One of the things we’ve enjoyed most about heading “back to school” is all the extras available for Haylee to participate in. She is a social girl, for sure, and we just didn’t get to do much of the fun social stuff while we were homeschooling. Now she gets Art Class, Computer Class, Library Time,…
Our eldest offspring decreed that her birthday party theme be none other than all things STARS, and I quickly found that google loved to show me all things star WARS or ROCK star, but scarcely a simple STAR PARTY could be found. And by that, I mean, free, cheap ideas or printables! :) I did…
We have left the land of princess parties behind, wah! Our great big, too-grown-up girl decided that she wanted to have a Star Party… with the colors Blue, Green, & Gold! Uh, not exactly what I would have guessed by any means, but it’s her party and she can pick the theme {or cry} if…
Today our big, grown up Haylee girl turns NINE! I look back at these cutie pie pictures of her and CANNOT believe time has flown by so fast. She is knocking on the door of tween-dom and I am so very, very skeered. Like I’ve said before… 4th grade is the beginning of the end. …
It’s that time of year again. That time when, oh my, the Christmas CRAFTS take over! It is craziness what amazing Christmas Crafty awesomeness is out there being created. And with the popularity of Pinterest, now we are SEEING all that mind boggling amount of simply marvelous Christmas craftiness. How do these people do it??…
{image via} I learned how to type when I was 16. In typing class. I think it was even on an actual TYPEWRITER not a computer! We are living in a DIFFERENT world now. As a computer teacher I started working with the cutie pie KINDERGARTENERS getting them used to typing on the keyboards. Granted…
While we did get all our BJU Press subjects in our huge Distance Learning bundle, I am just not a fan of Bob Jones Spelling. It is a commonly known fact that Bob Jones Spelling is pretty easy, and Abeka Spelling can be fairly hard. It is shocking to me the great difference between the…
{via} Monday was the FIRST DAY of our SECOND YEAR of this adventure called Homeschooling. This year I am not waddling around about to POP with Davis’s arrival looming on the horizon. :) In honor of our great FIRST DAY fun, here’s a LOOK BACK at this day in history… And this…
{As I was reminiscing reading through ancient posts on my old myspace blog, I decided that I needed to repost some here since they are things I just don’t want to forget.}If you thought last week’s was bad, THIS week’s is REALLY and EXTREMELY sad.

{via} You’re not supposed to be jealous. I know. But there should be a special support group for those of us that are schooling in small spaces. The blasted homeschooling stuff just really seems to MULTIPLY upon itself. Stuff EVERYWHERE makes me start to twitch, you know. That’s when I start finding “great places” to…
