Blog Par-tay!!

It's blog party time! Welcome to our blog!! Come on in and make yourself at home. We've got some sweet tea over on the side-board for Lindsey and all you other southern ladies. Sample some of Barb's apple cake, Laura helped me with the sauce (and we managed this time without her hubby's help). We've got some deviled eggs on the table, provided by our 5 hens, (try one...we don't want to offend "the girls")

And of course we have chips, salsa and avocado dip... because this is California, and that is just what we do around here.

Let me acquaint you with our home-y little blog: At home are Jenny and Sky, the kids- Meg age 11, Josie age 10, Demi-Sky age 7 and Amie age 5. We live in So. California (don't hate us because we have beautiful weather!!) in a normal sized house, with a normal sized lot. We do manage to have 5 hens, a garden, and a worm farm despite our normal house persona. Sky is a building inspector, specializing in schools and hospitals. Jenny is the blogger...in her spare time aka: home school mom. How does an unorganized girl of thought and habit homeschool?? Um, eclectically. You will find in my posts some Charlotte Mason practices, classical education practices, unschooling, literature-based, some text books and everything in-between. My husband likes to say I am the idea person, bless his heart. Our blog is a way to keep friends and family up to date on our everyday lives, a place to share my thoughts and ramblings, cute pictures of our kids, interesting homeschool ideas, and devotional thoughts on faith. And the friends!! I have made some incredible, sweet, smart friends here in blogland.

Our adventures, dreams and journeys all begin and end at home- life is an adventure, take a step!

At 7:05 AM, Musings of a Housewife said...: Hi! Thanks for visiting. I love your blog! What a beautiful design. I've been poking around a bit, and that whole Al Gore global warming post really got to me. My kids are in public school, but who knew you had to deal with that crap when you homeschool!? @@ (eyeroll) And yes, I am SO jealous of your gorgeous weather. March in PA is, well, not gorgeous, lol!!
At 7:13 AM, Lauren said...: Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm looking forward to reading yours and getting to know you! I have relatives near LA, maybe we'll make it out that way for a visit someday!
At 8:26 AM, redmaryjanes said...: What a beautiful family! I'm a blog party girl. You have a lovely blog here. Come on by and visit mine if you have the time..
At 2:08 PM, Barb said...: Hi Jenny,

What a neat idea, posting a photo of your house. I feel like I'm walking right up to your front door.

Worm farm? Huh? I knew you had hens but worms? OK, put me out of my mysery and tell me why you have a worm farm. LOL Please don't tell me the worms are for the hens because that's way too obvious and I'll feel like a moron.

Love your blog, love you and your family and I really love hearing all about your daily lives.
At 2:32 PM, Amber said...: Mmmmm, avocado dip...count me in!

What a lovely blog you have here and I mean that because "lovely" usually isn't in my vocabulary.

What a great find through The Party!
At 3:50 PM, Hen Jen said...: wow, it has been so nice to chat with all the ladies that have stopped by my party!! I have enjoyed visiting your blogs in return!

Lauren, we live in Orange County not far from Los Angeles, I would love to meet you sometime when you are in town visiting your relatives! I have never 'mirled' (met in real life) a blogger friend, that would be really neat! Send me an email when you are in town.
At 3:58 PM, Hen Jen said...: Barb, I emailed you...but I thought I would say something here incase anyone else is wondering. The worms are for the garden, not for the hens. Tho the hens would love to have them if they knew of their existence! The worms' 'castings' are very good fertilizer. Hubby is always busy with something interesting!
At 6:35 PM, Anonymous said...: Is it ok if I mildly dislike you for your weather? We've had snow every day for the last 7 days here in Wisconsin!
At 10:05 AM, Katrina @ Callapidder Days said...: Hi Jenny, so nice to "see" you at this huge blog party! :) Thanks for stopping by my party post, too. I love your family picture - what a lovely family you have! And I have to admit that I might be a teeny, tiny bit jealous of your weather...considering that today it's 24 degrees and snowy where I am...and I'm more than ready for Spring!
At 12:56 PM, Anonymous said...: Hello! I heard you had sweet tea, so I had to stop by for a quick sip. Mmmm...Delicious!!! :)
At 1:04 PM, Wendi said...: Hi Jenny, nice to meet you! How funny that our blog names are so close. You know what they say, "great minds thing alike!"

Great family photo. Thanks for stopping by.

You have a very beautiful family!

Have a nice weekend! :)
