I've been waiting for
Petra to start up her Wednesday blog hop again to post this, but she's discontinued that for the time being, so I'll post it now:)
When we started to homeschool, I needed a dry erase board or a chalkboard or something to, you know, school on. It took me a little while, but I finally figured out that dry erase markers work on glass beautifully. So the
Dry Erase China Cabinet was born.

| I taped some paper to the back of the doors you see. |

| Books have replaced the knick knacks that used to live in here. Aren't they neatly organized? The artwork is by the "babies" -the 3 and 4 year olds. |
A few years later, the Mr. found this in the storage area of our garage (this house was his grandparent's, so we're always finding cool things)...chalkboard, check!

| Someone is in the fridge, as usual. |
I overslept this morning, horrors! I don't know what happened. Anyway maybe I needed to sleep, since this has been my mood for the last couple of days:
But, when I got out here it was storming, so that was exciting:

| Hail....I never understood it. |
Have a great weekend everyone!
I like your "white board" idea. Great motivational graphic, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat white board idea.
ReplyDeleteThere's learning all around you, Ma! Have a beautiful weekend, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies, I hope someone on a shoestring budget can get some inspiration:)
DeleteHas it been hailing there? My wife and I recently moved to Raleigh from Chicago, and I have actually been missing the snow and absurdly low temperatures, though my wife definitely has not. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was hailing this morning, then more this afternoon. I wouldn't miss Chicago weather at all, so I'm with your wife on that one!
DeleteThe poster just made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteMe too, my oldest finds these things:)
DeleteWhat a creative solution! I love it. I have had some blah days too this week. I feel like a could literally sleep the day away if they let me.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
Tell me about it, sleep is a nice diversion indeed.
DeleteHail! Here we had wind, and it was NOISY, all night long...and it's still windy out there, though not as bad as it was last night! I was thinking of the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy's house in the tornado last night!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Ma, it's LONG! and there's much to read there, want to read his thoughts about hell. I think he doesn't think there is one...so I'll have to ponder & consider his reasons why. :)
I was really upset by his site at first, too, but if one is truly seeking the Truth we needn't fear. I find that as I have mellowed (HA!) that I'm not so afraid to eat the meat and spit out the bones as they say. We are all deceived about something I'm sure.
DeleteYou are a genius for inventing the school china cabinet!!!! SO creative!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny:)
DeleteToo cool. I feel bad now. :( Well, almost. :)
ReplyDeleteI might start it back, don't know yet. The main reason for quitting was that my linky got hijacked and spammed. Had to close it. But keep up the good work!! Blessings!
I'm sorry to hear that. I have run across a few instances where you know someone is just trying to generate traffic to their own site...which is fine, I guess, but I'm not really into that.
DeleteI imagine a blog hop is a lot of work, too. I don't usually participate in them, myself, but couldn't resist the WoW.;)
Hi Petra,
DeleteSo sorry you are having trouble with your website :( I haven't been able (and still cannot) go to your blog, it says I have to be invited. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
Ok, I figured out what I was doing wrong (blush faced emoticon here)
DeleteMy wife and I don't have a working television, and I haven't spent much time reading news online lately. I just heard about the tornadoes in the Midwest from my parents. I hope that everyone is ok near you, and that the tornadoes haven't been in your area.
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie, we're all fine, the storms hit way south of here. I haven't heard much about them, either, as we don't watch TV ourselves.
DeleteMy mom was visiting today and she filled me in on what she saw on the news, very sad. And it could be any one of us at any time. Life is so fragile.
