Good morning!  You know that feeling? Where you wake up early, all rested. You get up, stretch, and remember to thank the Lord for his blessings. You make up some coffee, a few eggs, and everything is all right. Waking up slowly is one of my favorite parts about weekends.   I was planning on putting the recipe here, but I lost it! It's pretty easy though, it's a twist on Eggs

Due to the fact that I only have one class and tutoring training on Fridays, it really feels like a three-day weekend every week. You know that feeling? It's actually a little dangerous. :) Not only because I have the tendency to be complacent, but also because if any professor catches wind of a three-day weekend, that means extra homework, for sure. Even if you don't normally have homework, they

So, school's started up again. But this quarter is radically different because I am now, officially, an employee at my college :). I'm a tutor and I tutor English and Spanish. No, I don't get too confused about that. At first I was daunted by our mission statement. I'm to be a model student, helping students to learn how to learn. I'm supposed to change their way of learning and to motivate,

 Hello everyone! I know that this is another new year thang, but this one's for a big giveaway at my friend Stephanie's blog, here. Should be fun! Here we go. . . 1. What do you do each year for the New Year? Stay up late and wait for the ball to drop, go to a party, etc...?   Well we usually just hang out at home and play games, reminisce, eat snacks and try to make sure nobody falls asleep.

Mama says of 2011, "It was the best of years, it was the worst of years." I completely agree and as I get older, I find that each new year is so.   September The month started with our church's family camp and ended with school. We also went to the fair, but Clara didn't have a performance this year. I went to a different campus this quarter and will miss it very very much, as well as all of

In light of the new year, I think that it would be a good time for a two-parter month-by-month review of the highlights of 2011! I'm so sorry about my lack of posting. My general absence from anything online is due to events that have happened in the last few months. . . And school of course. I would like to thank you sweet, fabulous readers who have been checking my blog even while I

How to Arrange an Effective Classroom: A practical guide for educational administrators. As the quarter begins, you must think about the impression you make on your students. The main goal of classroom organization is to make your students as uncomfortable as possible, so that in pain they're driven to focus on what your teachers are saying. As a note to teachers: Most classrooms are

Well, I've started school again. I just realized yesterday that this is the last "First Week of School" for me. I'm a senior now. When did that happen? As for the aforementioned "First Week of School", it had it's ups and downs. Downs: I'm at a new campus this quarter, and it's been kinda rough on me. I don't like being in big places all by my lonesome. I do have friends there, but I don't see

  They're all feathered out now. . . Aren't they big? Ethel escaped - and was caught red-handed! We now let them roam the backyard free range. They're really smart; when it gets dark they try to get inside the house. I found one of them (yeah. . . It was Ethel. . .) running around quacking in the family room the other night.   They love the pool on the lawn.   They really,

As you know, I am gluten-free.  This means that I can't have smores. Sniff. Perhaps I'm not adventurous enough to try and make gluten-free graham crackers (it's on my bucket list), but as I consider smores to be a summer essential, I've come up with my own version. A layer of toasted walnuts, a layer of toasted marshmallows, and a sprinkling of milk chocolate pieces and toasted unsweetened

   Wow, was this really over a week ago? Well, about a fortnight ago, we spent a day at our church's annual family camp. We tried to head out pretty early, though despite our efforts we were a bit late and came during the morning sermon. After the morning service we went to a nearby lake for the baptisms. On the way back to the campgrounds I was surprised at how

A few weeks ago we took a day trip to the beach. The weather was perfect and the clouds so elegant and defined. . . There were so many logs to walk on, sit on, play on and draw on! We even found a log fort to play in, occupying most of the day. My awesome bro, just chillin. . . Gotta defend that fort! I love the quiet on the beach when the sun sets. (To read

Meet Selkie Santolina: And this is Sarabi Saffron:   This is when we got them, at about one month old. We’ve had them for about three or four weeks now!  They were Mama’s dream present for her big birthday :). These girls are such cuddlebugs! You can’t step out for two minutes without at least one of them trying to sit in your lap.   In addition to babysitting, I now “goat-sit”.

Yesterday we attended the beautiful wedding of a young lady from our church. For our gift, we decided to be a little creative and etch a glass bowl and dish for the couple. I was delighted to try this out; I love making wedding gifts. Since we have supplies left over, I can etch our own dishes as well. I used the tutorial here (link). Be warned though, that Armour Etching Cream will *not* work

This year's beach trip was fabulous. It was extra amazing though, as Daddy arranged to have relatives over to celebrate Mama's birthday! He rented two houses, across from each other, and we had a blast hanging out on the beach with our "neighbors"! Heading across the street, down the hill to recruit beach-goers. . . There were wild strawberries in the grass in their backyard! I was sitting on

No, Mr. Ice-Cream man. . .I admire your clever ploy of circling the block like a hawk. Your cheerful little tune distracts me from homework as I crick my neck to watch you pass through the window.You *knew* that you could best entice me by putting that chocolate coated chocolate-y chocolate thing on the side of your van. . .Oh yes.I will RESIST!

Sewing a bonnet is a bit like sewing inside a bucket. A pretty bucket. The last week of April, I went to a bonnet class where I spent a delightful day creating a bonnet form and chatting with some fabulous ladies! I went home with some lovely supplies:The silk is. . . Silllky. The flowers are charming. The lace? It's yummy.Okay, it's confession time. My teddy bear still lives on my bed. His name

I went to a Wind and Brass Recital at the local university. I have to write about it for my Music Appreciation class. I was SO not looking forward to it, but when I got there, I knew it was the real deal. They had a music building. A whole building. Love it. In their concert hall (in their music building) they have an organ.An organ. An organ. The first time I've seen one in real life. Let me

That was in the back of my closet, woefully dreaming of the day when I'd pull in out and wear it. *sniff*However, it neglected to realize that I didn't wear it because it was so long I couldn't walk in it. This is not a good thing with a wrap skirt as one must be careful not to step on one's skirt and have it drizzle off of one's body in front of everyone. Just a hypothetical thought, there. . .

I share a room with several sisters, and we all have our areas, which are all plastered with our pictures and poems, coloring, etc. Well we also have this big stripe running around the perimeter of the room that has had, for several years, dragonflies and flowers scattered at random on the stripe.   At the time we put these up, our interior designing skills weren’t as developed as

I do hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas! Ours was, of course, rainy, but now we’re enjoying a dusting of snow. My winter break started with a busy Saturday. A 1855 Christmas party, then a Civil War era Christmas dance! I loved swishing around in my new silk, which was a present from last Christmas, and which I started last June. A very fun day, but when I came home I had the best waltz

The year is almost over, Christmas is approaching rapidly. We’ve had the first snow we’ve seen in a year or two. It’s remained on the ground since Sunday night. . .

There was no school on Friday, so we went on a trip to a pumpkin farm! The weather cooperated perfectly; it was an absolutely gorgeous day. The farm was small enough not to feel too commercial, but big enough so that it had a few activities. We were there for about an hour, but it felt like longer because of all the fun we had. It didn’t seem rushed, just complete. I love the

Not just for Thanksgiving; here's a list of the little things that I'm grateful for:-Reading my bible every morning.-An awesome brother who walks me to Spanish class every morning (and tutors me in calculus every evening)-Psalms 90:12-

Anyone who knows me knows that my dream instruments are the mandolin, the piano, the violin, the guitar, and the flute, in that order. I adore stringed instruments, and like woodwinds.That being said, check this guy out:I was talking to a friend yesterday about the difference it makes when you play your instrument with feeling. It makes music so much more powerful, and enjoyable.~Sophia

I wish a lot of old fashioned manners were used nowadays. Here's one of my favorite blog posts from one of my favorite blogs about 19th century manners for gentleman (not that any of the guys I know need to learn, it's just an interesting read ;)). If you're like me, you like history. And if you haven't, you should definitely read this blog. I might have talked about it already, but it's an

Gareth’s birthday was this last weekend, and due to Dad’s work schedule, the birthday was spread over three days! Presents and cake one day, the fair and more presents the next, and a movie and no chores the last day! Happy Birthday Gareth! ~Sophia

We went on opening day to the local fair! Because Clara’s performance was at 6:00pm, we experienced the fair in the evening! Another new thing was all the people we saw there that we knew! Clara was, as usual, spectacular! Her performance was amazing. Tarquin was outstanding! He drove a race car, piloted a plane, rode a wild horse and tamed the wild goats in the petting zoo.

Labor Day Weekend was our church’s annual campout! We came on Sunday and stayed all day. There was water, football, tag, volleyball, board games and rip-sticks.  On previous days, there was dancing and kayaking, as well as the talent show. There was, of course, amazing food, daily services and on Sunday there were baptisms. Hanging out. . . Exploring. . . It’s a sword!

Summer is over. For me, it's not done yet, but homeschool did start today. Nigel and I are in the schoolroom, but only to finish Geometry (and I need to finish sewing projects too).Today I ate two Ry Crisp crackers and a big blueberry muffin. It seems that I am intolerant to wheat. I'm not sure if I ate enough rye for it to "register" in my tummy, but until I test again (not looking forward to

Lately I've been getting stomach aches, and the worst one was after I went on a little baking spree. I made (and ate) crackers, breadsticks, bread, blueberry cobbler and cookies. So, I have decided to go gluten free for one week, ending on Monday.I've already tried going dairy-free; not only was it hard (craving-wise and why-on-earth-is there-dairy-in-spaghetti-sauce-wise), but it was also

July 21- 23rd, we were at the beach! The weather was slightly chilly and windy, but that’s not new. Though what *is* new is the sky and sea turning bright blue as the clouds disappeared when we were leaving. For the most part, there’s nothing new at the beach, but this year we found. . . Which meant. . . Seesawing was really fun until we started falling off! We celebrated a

Seriously!Today I had a lovely day at Fort Nisqually, volunteering at the middle school camp. It was "Gentleman's Day" so I dressed in my fancy summer dress, and I had a great time. The highlight of the day was the afternoon tea. The young gentleman campers were instructed to escort the young lady campers in to the table. I overhead one young man say, "Ah man! We aren't s'posed to do this kind of

I made some yummy carrot cupcakes on Friday for Father’s Day. The little carrots on top were fun to shape and roll in cinnamon “dirt”. There were some left over to share at the Fort on Saturday! The event was a big cooking competition. It was a cold dreary summer day, and there were very few volunteers and visitors. It was a slow day that I spent mostly chatting :) It was painful

Remember the test I needed to take to get into College classes? I posted about it a while ago. Well, I took the test and passed the writing and reading portions easily. However, I didn’t pass the math section. With a little tutoring  from big brother, I passed the math portion last week with flying colors! So now I just need to sign up for my classes and I’m good to go this fall. School ends

Hello there. It’s been quite a while since I posted, so forgive me if I make such an exciting event sound boring. Last weekend I went up to Seattle with some friends to see the Smuckers Stars On Ice tour. It was completely amazing! We saw Todd Eldredge, Jeremy Abbott, Meryl Davis & Charlie White, Alissa Czisny, Yuka Sato, Tanith Belbin & Ben Agosto, Sasha Cohen (my skating idol), Evan Lysacek,

It seems like I've just been spinning in circles lately. I've been busy (my motto), yet I have nothing much to show, maybe a big pile of math, but not much.(Sleepy squirrel, not a dead one. . .)I was busy on the weekend, with reenacting all day Saturday (I'm still recovering) and cooking all day Sunday. I made a lovely little dark chocolate espresso cake with a rich, decadent flavor and a tight

Well, I've been busy. My lack of blogging, as well as the bleary-eyed look you've seen me with lately, testify to my busyness. I have been sewing; about everyday since the 10th. I was mostly preparing my three little sisters to come reenacting with me at the Fort. It took me fourteen days, two weeks, to do it. I worked everyday after school, skipped school for two days before the event and

Or rather, I feel horrible, *and* elated beyond words. Let me explain. This week is spring break! That means knitting, hanging out, sleeping in, sewing, catching up on homework, artistry, and cleaning. Whew! Only took two days, I still have time for collages, flower planting, wood whittling and the sniffles. Yes, that’s why I feel bad, clutching onto my box of tissues and looking pathetic. Yet

I passed up to the next level in figure skating: Freestyle 2! I’m so excited, I’m just dancing on clouds. Also, I’ve just finished reading “The Mysteries of Udolpho” by Ann Radcliffe, written in 1794. It was a good book with several passages worth committing to my commonplace book, but the heroine kept fainting into the convenient arms of a beautiful guy, which I found irritating. It’s sort of

Today's assignments were: Make chocolate roses from couverture chocolate and make a perfect cake. My 14 yr old sister made the roses and I made the "perfect cake". I think it turned out great! It's a lemon flavored cake with a tight crumb; raspberry preserves; and light, creamy, fluffy, lemony buttercream frosting; and the cake is sprinkled with sweetened shredded coconut. It only needs
