It has dipped into the 50’s this week, and with the “cooler” weather comes hot tea, a blanket wrapped around my shoulders in the morning, and lots of time to stare out at the grey sky and contemplate. Now that I’m officially a college student, I’ve had a lot of time to ponder my high … Continue reading Reacting To Homeschool Stereotypes

We Found Our Forever Home?!
It’s been a while since I’ve written a general life update post. As I glance through the recent blog posts, I am struck by two things. 1st – wow, I haven’t posted much in the past couple years, and most of what I have written has been about books. 2nd – last time I did … Continue reading We Found Our Forever Home?!
Memories of 2024
Happy (almost) New Year! 2025 is nearly upon us, and as I sit and type in the dusk of the old year, I wonder what is ahead. 2024 certainly was different than I had envisioned it. I knew we would move, but I didn’t know what a move it would be. I had 2024 planned … Continue reading Memories of 2024
How’d I Do? Reviewing 2023 Goals & Making New Resolutions
2022 was a good year. I was very productive and I did a lot of things that I was scared I'd never find the strength to do. 2023 was the oposite. I feel like I backslid in a lot of ways and gave into fear completely. It was a good year in a lot of … Continue reading How’d I Do? Reviewing 2023 Goals & Making New Resolutions
Random Life Update: November
Hello everyone! Here at the Reschly house we are covered in grease and drowning in sweets. That means only one thing - Hanukah has arrived! Originally I was going to do my traditional post about it, but as it is already the sixth night and I'm too tired to do a whole different post, I'll … Continue reading Random Life Update: November
Island of Misfits
I was born marred. The hideous scar on my right cheek defined my destiny. As soon as my mother saw it, she abandoned me. She left me, a helpless baby, to fend for myself in a world that hated me for something that I did not choose. Many who saw me screamed in horror and … Continue reading Island of Misfits
Looking To Belong
The sun was setting as we drove over the Gay Street Bridge in Knoxville, TN. The water far below us was so beautiful in the golden light. The clouds that stretched across the sky were tinted pink. Everything around me was perfectly lovely. We'd spent the whole day driving and we were exhausted. We had … Continue reading Looking To Belong
What Makes A House A Home
I’ve lived in a lot of different houses over the years. If I remember correctly, the last place that I was sad to leave was our little farm, when I was around nine or ten years old. It wasn’t that I loved the house (it was a double wide trailer that was terrifying to be … Continue reading What Makes A House A Home
Chronicles Of A Chronic Mover 2.0
Hey friends! We officially moved into our new house on October 2nd. *wipes forehead* since then we have been cleaning (lots of cleaning, unfortunately) and unpacking! ANYWAY, moving is a perfect time for funny/weird/laughable things to happen. 😉 Enjoy this segment of Chronicles of a Chronic Mover. 😉 Amazingly, the drive down here went very … Continue reading Chronicles Of A Chronic Mover 2.0
A Day In My Life 2.0 (+ surprising announcement)
Hey guys! I did one of these day-in-the-life things back in March, but my life has changed quite a bit since then. I was planning to write up a whole post announcing this, but it fits in here fine, so yeah. XD We are planning another move. Within the next few weeks actually. *grins awkwardly … Continue reading A Day In My Life 2.0 (+ surprising announcement)
Father’s Day/Birthday/Scavenger Hunt Summery
Hey guys! I hope that you all had a great Father’s Day weekend! Since Jehosheba’s birthday was on Sunday, Mama decided that we should celebrate Father’s Day on Friday. Daddy was home for the day. We went swimming a bit that morning. Around four or so, we had a big, special meal! There were burgers, … Continue reading Father’s Day/Birthday/Scavenger Hunt Summery
A Day In My Life
Miss Rosy Marr, you are my blogging inspiration. 😛 Rosy did a blog post about a day in her life, which inspired me to do one as well! (Sorry, Rosy, I keep stealing your ideas....) 9:15 AM I (reluctantly) wake up and headed downstairs for breakfast with my family. 10:00 I go outside for my … Continue reading A Day In My Life
A (mostly) Silent Night
(I wrote this last night, but didn't end up publishing it.) It's 6:50 and I am home, (mostly) alone. My parents and three of my siblings are out shopping at the moment. My other siblings are playing Uno upstairs. And me? I'm sitting blissfully alone in the living room, listening to the dishwasher. XD I've … Continue reading A (mostly) Silent Night
