Adrianna recently watched the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland so now she often pretends to be Alice. I even had to call her Alice during our school day yesterday. (It is a nice break from having to call her Princess Peach all the time.) She has a blue dress (from my childhood) that she […]

Third Day of Kindergarten
So today was Adrianna’s third day of kindergarten and second day of being taught at home. One thing I already love about homeschooling is my chance to see first-hand just how much Adrianna already knows and also what we will need to work on. For instance, I found a great worksheet online where she had […]
First Day of Kindergarten (and Homeschooling)
Wow, August has been a busy month for us. The girls and I took a week long trip to Indiana for a family reunion, we had visits from Aunt Kristi, Grammy and Grampy, I had a MOPS Steering retreat to attend, and I got to go wedding dress shopping with Cindy, Karen and my mom […]
Homeschool Curriculum
I LOVE books, so I was thrilled that Adrianna’s curriculum includes a lot of books for us to read together and/or for her to read. We both cannot wait to get started. This is just her history/reading classes. We also have some math books and math manipulatives to play with. I also went to the […]
Charter School
I just received a call from our first choice school. Adrianna actually made it in even though there had been sixty something people ahead of us only a few months ago. And of course, I just ordered our homeschool curriculum! I declined putting her in the school this year anyways. When it comes down to […]
Curriculum Ordered!
I finally got around to ordering our homeschool curriculum today. Now I can’t wait for it to get here! Also attended “Back to School” night at the Coop Adrianna will be attending one day a week to meet her teacher, Miss Jaime, there. I am excited for school to start! I decided to try out […]
A Lesson in the Rain
Adrianna is to the age where she can open her own car door and buckle her own seat belt when she wants to. The key words in that sentence being “when she wants to.” Last night, after a nice meal at Quiznos and dessert from Cold Stone, we were walking to our car in some […]
Gearing up to Homeschool
I mentioned back in May that we were considering homeschooling Adrianna for Kindergarten and our initial reasons why we had come to this decision. And then I haven’t talked about school since. So I suppose I should post to say that we are now 99% sure that homeschooling is what we will be doing for […]
Nothing
Adrianna: Mommy, how do you spell nothing? Amber: N-O-T-H-I-N-G Adrianna: No, I mean how do you spell nothing! After a moment of confusion on my part, it turns out she didn’t want me to spell the actual word ‘nothing’ but wanted to know how something that wasn’t there (i.e. nothing) would be spelled. Hmmm, not […]
Random Photos From Last Week
Last week, our calendar was pretty uneventful. Lots of nice time spent at home or running errands. (This week, however, has been a different story! Busy, busy, busy…) Bree hanging out in her exersaucer. Enjoying her oatmeal. Adrianna painting her birdhouse. Lots of love for Chloe. And lots of love for Molly. Bree often resists […]
