasons that public schools are not an option for our family. We’re not alone.

Weekend Links: Tempted to Public School, Shrimp and Grits and More

Amy shares Enough to Give. Short and to the point, she captures exactly what we’ve been thinking. Cooking is not my cup of tea, but I really, really want to try this recipe, Spicy Shrimp and Grits. Have you ever made/had shrimp and grits? Is it as good as it looks? Is it horrible that…
