I was amazed when I read the passage below. Homeschooling is such a journey. I hear so much, how do you do it? I could never homeschool, I don't have the patience, or even I would probably kill my child if I was with him all day. Well, I struggle with all of that. Let's … Continue reading My Faith and Planning our Homeschool Year

Music soothes my soul.
Right now I am totally crushing on my Marvin Gaye Pandora station. Yes, I pay for Pandora. I have 5322 songs on my iTunes, and I pay for Pandora. I listen to Pandora everyday. You know what?

A wasted day or a worth it day?
It's 11:00 am, our homeschooling day has not yet begun. Why? Husband can't find my tripod.

And what about mad cow?

If I don't know that its organic or grain fed, I'm not eating it, and neither is my son. Not to sound callous, but … Continue reading And what about mad cow?

Rainy day balance game
So, I got this idea from a post I saw on pinterest about making a spiderweb puzzle to walk and challenge your kids, and as a plus I knew it would help sensory issues, like sensory processing disorder and sensory integration disorder. For any kid it was perfect for our gloomy and damp midwest fall. … Continue reading Rainy day balance game
