I’ve been in Las Vegas for a Singapore Math Conference. Seriously. This homeschooling thing is no joke. For the past week I’ve spent the better part of 9 hours each day thinking about the one thing I dreaded and avoided in school: math. The conference was held at the same time of the National Tobacco Conference and although that sounds seriously horrible to me, it turned out to be amazing for so many of the teachers attending the conference. Why? Many of us got upgrades because of the limited availability of non-smoking rooms! Bonus! The picture above is of the swanky suite I was upgraded to. I was seriously impressed with the Venetian Hotel. It was the first time I’ve ever stayed there and I as soon as my head stops spinning I’ll sit down and write a post about it for the travel section.
In between practicing Singapore Math Model Drawings I managed to read a few things online:
If you don’t live in South Florida this might not mean anything to you, but the former Versace Mansion is now in foreclosure.
The Day I stopped saying Hurry up {Hands Free Mama} made me rethink how I go through my days.
I don’t know whether to send you over to Lynn Knowlton’s feature on Design Mom for the pictures of her beautiful home or to hear the stories of her heart. I really fell for both and don’t get me started about the tree house. Seriously, the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life.

HI Karin Katherine, I don’t know how to reach you or whether you remember me. I met you when you were featured on Living with Kids and we exchanged a few blog comments. I’m trying to get ahold of you because someone gave me an extra Book of Mormon and I’m thinking of you. Have you read the Book of Mormon? Would you like one? I’d be happy to send this one to you if you do. I know reading the Book of Mormon brings me a lot of strength on tough days and over time helps my life get better :).
And no this is not a secret ploy to get your address :). If you’re interested, you can email me at penelopes dot pad at gmail dot com. I hope things are going well for you and your family!
