I really enjoy seeing samples of what others are using in their workbox system. It was blog posts by other homeschool moms showing how they used their workbox system in their school day that inspired me to want to give it a try. I also am hooked on seeing what curriculum and creative ideas others […]

When Did the Fly Land?
When the spider flew, of course! One of Adrianna’s made-up jokes. This particular one she wrote down and illustrated.
Guessing Games
Adrianna is very into guessing games right now. Countless times every day, I am asked such questions as “Guess who I am drawing” or “Guess which hand my cheese is in” or “Guess which princess is really MagiKoopa dressed up”. So when she asked me who I thought was the subject of her latest drawing, […]

Math and Turkeys
I am still enjoying schooling Adrianna at home. Our current curriculum is very literature based, with lots of reading aloud by me.

Green Eggs and Ham
Listening to Adrianna read “Green Eggs and Ham” to Greg. She’s so excited that she is reading it on her own. (So are we!)
Symphony
We had our first homeschooling field trip this week: a visit to the symphony. It was a special youth concert, so many other school children were there from public schools, charter schools, and private schools, as well as other homeschoolers. This was Adrianna’s first time to see a symphony perform. She excitedly pointed out all […]
Just a Glimpse
This post is just a small snapshot of everyday life here at our house. You can see Adrianna with her active imagination and Bree is simply happy to be near Sissy and play with anything within reach. Fridge magnets and re-usable stickers are a wonderful distraction for little hands when Mom needs to make dinner. […]
Crazy Head, Cutie and Loves Hearts
Last year, we had two pumpkins which Adrianna named Crazy Head and Cutie. This year, there was no question in her mind that those were going to be the names of our new pumpkins as well. We ended up with three pumpkins, so the third was quickly named Loves Hearts. Carving Crazy Head Loves Hearts […]
