I got my box with my Tapestry of Grace Year 1 in it last Friday. I am really excited. I love it! I am trying to go easy on it, but boy is it tough! I have only opened Unit 1 so far. I have looked through it trying to decide which books to buy. …
Using Games to Learn
My family loves games. I mean all of us, really love games. If you want to see how much we love games, take a peek into our game cabinet. (It’s not as neat as I would like it to be but…) We have a family game night once a week. (Usually) So why have I…
Tapestry of Grace
We decided several months ago to use Tapestry of Grace Year 1 next year. I am very excited about it. I am going to be involved in a small co-op (5 families) meeting every other week. We’ve never been in a co-op before so it will be a new experience for us. The kids are…
Around the World Night
Last Friday, our local homeschool group sponsored “Around the World Night”. This was the first year we participated. We chose Madagascar for our country. Actually my husband picked it because it was unusual and had interesting animals to study. We used pictures from Enchanted Learning for a Ring-tailed lemur and a chameleon. We found a…

I was so excited Monday morning when I heard a flapping outside my boy’s window. I opened the shade to see… Here is the male bring more nesting material. Home sweet home. Then Monday night. Here is Mama Tuesday. On Wednesday evening, I got a peek in the nest and there are…
Creation Museum
We took our first trip to the Creation Museum on Thursday. We had been looking forward to it since we heard they were building it. It was not a disappointment. The museum was very well done. The exhibits were beautiful. It was wonderful to visit a place that is dedicated to refuting evolution. They presented so…

Heat and Energy Lapbook
We completed our Heat and Energy lapbook last week. This was the first lapbook that really made sense to me. I have liked the idea of lapbooking since I heard of it about a year ago, but most of the ones we have done seemed somewhat awkward to me. I guess I’m not really a…
