About This Blog Archive
- The posts on these pages originally appeared at The Lilting House, my ClubMom blog about home education, fun learning resources, and special needs children.
When I decided it was time to wrap up my work at ClubMom, I moved all the Lilting House posts and comments to this archive. Comments are still open, so feel free to chime in on any post that interests you. I love to hear what my readers have to say!
These days I am doing all my new posting (including on many Lilting House topics) at my primary blog, Here in the Bonny Glen. There you will find posts about my books, other people's books, my family, home education, and many other topics.
Info on how to fix broken Lilting House links and why I'm no longer blogging there can be found here.
Here are links to some of my most popular Lilting House subjects:

Whence It Came
That's funny. But really, who asked the question?

Ha! I love it!

I "conveniently" misplaced ours during our cross-country move, and since I never used it before anyway...my husband knows, to "just dampen it, and throw it in the dryer!" =)

Mt eldest was looking at one of those picture alphabet books when she was about two. When she got to the page for "I," she looked very confused. After staring at it awhile, she brought the book to me to ask, "What's that, Mumma?" The picture was of an iron... I go by the saying of a family friend: Iron is a noun, not a verb.

LOL! That would never happen here! Dh is an Army vet and they actually teach the soldiers to iron their uniforms in basic. He ironed his BDUs and he still irons his own shirts. I, generally, don't iron. I press! I'm a quilter, heirloom sewer, etc. so my iron is my friend.

I agree- the only time I use my iron is when I'm sewing- and too often not even then.

I have actually been asked that question by my honey too. ;) Though he should have known better because I do iron sewing projects...just not clothing. ROFL We use water and the dryer for that. ;)
