A Walk Through the Garden

Published on May 18, 2025May 19, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

A walk in nature always amazes me and reminds me that we serve an awesome GOD! We are surrounded by his love and mercy but often we get so caught up in life that we don’t see it or feel it.

We are so blessed to have an abundance of nature in our own backyard and garden… this reminds us our of creator every day.

It makes me ponder how amazing the Garden of Eden must’ve been… I’m sure that our garden can’t be anything close to that but it can be a place where we can talk to God and feel his presence as He surrounds us with His love. The burdens of this world melts around us when we allow ourselves to take in all of His glory.

How We Homeschool: 4-Day Sample Schedule

Published on May 13, 2025November 18, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

I thought it might be helpful to show how we go through our lessons for a week here so that you could give it a test run to see what might work for your home and schedule. Some things we do every day while others might have a specific day of the week or they may be done on even/odd days to work with our schedules.

We also try to have a four-day week with one day off for ‘Life Skills’ as there are lots of doctor appointments, errands to run, and sick days around here plus the gardens and animals keep us a little busy at times. I’ve tried to provide as many links as I can for demonstration purposes if you want to give this a test run but for more detailed information you can check out this post:

Polar Express 2024

Published on December 23, 2024December 17, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog5 Comments

Hey everyone!

How are you doing? We are doing great… I had to take a couple of days to recuperate from the Polar Express Party. It was so much fun but it did take a lot out of me… I ended up with a migraine that night and spent the next two days in bed with a dreaded FIBRO FLARE but it was worth it… everyone seemed to have a great time.

I didn’t get as many pictures as I should have as I was too busy taking it all in… the smiles, the laughter, and just the blessing of being surrounded by friends and family.

We made some Fudge and Sourdough for gifts plus we still had some things left over from the baby shower and wedding earlier this year so those were given as gifts as well… the kids got lots of little toys and some cocoa and popcorn for their own movie night plus some really cute cups that I found at Dollar Tree…

This weekend was crazy fun and exciting… there is plenty more excitement to come in the next few months though with a wedding and then the arrival of my first grand child… I just can’t wait!

This post isn’t an update on all of that though … we will post soon about that. This post is one that has been on my heart and maybe someone else needs to read it.

This week we are super busy but I wanted to give everyone a little update. We made it through Hurricane Debby with only a bit of damage… mostly to plants and fruit trees. We’ve been cleaning up lots of limbs since the water has dried up a bit.
