Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
Traditionally, when someone would use the word orchard they would be describing a piece of land set apart for the use of fruit trees. Today people often think of apples when they hear the word orchard. Here at the Old Path I guess we have taken a more traditional approach and mixed in various fruit [...]
The Rules Currently there aren’t many and I reserve the right to change that up too. Add your link below, it has to be about Homeschooling, it can be something you just did or an archive post that is a real good one. Art projects, Science experiments, Nature hikes you name it! If you don’t blog [...]
Several months ago now, I wrote a post about what I made Hannah for Christmas. I also mentioned how I was toying with the idea of selling some of my creations. One of my readers was slightly disappointed as she was hoping I would do a tutorial. Well, I am of the opinion that there are [...]
A very generous lady that Dave works with passed along some hand-me-downs to Joshua and Joel. They were thrilled and proceeded to give us a slightly humorous fashion show. I’m so glad I grabbed my camera! For all of you who have lifted Joel up in prayer, as he battled brain cancer, here he [...]

We made it to and from the hospital in one piece! I left early so I could take my time and get there in plenty of time I was just about to get on the highway when I caught a glimpse of Joel in the rearview mirror. “Joel where are your glasses?” “I thought you [...]
Joel seems to be dominating my blog lately, truly I do have other children and I do spend time with them too. Joel is a bright little guy. He has an excellent sense of humour and keeps us laughing. He is not unintelligent, but his brain has been effected by his surgery and possible by [...]
We are finally home after along day, and it was a good day. I am currently going through a bout of insomnia and if anyone has tried and true remedies I’d love to hear about them I have struggled on and off with it for the last 20 years. Last night was one of my [...]
Of late I have been wrestling with my emotions. It seems to be an on again off again pastime of mine. We all have our ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ as we journey through life. In this wrestling match if I was at the edge of a ‘down’ I might just topple over, and if I was [...]
Don’t we as Momma’s always try to be the best Momma we can and sometimes find we are comparing ourselves to other Mom’s. I am trying to feed my children healthy food, adding in organics where I can. Making things from scratch… I don’t grind my own grains but want to… Well I did something [...]
Not wanting to drive you all nuts with two days of, “I remember” I will drop it for part 2. Joel woke at about 5:30 and he spoke to me which was a big deal as he had gone non-verbal the day before. He was so chatty we talked about the birds that flew by the [...]
Today is a day that carries with it a torrent of memories. I remember dropping off 4 of my children at my parents’ house. I remember listening to some health show on the radio where 2 chiropractors talked about how a mis- alignment could cause headaches. I remember pulling up to the house to pick up Dave [...]
Dave is at work tonight and I have Joel and Samuel sleeping in my bed. Samuel who just turned one about 2 weeks ago is fighting a stomach bug he has lost his appetite and is not keeping anything down. Joel’s stomach is fine but his emotions are struggling. I had agreed to fill out [...]
