My granddaughters Rebekah and Abigail enjoying the nativity.
(Rebekah looks quite like a wise man, doesn't she?)
Hello!
We've got the tree up and the bubble lights are bubbling. We've visited the nativity on Main Street in our little town. We've sung the carols. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house!
And I feel like Mrs. Claus these days and it is plenty of fun. I love toys, especially quality toys with good educational value. Come and see the Boys' Toys and Girls' Delights I've found to make your children very happy on Christmas morning.
Scroll down to see our fabulous Stocking Stuffers!

Hi!
I am Diane Hopkins, mother of 7 children (ages 14 to 34) whom I have had the privilege of homeschooling over the past 23 years. I'm a mom, just like you, and have those fabulous days and those not-so-good days like we all do. My hope in writing is to share experiences, and hopefully we can encourage one another in this wonderful, intense adventure of childraising--that is really what homeschooling is, after all.
Hoping to help, if I can!
Love, Diane
