a big (little) family: boot heels or something like it

Primarily written by Adrienne, a homeschooling mother of seven, ages 10 and under. She chronicles life, laughs, struggles, and lessons learned as she raises a larger-than-most sized family and tries to figure out what she's doing day by day.

With occasional posts, Alexandra, Adrienne's older sister, writes of her ranch life in Nevada and raising four sons, ages 5 and under. Life is never dull and her boys have given her some pretty awesome stories to tell.

Stick around awhile, and you're sure to laugh, nod, smile, be encouraged, and see what life is like with a big (little) family.

boot heels or something like it

After a discussion on plagiarism and instructions not to do it, I set the girls to their science assignment: to write about the climate in Missouri. With encyclopedia in hand, the girls got to work.

Eden’s report, in part, reads, “In July, average temperatures range from about 80* in the shoe heel section…”

Liberty’s reads, “In the puddle boot heel section…”

Oh my. Plagiarism, no. But we’re going to have to work on what is a technical term and what isn’t, I’m thinking.
