What would you change about Mom?

Yep this is what I actually asked my girls.  “Tell me one thing you would change about Mom if you could.”  Constructive criticism is a good thing right?  I put it out there and yet I still cringed inwardly and braced myself for what they would say. I always have them answer littlest to biggest… [continue reading]

Fine Motor Skill Activity Kits from Fundanoodle

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.  One day I checked the site to see the winners’ list.  I scrolled down to The Funniest Blog Award… [continue reading]

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]

How to Prepare for Baby

I am about four weeks away from having this baby and in complete panic mode!  This is not very long, and I am slower and more tired than ever.  I keep making these mental lists of things that need to get done before I go to the hospital, but I’m not making much headway. 1. … [continue reading]

Another First Day of School 2011

My kids attend a one day a week school for homeschooled children.  This is not a co-op, but has a set tuition.  The classes are all hands on with very little to no homework required.  They get to play with the other kids in PE and put on two dramas or musicals for the parents,… [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]

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]
