WARNING: I cannot remember, nor verify if I blogged about the following gems, "freebies," or not. The new layout of my blog has me flummoxed; do you feel the same way?
Officially The Ark Christian Academy opened for classes on Monday, August 17. Happily The Ark Christian Academy logged in two days of field trips mid-week last week. Never having started school in this relaxed manner before, I find it exactly what I need this year, especially given that I have been sick for a week now. Thanks be to God, I am steadily improving!
Freebie #1:
If your dentist offers you Nitrous Oxide before your dental procedure, gladly accept. You will thank me later! (Now you can write me and tell me all of the reasons this is a bad health decision -- I am that certain that it won't change my mind:)
Freebie #2:
Are you a Google Calendar and an Outlook Calendar user? (Yes, I do keep two different calendars on two different platforms; it works for me. I have tired various approaches over these many years. Feel free to make other suggestions!) If so, you might want to try initially scheduling your appointments and events on the Google Calendar, and then invite yourself via an email address that you open with Outlook's inbox. You can then simply accept the invitation with the drop down choices that show up in the email; I choose "accept and do not send a reply," since I am the one who invited myself.
Freebie #3:
Bullet Journaling is worth a "look-see" if you are some who writes things down even though you use other digital means to organize other parts of your life. There are many, many fabulous videos and blogs out there with lots of amazing ideas about how to use a Bullet Journal. Find the originator's video here:
http://bulletjournal.com/. I pretty much follow his basic plan, though I love the creativity and beauty of other bullet journals I have seen. When I find that I have time to make mine more beautiful, I'm sure I will. For now my simple analog journal is keeping me on track in this digital age!
As a matter of updating on some topics I know I have blogged about before, I am still living the Trim Healthy Mama way, though I don't always stay on plan. I hope to do better now that we have more of a routine. Ultimately I know that it is what's inside of me that will determine how diligently I follow the plan.
Also, I have not written much about our summer adventures as of yet -- finding it difficult to put into words. I can say, however, that something I blogged about earlier is something I seem to be putting into practice more and more.

Saying "yes" to God, even when every part of my soul and body are saying "no" is a faith builder. And faith is most definitely spelled "risk." More on this in a soon-coming post.
Gotta dash out to the bank and to buy some beloved local farm-raised EGGS!
