132 Dollar Vacation

August 2, 2010February 17, 2013 Katrina RyderLiving Poorganically

  So we did it. We managed to go on vacation and stay in budget.  Here’s the breakdown and a gallery of pictures from our trip.  Last night I spent a bazillion years typing all this witty narrative to go with the pictures and then it vanished into thin air, so forget it.   As…Continue reading 132 Dollar Vacation

The Greater Good

July 20, 2010February 17, 2013 Katrina RyderNutty

I’ve been meaning to put this post up for some time, but life has gotten in the way.  Our main computer situation is still tenuous and I don’t have normal access to all the pictures I want.  Did I mention how terrible it will be if we lose all our pictures?  All my gazillions of…Continue reading The Greater Good

The Longest Day

June 20, 2010 Katrina RyderNutty

But so far, it seems to have wiped my brain clear of thoughts all together, so if I disappear for a few days here and…Continue reading The Longest Day

Summer Activities

June 17, 2010 Katrina RyderNutty

Since J is home all summer long, we have to make sure that we have activities that keep us busy and prevent us from driving each other crazy.  For this reason, we like to have a daily activity for each day that helps both us and the kids.  Last summer, when we still only had…Continue reading Summer Activities

About me

Hi! I'm Katrina. I'm married to an elementary school music teacher and am mom to three busy teenagers. Although I dream of being a writer, I keep busy substitute teaching, directing Shakespeare plays, teaching homeschool classes and working seasonally at a local u-pick farm. These days my blog is mostly a venue for information about my homeschool classes, but the archives contain my old posts about faith, finances, food, and family. I also have archives of The Poorganic Life food blog and You Go Girl! studies. I love Jesus, my family, libraries, audiobooks, Harry Potter, talking about the Enneagram, gardening, Hamilton, and eating crusty bread.

Where’s the one about . . .?
