You know those days. We all have them. You struggle to get phonics done. You struggle through math. You’re moving about the speed of a slug stuck on something sticky, and the kids aren’t moving at all. They keep falling out of their chairs. They keep whining.
And at some point, you decide to chuck it. [...]

Our garden is getting underway, that is, our garden area is being prepared!
Yesterday we were outside, doing a spring yard clean-up. We raked and swept and gathered up all the leaves and fallen limbs to put into our compost pile. There are still a few places that need attention, but it looks much better.
The girls [...]

I love the internet! Can I just say that? I have talked with so many “old-school” homeschoolers that started out with textbooks and packaged curriculum, because that is all there was for them back then. With the emergence of the internet, wireless communication, and those nice Terrabyte external hard drives, we have instant access to [...]

In Crochet:
Went to Hobby Lobby and didn’t buy any yarn! I have so much stash going on in my closet, I decided to buy a couple patterns to work on a few stash-busting projects. My first few will be more coasters/doilies. Then, I will work my way through a pair of socks! Yes, I will [...]

We went book hunting today. Our excursion took us to Aggieville right in the heart of KState Wildcat territory, to a place called The Dusty Bookshelf. Amazing! It didn’t have the specific book I was looking for, but I did get $10 store credit for bringing in Junie B. Jones books. I also found Phonics [...]

White Stallion of Lipizza by Marguerite Henry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars Beautiful, informative, great illustrations. This was truly a book for the whole family. Hans works in the family bakery, but his dream is to work with the Famous Lipizzaner Horses that he sees each Sunday as they march to their performance. Will Hans have to let go of his dream, or can determination get him what he wants? Great as a history, geography, and science lesson if you study further about Austria, the Lipizzaner Horses, Horse Training and Anatomy, and WW2 and General Paton's part in saving the Lipizzaners.
