I am having so much fun participating in Lynnette's blog party! If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, do it now! (Well, after you finish reading here, ya know).

I have found some amazing new blogs to follow and learned some new things about some of the bloggers I already follow. And to think, I would have missed out on this fabulous post from Pumpkin Pie Painter if I hadn't found her blog at the party!
I haven't even made it through half the list yet, so I know I'll be finding even more great blogs to follow!

Of all the things that we are learning about through our homeschooling, I think the most satisfying is getting to hear Landon and Sierra learning to read. They are both doing an awesome job! I love seeing that light in their eyes when they read something new all by themselves!

The weather outside today is amazing! I don't know what the exact temperature is, but the sun is shining and it's beautiful! Daniel and the kids went out for a walk on the ranch, so I have the house to myself for a while (which is also amazing) and they didn't even take jackets. As soon as I finish this post, I'm going to go open all the windows and let the fresh air in.

This morning, I picked up a red velvet cake donut for breakfast. It was super sweet! But, I'm not really supposed to have stuff like that anymore. So, don't tell anyone, okay?

Daniel was gone to Texas for work for several days this week. When he finally got home on Tuesday night, I was jubilant! I was definitely not cut out to be a single mom! It looks like I'm going to get to try it again, though, because he's supposed to go back sometime in the next couple of weeks. This time, he'll be gone even longer. :(
