Welcome
Easy as pie? Is pie really easy? It's easy to eat, but not always easy to make. Excellence is easy to appreciate and enjoy, but getting there takes a while. Join me in my Pursuit In Excellence. It won't be quick , but it will be worth it!
For me excellence revolves around motherhood and grandmahood. It is central to my many interests which I use to help my children develop their talents and have fun.
I share my journey here, The Homemaking Cottage and Arizona Mama. Be sure to see what else is cooking!

Forth of July Week, Day Two
Yesterday was another fun day at Summer School. We read a story about Paul Revere and learned about the Revolution. We sang “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and learned about the song “Yankee Doodle Dandy”. I didn’t know that the British started the song as an insult to the colonist. The highlight of the day was fireworks in a glass – don’t worry there were no explosives in the house. Here’s the link http://www.ehow.com/how_2077266_make-fireworks-glass.html. Monday’s lesson about the 13 colonies, reminded them of Pocahontas. We watched that in the afternoon.
A New Month
Here we are again, another month in the history books. For me it’s a time to reflect on my goals from June and set July’s goals. Summer is going way too quickly. I’ve done many of the things I wanted with the kids, and there are a few more I’m still hoping to squeeze in. I want to work on sewing lessons – at least mending – and a little more cooking practice.
I hoped to get 12 scrapbook layouts done in June. I’m making progress with 9. I’ll shoot for 11 in July. I didn’t get as much writing done as I had hoped, but Family History was way over the top! I’ve added 55 names to my PAF file this month. I will keep plugging on with my writing and family history in July.
What are you working on in July?
