Isn't this a beautiful pillow? I just found out about this great site where you purchase items made by hand from all over the world. It is a nonprofit ministry that works with artisan groups in various countries. This pillow was made by an artist in Sri Lanka. People in this country are still being effected by the tsunami of 2004. Many of them still live in temporary housing, since their government will not allow them to rebuild within 100 meters of the ocean. Through relief efforts, they have received sewing machines. This is just one story behind one pillow. Go check out this site for unique, handmade gifts or items to decorate your home. There's lots of items, even stuff for kids.

Snow!! In March!!! I Can't Believe It!

We woke up to a big surprise this morning! When ever they say it's going to snow we never believe them. We ended up getting 2 to 4 inches. It never snows this late in North Carolina. Someone forgot that this is the Southeast. Even though we homeschool, we took a day off. The teacher needs a day off every now and then. And I don't won't to drive them crazy. We work pretty hard at keeping our schedule. How about you? Did you get any snow in your area?

His name is Rocky

Our New Addition

For Christmas, my kids decided they wanted a puppy.
Isn't he cute? He sure eats a lot. Since Christmas, he's grown quite a bit. My son is really doing well with the responsibility. I'm so excited about that, because, in the past, good ol' mom has been the one to get up early in the morning to walk the canine. He's pretty smart and he keeps us entertained. I'm less concerned that the kids will get bored. A concern of some homeschooling parents who's kids are home a lot. They have extracurricular activities often, but they do get tired of being home. A pet is a great way to learn to be responsible for another living thing. Now, if I could just get my daughter to be more enthusiastic about the not so fun parts of having a dog. :-)
