How We Are Spending Our Summer

Summer has been a much needed and anticipated break from school work.  Oh to wake up and not have to make the kids get started on their math has been so refreshing.  I do, however, keep them reading.  We have joined three different library reading clubs as well as the clubs from retail bookstores.  They . . . → Read More: How We Are Spending Our Summer

Funny Kids Quotes #17

I’ve been talking to Jason Jr. about the baby.  Last night he was more curious than usual.  I told him the baby was growing in my belly and wouldn’t come out for a long time.  He wanted to keep talking about it, but I told  him to go bed.

Our Belated Easter Dinner

Last week I finally got around to making our traditional Easter meal.  Since so many of us were sick Easter weekend, it didn’t get done.  The kids were so upset, I promised that I’d make it on another night.  They have been reminding me often!

Classical Conversations Community Review

Last year as a part of our homeschooling, we used the Classical Conversations curriculum and attended a weekly community, where I also tutored.  This curriculum has taken off, and it seems as if  everyone in homeschooling circles is talking about it.  We have chosen not to attend the community next year, so people want to . . . → Read More: Classical Conversations Community Review

The Dreaded Checkout Line

I took my youngest two to Wal-Mart one morning to get some grocery shopping done while my older two were somewhere else.  I woke up feeling a bit off, like I didn’t get enough sleep or something, so I was trying to rush through the store.  I’m not sure what I ended up with, but . . . → Read More: The Dreaded Checkout Line
