First day of school
Today was our first day of school for this school year. My kids are a 7th grade boy, a 5th grade girl, a 3rd grade boy, and a PreK girl. I’ve missed out on posting for the last two weeks of the Not Back-to-School Blog Hop, but I decided I couldn’t miss Day-in-the-Life Week, since…
The Jesus You Can’t Ignore
Since my husband has summers off, he has a little more time to read in the summer than he usually does. After I received The Jesus You Can’t Ignore to review, he started reading it before I got a chance to read it myself. Since he was keeping me from reading the book, he agreed…
Amazing Mathematical Card Trick
This is my son’s latest video. It is a card trick that he figured out himself. What I think is even more amazing is that he came to me with the algebraic formulas he had figured out because he wanted to show why it worked! I had to show him how to solve the equations,…
52 Books Update
It has been a while since I’ve updated my reading list as part of the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Challenge. The last update of my reading list was my Spring Reading Fling conclusion. This is week 33 and I have only completed 27 books. You would think that I’d have gotten ahead over the…

Song School Latin Review
I like to use the term “Relaxed Classical” to describe our homeschooling style. It’s a description that you may or may not consider accurate depending on your perspective. A relaxed homeschooler wouldn’t find us very relaxed, but we’re not as disciplined with our memory work as a strict classical educator. However, one classical subject that…
My Staples Deal
Look what all I got at Staples on Saturday. And they’re paying my 90 cents to take it off their hands, lol 🙂 I had a $3.00 coupon from recycling an ink cartridge. The spirals were 15 cents each and the folders were 5 cents each. The paper was $4.99 but we will receive the…
Organizing Roadblocks
A roadblock. I feel like that’s what I’ve been up against. Everywhere I turned, there was something that needed to be organized, but something else needed to be done first. I need to get school planning done, but first I had this huge bin of clothes in my room and another one that was calling…
It’s a Major Award
OK, so it’s not a major award. But I won something great! I enter some giveaways, but I frequently skip them because they are just too much trouble to enter. However, when I saw this giveaway on Homeschool Creations, I couldn’t resist entering. (And doing everything I could to earn more entries.) I am thrilled…
