First Week of School
The night before Chris asked me if I was going to wake him up with a photo flash! I said, “no.” That was how I woke them up last year! But this year, well, no pictures on the first day of school. They’re in 6th and 8th grade, and quite grown up. In fact, Chris…
Noodleboro: A Great New Way to Learn and Have FUN!
I’m always on the look out for great, educational games. I used to be a Discovery Toys consultant, just so I could get the toys and I use them often for fun and homeschooling. Then I found Simply Fun, another great game company, more fun then education. But I’d never heard of Noodleboro until I…
Back to school means…
Back to work for me and my three kiddos. We enjoy a short summer break-well, my kids do. I’m usually editing and rewriting. Then I spend one month writing out lesson plans. So maybe back to school just means adding more work. 😉 But it also means thinking about goals. The school goals I have for…
Life, Interrupted
Gina’s got a great name for her website, “Writer…Interrupted.” I can identify with those two words, as I’m sure that every writer and blogger can, too. JUST when you are about to discover the PERFECT phrase to capture the essence of your work-in-progress, someone yells, “Mommmmmyy! I have to go potty!” and the inspiration evaporates…
Dear God, What’s Going on Here!
Are you sure you’ve got your timing write? Not off by a year or two, are you? I thought you wanted me to homeschool this year, well come to think of it, did I even ask you? Probably not, I just thought, no, felt in my heart, it was the right thing to do. I…

Freedom
Earlier this month we celebrated the birth of our nation. The fourth of July took on an extra special meaning this year as we’ve studied early American history for homeschool and spent a week in Washington DC. Often the subject of freedom weaved its way into our reading and conversations. And into our hearts. My father and grandfather…
