The 2018-19 school year is already upon us. How on earth did it happen so fast? Last year’s homeschool evaluation forms have been emailed to the powers that be, and we’ve spent lots of brainpower contemplating how the year ahead will go. Until now, I’ve homeschooled the girls while Michael (5, little bro) got some…
Happy fourth of July! Just popping in to say hello! We’ve been plenty busy this Summer so far, but I’ve picked a back to school date, two weeks after the local kids go back and just in time to celebrate Maria Montessori’s birthday. Look for us celebrating “back to homeschool” the last week of…
Very pleased to announce the newest member of our family, William Benedict, born May 25th. Affectionately known as hiccup. Mom and baby are doing well and his big siblings and Dad are in love. Taking a homeschooling break while we rest, recoup and focus on family, but hopefully we are back to our weekly updates…
I’ve got a little, cautionary story for you. A couple of years back, my daughter’s occupational therapist witnessed my pen grip and about keeled over. Apparently I’ve been writing incorrectly for a very long time. “Doesn’t that hurt your hand?” she asked. “Well no,” I replied. “Doesn’t your hand get tired?” “Not that I’ve ever…
We played with such a cool game this week: Laser Maze Jr. This single-player game was actually enjoyed by both my five and seven-year-olds collaboratively; the goal is to solve a light maze by guiding a laser light beam around rocks, through a splitter or bounced off of mirrors to light up a rocket ship…
This is a product review of the game Little Red Riding Hood offered by Timberdoodle. We love Timberdoodle and rave about them so much that sometimes we get products for cheap or free to review. All opinions are my own. Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf are off to Grandma’s house each…
Where to even begin with this busy week? Goodbye April –> Hello May! April 29th – May 5th On Sunday both our girls made their first holy communions. *swoon* Misc Fun: Yesterday, we took a beach trip and had a visit with good friends in Pensacola. There was a Crawfish Festival going on, and we spent…
This is a product review of the MiniLuk offered by Timberdoodle. We love Timberdoodle and rave about them so much that sometimes we get products for cheap or free to review. All opinions are my own — and this one is one worth checking out if you’ve not seen the MiniLuk before. We spend a…
Alright, alright, alright… let’s get right down to business. In exciting family news, the girls make their first holy communion tomorrow, the kids’ violin recital is in a week, my sister got ENGAGED today (I hope I’m allowed to proclaim that Megs because we are EXCITED), and as always we continue truckin’ along with school….
I vlogged my latest review for Timberdoodle: Itty Bitty Phonics Readers. Cute as a button with their own carrying case. Though we love these adorable phonics readers, they are being discontinued to make room for some new products. The folks at Timberdoodle love them too, but there’s just no room for everything they want to…
