Glee’s Amber Riley Holds a Candle to Whitney Houston | I Will Always Love You Tribute

I was talking to my mom earlier, and we always seem to talk music.  My family has a pretty musical background.  My mom put out a record (yes, vinyl) when she was younger, my dad did musicals in school, my grandfather was in several quartets, and I've traveled around the country and many other countries singing. We started talking about how we both agree that Whitney Houston was just about the best of the best.  Her voice was so angelic, she was absolutely beautiful, and she was so graceful and, pre-Bobby Brown fiasco, classy. Whitney Houston - The Greatest Hits | I…

Our Adaptive Learning, Homeschool Experience

Last school year, we homeschooled our children.  We are very fortunate, in the state of Texas, to be able to homeschool with no hassle from the school system or the government. It was definitely an adventure, but the one thing my kids were never able to get past is the fact that just because they were home, it didn't mean that it was Xbox or TV time.   The kids actually missed school, and the few groups and classes we attended didn't really work out for us. Braxton and Hawk are extremely close, and because Hawk (then 3-4) wasn't quite…

Valentine’s Day – When You’re Married to a Geek! #geeky #lovenotes

This is what  I saw on my desktop when I opened my computer this morning! How sweet.  Andy changed my background.  When I clicked on the "Open Me" Folder, this is what I found. Somehow, I lost the Original Twilight Soundtrack.  The movie isn't great, but the soundtrack is fantastic!  AND, I just watched Breaking Dawn for the first time this past weekend, and I liked the soundtrack as well, so he got me that one, too! As I started typing this post, my background changed. Then, it changed again (I missed this one twice!)   And Yes, this is…

Bug-Out Bags or Survival Kits in Case of an Emergency (or Zombie Take-Over)

Not too long ago, my friend Maria and I started talking about bug-out bags and how everyone should have one in case of an emergency. At first, I thought she just meant that she has a bag with important papers in case something happens, they can just grab and go.  But, the more research I do on them, the more I realize that every household should have some type of bug-out bag or emergency survival kit ready to grab and go at a moment's notice. A well-stocked emergency kit with survival products tailored to your specific location and potential hazards…
