I had a great day with the girls today. Homeschooling went smoothly (even Adrianna’s reading aloud, due to a candy bribe), Bree slept in (even if it was because she was in bed with me and was due to her being up from 2-3:30 a.m. last night), and I have a MOPS Steering meeting to […]

Homeschooling Week 3
We just completed our third week of homeschooling. (We took a two-week break between weeks 2 and 3 for our California trip.) Adrianna loves playing with her math manipulatives. She often asks to do math, with the hope that the lesson will call for using them. Her favorite thing to do with them though is […]
Week 2 of Homeschooling
Well, we just finished our second week of homeschooling. All but the final day (yesterday) went really well. Yesterday was one of those days where Adrianna just didn’t want to pay attention, so I finally gave up and we’ll make up the remainder of the work another day. I know these days will happen from […]
How to be a Real Teacher
Adrianna just told me that I need to wear a pencil behind my ear so that I “look like a real teacher.” (I think her Junior Kindergarten teacher must’ve often done this?)
First Day of Kindergarten – Scrapbook Layout

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 […]
