Mercy is Feeling Better!

We are very thankful that our little Mercy is up and about after three days of sickness! She has had a high fever, along with lethargy, loss of appetite, headaches, and vomiting since Tuesday. Today, she was up and playing and talking non-stop all day. Praise God that we are in His hands in our sickness and in our health. When my children are ill, I am especially reminded of what a blessing they are in our lives.

Since she was feeling better, we did crafts. This is her kitty cat paper bag puppet.

Educational Accents gets 5 Stars!

I have to post a rave review for the website Educational Accents! This is a site that buys and sells used homeschool curriculum. I have purchased from them in the past and they have great prices as well as speedy shipping.

Last week, I placed another order. When I received the shipment this week, I realized that one of the books I ordered, Famous Men of Greece, was not the full textbook, but a guide for the book. I checked the receipt and it simply said Famous Men of Greece. I wasn't sure if the mistake was mine or edaccents. I decided not to do anything, especially since the cost was so little.

The next day, I received an email from edaccents asking me to comment on my order. I think I gave them 4 out of 5 stars. And mentioned the mistake. Later that afternoon, I received a phone call from an edaccents representative. She apologized for the mistake and said that they were going to ship the correct book out and that I could keep the guide they had sent! Talk about quick, responsive customer service!

I am really impressed with this website. Even though the mistake may not have been their fault, they wanted to make sure that I was satisfied. The next time I need homeschool books, I will definitely check them first.

Happy Birthday Isaac Blue!

Today, is my brother's birthday. As I was looking for a picture to post of him, I realized that I don't have any recent ones! This is the most recent one. It was taken last July. The lovely lady next to him is his wife, Cathy.

Tonight, the whole familia is going to Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ for dinner to celebrate Isaac and Jason's birthdays. Yum! I will have to take my camera to take some shots of my handsome brother!

Happy Birthday Mr. Davis!

Yesterday was Jason's birthday! We spent it just the way he wanted: quietly at home with a home cooked meal. I told him I would make whatever he wanted, which I thought would be shepherd's pie. He chose fettucine alfredo, glazed carrots, home-made bread, and chocolate chip cookies. We had a very relaxing evening.

Happy Birthday My Love!
