In Homeschooling:::

For Home Life with both kids, we're concentrating on the garden, herbs, planting etc.  Jasmine is going to be learning about Immigration and Immigrant life in the US this week and Nicholas will be concentrating on communities :)

Looking around the house:::

My husband is sitting at his computer checking on his Facebook game Castleville, while getting ready for work.  The dogs are sleeping on the couch, my kiddos are asleep in bed, I hear the washing machine doing it's first load.  Right in front of me on the kitchen table is my beautiful Basil in it's pretty crochet box, it looks adorable and I can't wait to take pics when it's daylight :)

From the camera:::

Ginger Spice Apple Pie I made this weekend for a giveaway on my food blog.  Go on over and check it out, you could win a package from Lucky Leaf with pie fillings, a cookbook, a potholder and a crisp mix :)

Something fun to share:::

Have you ever heard of Jungle Search?  Well it's an Amazon Advanced Search that allows you to quickly find what you're looking for instead of having to browse through hundreds of pages.  It's pretty nifty :)  Check it out, I just found it the other day while searching for a book and it was very helpful to me :)

On my prayer list:::

My husband as he studies for his next rank, he will be testing for Master Sergeant on the 6th of March :)

Bible verse, Devotional::: 

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

James 1:21
