Menu Plan Monday and the Week Ahead…

February 28, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This is going to be a different sort of week so I won’t have much of a menu plan.  David is out of town until late Tuesday, I have choir rehearsal Wednesday evening, and we are attending a Red Cross fund raising dinner on Thursday.  I’m going to take advantage of a week in which…

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

February 28, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

  The sermon at church this morning was based upon a passage from the 6th chapter of Matthew which includes this verse: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life,  what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear.” David and I kept glancing at…

I was asked if I would agree to be interviewed for a blog post about our journey as unschoolers.  Lauren Fisher blogs at Sparkling Adventures in New Zealand and is seeking out unschoolers with adult children.  So far, she has two posts on the subject.  If you are curious about what homeschooling looked like in…

The city of my soul..

February 23, 2011 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

I’m really missing New Orleans, especially since my NOLA friends have started posting pictures of the parades which have started for Carnival season.  One of these days we will be there for Mardi Gras but for now, I am just counting the days until our April trip.

National Margarita Day

February 22, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

If you’d like to make your own Margarita, watch this: David’s salesman is in town today so we will probably go out to dinner with him tonight.  I’ll let Joe, one of our favorite bartenders, make my Margarita.  No salt, please.

Urban Homesteading – a subversive activity

February 21, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Have you heard all the hoopla about the Dervais family and their attempt to trademark the terms “urban homestead” and “urban homesteading”?  These are the folks from Path To Freedom whom I’ve long admired for their interesting lifestyle.  In the midst of Pasadena, California, they have turned their ordinary city lot into a productive mini-farm. …
