what i’ve been doing

by Rachel Marie Martin

First, I was asked to be a guest poster on Lizzy’s blog.  Her blog?  Living on Literary Lane.  I posted a post that I wrote on the “classic” finding joy — love that term classic –a couple years ago on homeschoolblogger.  Anyways, see that picture below?  That’s me.  The one on the left.  In a boat.  And my hair is not standing straight up. (Wondering about that?  Scroll on down to Monday’s Miscellany post with a picture of my Mowahk.  Truly)

Want to read the whole post?  It’s about faith, and who we let steer our life.  Click over to

That’s not all I’ve been doing.  And you were thinking this would be a short, easy-to-comment-to post (and you know I love your comments), but nope.  I’ve also been a slave to the computer.  Yep.  I’m listing homeschool books on Ebay.  Now, facebook friends, I know you’ve seen these pictures already.  Listing books? that takes work. Here’s why:


books, books, booksoh my!

and, of course, I need to put in a picture of my helper, Samuel.  (this is for you Carissa!)



Anyone want any homeschool books?  Back to ebay.  And coffee. And sweet Samuel. 🙂


Maybe I should do a give-away with some of these books.  That would be way more fun.

Raymond Moore was very influential in us choosing homeschooling! Glad to see you’re passing the books on so someone else can be influenced!

Good luck on Ebay!! I have a box full of things marked for Ebay. 🙁 You’re making me feel guilty for letting it set there…..

Good luck listing all those books! We have a small little library in our house, and we have a list of all the books in it. Care to guess how long it took us to type that out? You don’t even want to know!

With blessings,

I guess it is that time of year huh?

I have not only cleaned out books, but all my WICKEDLY Expensive wood montessori and waldorf toys in an effort to reclaim space and recoup some $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

But ebay is really a pain to list on. IT TAKES ME FOREVER! But I can’t complain about the results.

No matter what happens in life, the Lord has us wrapped up in His loving care. Praying!

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Thank you!
