Just when I think I really have something concrete all laid out for this little home school, I find some new amazing resource that I think is simply marvelous! I am really enamored with Charlotte Mason at the moment. I am deep into Karen Andreola’s book “A Charlotte Mason Companion” and I have [...]

We headed down to SS today to catch a $1 movie and play in the fountain at the town center. The kids really enjoyed the movie “Everyone’s Hero” and I enjoyed the fact that I was free and their popcorn and sodas were also only $1. Sweet!
We went with our friends Elizabeth, Isy & Tomas [...]

Aside from poker playing, the kids did do a little “school” yesterday. Cole did some math review and I introduced him to D’Nealian handwriting. His handwriting is atrocious so he needs a lot of work on it. But he is eager to learn cursive so I thought I would kill two birds with one stone [...]

In an effort to be more organized, I have created a dinner menu for the next two weeks. We get paid bi-weekly and so I do the bulk of my grocery shopping on paydays. I have dinner planned from yesterday, until June 27th. Sweet! I have decided that for our Friday [...]

With public school that is. Cole finished his very last day at RCV yesterday, and we all heaved a collective sigh of relief. He is so worn out and frazzled, my poor boy. If it hadn’t been the last two weeks of school I would have just pulled him out right away, [...]

I had such a great time with the girls yesterday at Mommy & Me and I am just kicking myself in the butt for not bringing my camera! They made such cute little crafts and they were both dressed in these adorable yellow dresses. I had many photo ops that were lost. [...]
