Homeschool Christmas Program 2014

One of the things I love about homeschooling is getting to send them to school once a week.  Ha!  I really do look forward to their one day a week “school.”  This is our (gasp) seventh year to have our kids attend.  I love that they get to be a part of classes like music,… [continue reading]

The Trouble with Homeschooling

As a result of a difficult year we are still plowing through our school work that ideally would have been done in May.  It’s so hot outside though that the kids don’t want to go outside and play anyway.  While we do try to get out and do some fun things, we’re normally working hard… [continue reading]

I am THAT mom

Sometimes I think I exist so that everyone else can feel better about themselves!  Feeling down about parenting, homeschooling?  Listen to me!  You’ll feel better, guaranteed!  Ha!  Last week I took my daughter to our Classical Conversations Community.  There was buzz and excitement.  I couldn’t figure out what it was all about.  “What’s going on?”… [continue reading]

Goal Setting and Getting Back on Track

It has been a tough year and now I find myself very far behind when it came to most things around the home.  Thinking back I realized that six out of the last 12 months I was pregnant.  Twice I had a miscarriage at twelve weeks.  Also in the last 12 months my husband has… [continue reading]

Snow and Ice

I have a feeling most of you in other parts of the US are not going to sympathize with me this time, but I will blunder through my tale anyway.  One of my favorite things about living in Texas is the winters.  Normally we’ll have a few cold days each winter and if we’re lucky… [continue reading]

Nash Farm Tour Grapevine, Texas

For the last eight years I have wanted to see Nash Farm!  My husband used to play softball in Grapevine and we would drive by Nash Farm each time.  So when our Classical Conversations Community organized a homeschool field trip, I jumped at the chance to take the kids.  See all those coats.  It was… [continue reading]

Classical Conversations

This is our fourth year to use Classical Conversations as a part of our homeschooling curriculum.  The first year we began in a community where I also tutored.  For many reasons, but mostly because we had Bobby, we decided to continue our Classical Conversations Curriculum at home.  This year with Bobby almost two and a… [continue reading]

Awesome Homeschooling Mom

Here’s the latest episode in “You know you’re an awesome homeschooling mom when…”  We are back in a Classical Conversations Community this year.  I am not tutoring and having so much fun watching other moms and dads help me in educating my children.  All of my kids’ tutors are fantastic! I thought it was really… [continue reading]

Super Reader Pizza Party

The last several years we have enjoyed visiting a nearby Baptist church’s summer reading club.  Once a week the kids enjoy being read to, a short video, activity, craft, and snack.  My kids look forward to the club each week through the summer. My boys especially enjoyed playing with the parachute after sitting still for… [continue reading]
