Good news–my husband started Weight Watchers with me this week and one of us is back in his or her jeans from college. *cough*
Also, I have a winner in my Thin Mint and $10 Starbucks gift card giveaway!

Yes they are, Stephanie! Please e-mail me to claim your cookies and coffee, hon!
Cheers,
She's in Italy. I"m not. Send them to me. She'll never know.
I agree with Susan. It's not fair she should get Italy and the cookies.
She's sooo lucky! I love thin mints and Starbucks LOL!
I'm following from the hop 🙂

I stumbled on your Blog through Facebook and our mutual connection with a bunch of precious homeschool pioneers. My wife Jeannie & I have been homeschooling since 1984. We've had the joy of helping build some state, regional, and local foundations of support in the years since and doing workshops on homeschooling since we founded the Gulf Coast Home Education Conference in 1987.
I LOVE your "name" Nota Supermom! It's great!
I immediately thought of something that Michael Farris shared with homeschool leaders in 1992, and I've been sharing in my homeschool workshops since he published it. I'm wondering if you've seen or heard it …..
"DON'T TRY TO BE A SUPERMOM
"You know the kind of mother that has figured out a unit study program that teaches her seven children three-variable algebra problems, the history of the Roman Empire, the atomic weight of the sixty four most common elements, and physical fitness all from Psalm 104 – fully illustrated with hands-on manipulatives using nothing but Legos. And somehow she still finds time to bake all her own bread, from flour she has ground by hand, from wheat she grew (organically of course) in the back yard."
MICHAEL FARRIS – Court Report , May-June 1992
If you hadn't seen it, I thought you'd like to add it to your "collection" of humor – and advice.
It is included in my workshop entitled "BURNOUT: How to Avoid It!" that I've been presenting for about 20 years. It's been a joy to serve, and the Lord led me to put all of our How to Homeschool Successfully workshops online for FREE a number of years ago. You or some of your readers might enjoy them at:

@Hank, thank you for the nice comment!
No, I'd never read that before, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for being a pioneer for those who homeschool in peace and with ease today.
