I was so happy to receive these kits for my three and five year olds as one of the prizes for winning the Funniest Homeschool Blog Award! My five-year-old Grace has been struggling with her handwriting more than I thought she would. These kits were exactly what I needed. Little Jason is loving getting to… [continue reading]
How to do it all?
Since bringing Bobby home, keeping up with my usual tasks has been a challenge to say the least. I had had a particularly tough day with the kids and was pleading with my husband Jason to help me figure out how I can do everything I am suppose to be doing. I ran through my… [continue reading]
Speekee TV–Easy Spanish for Young Children
In October I was contacted by a fellow blogger who asked if I minded if she nominated me for The Funniest Homeschool Blog Award at the Homeschool Post. I was thrilled! The voting came and went.

What to do on a rainy day
My oldest declared it “Blue Day” and thus was born our theme for the day. I thought it quite appropriate for the chilly rainy weather. We all donned blue clothes and the kids played upstairs with their blue toys. Then it was time to draw a blue picture and I added to the fun by… [continue reading]

A Spontaneous Picnic
It was one of THOSE days. I woke up feeling horrible. Homeschooling was not going well–every item of school work seemed to be a struggle. The youngest two were fighting. We were all in tears off and on all morning. By lunch time I had had it. I didn’t even want to see the inside… [continue reading]
Dolphin Tale Movie
Our family got to go to a screening of the Dolphin Tale movie. I had never seen a movie before it was released in theaters! The kids were ecstatic to again be able to see a movie in a real theater, but I think I was more excited than they were! It was such an… [continue reading]
Back to School Splash Park Party
My kids attend a one day a week school for homeschooled kids at a near by church. Last year we were only able to send my oldest two, but this year they all get to go. There is a Mom’s Day Out that runs the same hours so even my Little Jason will go this… [continue reading]
First Day of School 2011
Traditionally I haven’t started school with the kids until after Labor Day, but this year, with the baby due in December, I think I will need a longer winter break, so I decided to start a couple of weeks early. Besides that, the kids were actually asking me, begging me, to start school. So even… [continue reading]
