What grade are you in?



I just decided how to answer this! And that may sound weird to some of you, but let me explain my hesitancy on being definitive on this till this very moment.
First of all we homeschool. That means I teach my daughter where she is and we move on as things are completed.
Second, we're pretty much unschoolers and I like it that way. There's no beginning and end of our educational year, we just do stuff all year round. So there's no year end promotion.
Third, two almost three years ago, my daughter was a young five. If we had done the public school option, we could have entered her the day after she turned five or the day after she turned six into kindergarten. But we weren't in public school and didn't have to decide at that moment how old she would be as she entered each grade.
Fourth, we're starting to do more things in the big wide world and it's finally time to pick a grade and work with it, changing the number each end of May so that people can put us in group.

Therefore, my daughter is currently in the second grade and will be entering into the third grade this fall.

With that announcement, I'm going to finish folding laundry and then make some lunch.

Have you made any decisions lately?

    I feel like I'm in fourth grade myself... Garrett is definitely a fifth grader, which means he's smarter than I am.

    I've decided to ease up on my self-preservation instinct and trust more.

    Most days, I feel like a middle school drop out. Trust is a good thing.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and fighting to

The Edge of the Divine by Sandi Patty

I had my first experience with Sandi Patty when I attended a Women of Faith even a few years ago. The thing I remember most about her was her voice and her blonde hair. I did not know much of her history going into The Edge of the Divine , but after finishing it, I feel compelled to read some of her other books to find out more. Sandi had a lap band surgery about two years ago and in the midst of it, she learned a few things that she graciously shared with her readers. One of the recurring messages in the book is that God likes to make the ordinary extraordinary. God repeatedly uses the mundane to create the divine. Sandi talks about those moments as edges. The Edge of the Divine is not about her weight loss, but about the mind and spirit work that Sandi has been going through in the midst of weight loss. I am struck repeatedly as I think back upon the book of the phrase “I am enough.” She encourages us to believe that not only is God enough for us, but that we are enough fo

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj
