Sorry about Sunday Snapshot y’all. I forgot. Seriously, I woke up Sunday morning and realized I had nary a picture. And as the day went on I found I didn’t even want to take a picture. We went to church. We ate. We played. And I left my camera on the shelf. So I skipped it. *gasp* Honestly, it felt… Read More
I’ve had to think about curriculum for 2013-14 extra early this year. Probably not early for most homeschool mamas, but I’m usually just getting packages into fall… in fact, just as the new school year begins. But Dalton began homeschooling when we moved here. At the tail end of the year. And, since he was just 6 weeks away from… Read More
Since the move, the attendance at our little homeschool has doubled. Welcome to our newest student, Dalton. I’d been worried that adding Dalton to the mix would double (or even worse) the homeschooling chaos around here. Asher and I both share a bit of a laissez faire mentality and occasionally frequently lack of organization and chaos can rule. And Dalton… Read More
I’ve been asked often in the last week, “How is homeschool going?” My response? It’s going. Actually, it’s going a lot better than I’d anticipated. I think it’s even going better than Asher had anticipated. Because after last year, and the fact we hobbled and limped, broken and bruised across the finish line of 6th grade some time late this… Read More
Less than a week until school starts. Shepherd is going into kindergarten. Jude is going into 1st grade. Isabelle into 2nd. Sophie into 3rd. Dalton into 5th. And Asher into 7th. At home. Yes, I’ll be starting a second year of homeschooling Asher. A statement, just a few years ago, I thought I’d never, ever make. We’re not continuing to… Read More
You might say, we’re a bit of a gaming crew. We don’t do it all the time, but some of us would if some of us could. And we limit our under-10 set to when we are desperate for some p and q the occasional evening and weekends. Today my friend TM was sharing her Squirt’s most favorite apps and… Read More
Monday morning. After getting up at 5:30, this is what Asher – and his trusty homeschooling sidekick, Seamus – looked like 2 hours later. Good thing he has a teacher that can appreciate the value of a nap.
Some of y’all have asked how the homeschooling-thing is going. And, since I’ve got a whole three whole months under my belt, I thought I’d give a quick update. The truth is, it’s going great. Really great. I am honestly surprised at how much Asher is enjoying homeschooling. But even more, I am surprised how much I am enjoying homeschooling…. Read More
We’ve got two weeks of homeschooling under our belt. And, at y’alls suggestion, we’ve been taking it really easy to start. Which Asher has found quite refreshing, I think. He has run into one little downside to this homeschooling thing, though. Seems that even when you’re feeling under the weather… you can still do your work. The upside is that… Read More
Meet Isabelle’s newest friend. Reading Eggs. She spent the day at home yesterday due to a short-lived upset tummy – as in, she threw up on the bus on the way to school. So sorry, Ms. Fran. I owe you a big batch of brownies. By late morning we’d gone through all the Bob Books we could find. And several… Read More
