We managed to keep plugging along with our lessons through today! I am somewhat amazed, but I was determined to not quit too early because I do not know how long this break will last. My baby is due 12/31. I am pretty sure that he will come before then, but now am wondering if…
The Week at Home
Yes, I’ve been complaining about how busy I have been. I am happy to report that Cross Country is finished! As a result, I have stayed home completely 2 days this week! What a blessing it has been. I feel almost back to normal, whatever that might be for a 30-week pregnant, almost 40 year…
The 2 Week Summary
This wrap-up will have to cover 2 weeks or more. I’m not sure how long it’s been since I’ve posted. Our core subjects are moving along well for both of my older children. My son is not particularly fond of all the practice in Analytical Grammar, but we’ve only got 3 more weeks to go.…
Weekly Report – The Good Week
Hopefully this will be a title that I want to use frequently! But after a very rough start on Monday, this turned out to be a great week of school for us. Monday was rough because my oldest woke up with conjunctivitis which sent us to the eye doctor in the morning, followed by 4H,…

A Good Day
It’s been busy as usual around here. Yesterday I hardly had time to breathe and didn’t get a chance to even do any school with my younger son. Not that he minded 🙂 We had a 4H meeting, a Cross Country meet, and violin lessons in the afternoon. To top off the already busy day,…
Overwhelmed
OK, I know it is ridiculous to be so tired so early into the school year, but this week really wore me out! Part of it is because I think I may have overscheduled myself. (OK, I know I have.) You remember that old commercial where the guy is at his desk saying, “I can…
The Beginning
I am happy to report that we made it through our first week back to school. Overall it was a very productive week. We managed to do Latin, Greek, English, and Math everyday. My younger 2 kids are very happy with Song School Latin. I thought it would be a hit, and I was right!…
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,…
Our Most Influential Homeschooling Book
When I saw that this week The Homeschool Village was asking “What book has encouraged/supported you in your homeschooling adventure??”, the book that immediately came to mind was The Well-Trained Mind.(Yes, I see the pun and decided to keep it.) When I first started researching homeschooling, I found a curriculum that I fell in love…
