Isn’t it amazing what kids can memorize so easily? Last week Haylee learned the Lord’s Prayer in Bible class. I was SHOCKED when it wasn’t even the full week before she had that thing down! As you may have noticed, she recently lost her TWO FRONT TEETH! She actually lost them within about a week…

Some App Love
Aren’t apps fun? I thought I would share some new educational iPhone {or iPad & iTouch} apps that I ran across. Stack the States. I love how cute the little states are! You answer trivia questions about the states and then try to stack them as high as you can! This was voted Best Kids…
Back to School…
We enjoyed our Christmas Break, but have gotten back to work and gotten busy! Handwriting seems to be going better {or maybe I am just chilling out about it} and we are learning more and more cursive letters. The letter “p” was pretty difficult. So we had to show off the hard work. :) Doesn’t…
A bit of SNOW!
Haylee and I made ourselves a bit of snow this year… I’m sure I have made paper snowflakes before… maybe as a kid perhaps, but I don’t remember the last time I did. Soooo, I was a bit rusty on the how to aspect as maybe you are too. I watched this video from…
What we’ve been up to…
We’ve been trucking it along with our homeschooling and now have 12 weeks under our belts! I am loving our Bible curriculum and all the good ideas it gives me. One we did recently was making an ark of the covenant out of a tissue box. We had just finished studying the 10 Commandments…
So much for Planning!
Well, if you haven’t already figured it out, my "planning" to deliver last Sunday didn’t exactly work. Okay, I guess it didn’t work at all. Labor and delivery is kind of an "all or nothing" deal, isn’t it? My new "plan" is to try not to plan. Except maybe planning to go on or past…
Looking back… First Day Shots
I’ve seen this idea a few different places and decided to pull out the old First Day pics and reminisce myself. Because I’m preggo and hormonal and need to create ways to become emotional, you know. For some reason, we always do the first day pic in front of the front door, which helps you …
Nifty Free Timeline
The Classical Style of homeschooling is big on using timelines, which I first heard about at a Teacher’s Conference last Spring. The idea is to create a Comprehensive timeline that each student keeps from K all the way through high school. Making notes on whatever points in History are being learned about… regardless of whether…
A Day in the Life… and what a life it is!
This is the last week of the Blog hop at Heart of the Matter. This week’s theme is “A Day in the Life!” This is an interesting theme for sure since one the hallmarks of homeschooling seems to be the opportunity for flexibility. Flexibility does not mean slacking. Flexibility is not a dirty word! In…
Our First Fun Friday!
Don’t you like the sound of that? What kid wouldn’t like the sound of a FUN Friday? Well, it’s not going to be all fun and games, but my goal is to do a less structured day on Fridays minus the weekly tests and the math lesson…. I know, that doesn’t sound all that fun…
