Back in December I took my kids to see the King Tut exhibit in Houston at the Museum of Fine Arts. It was educational, it fit the homeschool history time-period we’ve been stuck in like mummies for what seems like eternity, AND I happen to be a history and museum LOVER. OK, I’ll admit; it […]
Field Trip Foto Friday: Clinton Presidential Library
When in Arkansas, one has to notice that President Clinton has been there. You can’t get far from Texarkana without passing through Hope, Arkansas. You might not see much of the town if you blink or stay on the freeway, but you’ll certainly see the sign that states “Hope, Arkansas: Birthplace of President Clinton”. The […]

Postcards From Texas: East Texas, Hwy 59
I promised another postcard from our Texas trip, so here it is. Shhhh! Just don’t tell anyone I’m really not in Texas anymore. I was yesterday, however… and I jotted down a little note here and there along our scenic drive up Highway 59 to share with you when I got back to Arkansas. On […]
