OK, I finally got a picture of my kids up… and fixed the blogroll over to the side… so yeah! Whoo hoo! I’ll probably be changing it around a lot, so please be patient! [in case you are wondering, this was last year’s Christmas picture. As you can see, Grace is all of a month … [Read more…]
I will be playing around with my blog (when I have the time) over these next few days… or weeks… depending on how much computer time I get. So, if you wake up one morning, click on Chez Ouiz and get some completely different looking blog, don’t freak — and try to be charitable! *grin*
Updated (see below) My computer has crashed… and no, I didn’t back stuff up. My dh, God bless him, will hopefully pull a miracle out of his pocket and save the day, Knowing the kind of man he is, he will keep the “What were you thinking??” and the “I told you so’s” out of … [Read more…]
Just a quick note here (since I am supposed to be finishing up the planning for this week’s homeschooling!) Elizabeth Foss some time ago… I’m not sure when… recommended the Adoremus Hymnal. It sounded like a great CD for us to get, so I bought it. I’m so glad I did. Perhaps you live in … [Read more…]

Final purchase price (money out of my pocket): $7.00 It pays to clip coupons, watch the circulars, and take advantage of offers that stores give you!!!! [this same store, when it was all said and done, wound up paying ME a dollar to purchase 3 picture DVDs and 4 bags of candy last week.]
Subtitled: Ouiz grows up just a little bit. I have very strong opinions about a lot of things, as those who know me well can attest. I could give you example after example, but for now I’ll stick with just this one: what my family should and should not do when I am working. If … [Read more…]
Got mountains of laundry to fold? Kids who don’t want to go outside because it’s too hot or buggy? Let them see this video And the race is on! If you don’t speak Japanese, and would actually like to know what they are saying, you can watch this one instead… My husband actually does fold … [Read more…]
I hope all of you have a safe and wonderful 4th of July. The more I learn about the country and culture of others (as wonderful as they may be), the more I have come to truly appreciate what I have always taken for granted. Praise God for the privilege to be born in this … [Read more…]
I could NOT, in good conscience, go to sleep without letting everyone know how today went! It was fine. It wasn’t the prettiest homeschooling day we’ve ever had… and certainly wasn’t the most organized… but we did it. Praise God! I spent the first hour in the kitchen with Christopher and Thomas, going over their … [Read more…]
