Peaceful Island Mother coming to a close!

November 26, 2011

Image: sixninepixels / FreeDigitalPhotos.net


Well, as hard as it is to say goodbye I will be closing Peaceful Island Mother's door before the end of this year. As soon as the custom domain name expires I will not be renewing and deleting the blog forever.  I just have not been able to keep up like I had hoped or was able to build up readership for that matter.  I have been enjoying my time as a freelance writer and blogger earning an income for my family on the side so it takes up my computer time.  I have strict times on the computer as a homeschooling mom and felt this was best.  But....and this is a BIG but, I will be starting a new blog (name undisclosed at this time).  It will be a blog about raising children up as unto the Lord etc., I will be devoting myself to this blog ministry up to three times a week to start maybe less.  This blog will be more of an accountability thing for myself to keep me training my children up in the Lord.  The blog will also reflect our homeschool journey.  It's been a rough start so maybe connecting with other homeschool mom bloggers will help me stay focused and motivated and strengthen my relationship with Jesus Christ.

Peaceful Island Mother was a great run for myself and the readers that did stay dedicated, even to something that wasn't even consistent and for that I want to thank you.

God bless you all.  Stay tuned for the launch of of my new blog, especially if you are a homeschooling family!  Have a wonderful week!

Pink Eye? Oh No!

November 7, 2011


Well, last night I noticed something going on with my left eye and lo and behold I found out I have pink eye!  Really?  Oh no is right.  In all the years I have worked with kids and been around kids I have never gotten pink eye.  I guess there is a first time for almost everything right? YUCK!

As I am sitting here typing my eye is leaking constantly ugh.  I am trying the home remedy approach with lemon juice.  Just put some in a dropper and BAM!  Can you say OUCH?  Oh yes, does it burn because...

Ready for a change

September 29, 2011

Well, tomorrow evening we are off as a family on vacation for 5 days and I cannot wait.  Are we heading out of state or somewhere tropical?  Yeah, in my dreams haha! We are actually just heading up state to stay in my in-laws cabin on 10 acres of rustic woods and cannot wait.  It will just be me, hubby, and the girls this time around.

The nice thing about taking three weekdays with the girls during hubby's schedule vacation is I don't have to worry about schooling.  Since we now homeschool I c...

Time4Learning

August 24, 2011


Just recently I was given the opportunity to try out the learning site "
Time4Learning.com."  It's an educational site for school supplementing, after school, summer school, or even homeschool programs.

My 8 year old and 5 year old were set to try their grade levels and did a different activity almost every day from mathematics to language arts.  I found the program very educational and a chance for their young minds to expand.  At the end of every lesson they were given quizzes to review what ...

Summer Scorcher

July 20, 2011


Hello bloggy friends it's been a couple a months, I know.  Now that summer is in full swing I didn't think I would be as busy as I have been.  A lot has unfolded which I will be sharing in a later post but for now let's just say I will be homeschooling my daughters full time in the fall.  Pretty excited but I have so much to accomplish before the summer is out.

Anyways, what has your summer temps been like?  Here in good ole Michigan we are experiencing a summer scorcher.  It's supposed to hit...

Can't wait to hear what is going on with all of you in the blogosphere.  I feel so disconnected.  Have a very wonderful and blessed Memorial day weekend!
