This post is definitely a little different from the typical here, but I had to share. Thanks to Kimberly @ Raising Olives, I discovered a really neat blog called Girly Do’s By Jenn. We’ve been pretty limited with our girls’ hairstyles in this house. We have the basic ponytail, the partial ponytail and the occasional…
Field Trips
One of the great advantages of homeschooling is the opportunity for field trips. We take many of our field trips when dad can come so they’re not actually during school hours, but they’re our field trips nonetheless.

Sharing e-mail on multiple computers
I’ve had my laptop for a few months now. For the previous 9 years we had only 1 internet connected computer in the house. I had developed a reasonable system of organizing our computer files and e-mails on 1 computer, but the addition of the laptop has been confusing to me. Where should I store…
Student Photo Week
This is week three of the “Not Back-to-School Blog Hop” at My 3 Boybarians. I cheated a little and just linked to some of my past posts for the first two weeks. Week 1 was Curriculum Week and I shared our curriculum for next year here. I shared this post for Week 2 – Schoolroom…
To Do Tuesday
I did much better this week! Here’s last week’s list with everything I did checked off. Now for this week: Complete school planning for new year. I checked this, but it really shouldn’t say for the YEAR. We’ve started school and I have some planning to do as we go along. Organize new bookshelf…

Monthly Menu Planning
For the last year I have been planning my menus a month at a time. For me this has several advantages over weekly meal planning. I really don’t like menu planning, so I had a tendency to skip a week without planning. With monthly planning I don’t have to plan as often. It doesn’t take…
