unplugging

Just the right bag for the car for Esther

Just a quick note to let you know that this space will be pretty quiet for the next couple of weeks.

We’re going on a much anticipated vacation. This is our last year that we are guaranteed to have all of our children with us so we’ve instigated a no “plugged in” rule.

Although we might use the boys ipods for google maps if we need to since I’m having trouble finding paper state maps. I love the big paper maps on a road trip!

For those wondering, the last pillowcase dress tutorial will be up sometime after we get back. I’m not going to put a date on it, we’ll just call it a surprise. It’s my favorite one, its the one that I made the girls for Easter. 

I thought I’d leave you with a few links to check out while I’m gone:

Ladybug’s Abode – Rachel’s a regular reader here and has a great blog where she discusses homeschooling, her faith and her new adventure in homesteading.

Beauty and Bedlam – check out Jen’s Frugal Fashionista posts. The vast majority of her clothes come from garage sales and Goodwill. You’d never know.

Beauty that Moves – Heather’s site is full of amazing pictures. She also has some great whole foods recipes so make sure and check out her recipes.

An Oregon Cottage – Jami is the host of Tuesday Garden Party. She blogs about gardening, home decor – she and her husband used brown paper to “tile” one of their floors –  and most recently started sharing how she lost quite a bit of weight.

Homestead Revival – Amy has an incredibly informative blog on all things homesteading and preparedness. And of course, great pictures.

Happy Browsing!

Thanks for sharing with your friends!

Enjoy your time as a family! My kids are/were all homeschooled. My oldest son went off to college last year and 2 months last my oldest daughter got married. Sure changes things, especially with vacation! Still have two left at home for a few more years. Have a blessed day. Found you from Balancing Beauty and Bedlam.
