The photo below features an actual text from my sister. She’s hilarious, and though I love Chopped too, no truer words have ever been spoken about the show. And of course the Weekly Wrap Up: Recipe Monday: From-Scratch Brownies Homeschool Tuesday: Our First Day of Second Grade Wednesday: Why Breaking is Okay… Thurday: Homeschooling … Continue reading
I’ve discussed, at length, my Type A personality. I like schedules. I like plans. I LOVE it when things are predictable and orderly. Thing is: preschoolers do not care about personality types and Mommy’s personal preferences. What’s more? Being super structured isn’t necessarily good for the average two year old. Their job right now is … Continue reading
Cub spent almost a solid hour working on letters by his own choice and I introduced numbers 1-5. We also discovered that Josiah can… But proofreading is a bit tricky. Focus goes downhill as the day goes on–even with breaks. And Dad is a distraction. Unfortunately, my husband is now working second shift. So, I’m … Continue reading
I am so excited about today’s post. CurrClick.com is offering FREE downloads and printables! I’ll be the first to admit that most of the time, “freebies” are a huge disappointment because they are one-page things that you can get from the local dollar store workbooks. Not CurrClick. They know how to do this right. Here’s just … Continue reading
This week has been full of ups (like hubby finding a temp job after nearly 2 straight months of unemployment) and downs (the hell that is dealing with the government). Regardless, we made it. With the generous help of family, we actually made it! Below are links to the posts featured this week. Check them … Continue reading
One of the many things I feel bad about as a mom is that…I hate art projects. I always feel obligated to keep them, but the truth is that they are messy and oddly sized and rarely sentimental. Well, I’ve found a few projects that are worth keeping! These projects show off the size of … Continue reading
This week has been eventful. Just 4 days into a great temp job, my husband (and Cub) got the flu. This unfortunately led to Husband being replaced and us being without income again. After a lot of heart-ache and talk, we decided that it was time for me to start applying for part-time and/or temporary … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I posted any ideas for Preschool at home. Sorry about that. Here’s the latest one we love, love, love. Have you seen the store-bought dry-erase letter books? They are pretty, but can be expensive. The ones that aren’t expensive are either too small or poorly made and hard to erase. … Continue reading
The last time I was at my sister’s house, I taught my awesome nephew to flip! I was so happy to hear that he loves it, and my sister suggest putting the step up here for you guys. Side Note: A little bit of bragging here–J took ALL of the pictures for us! We only … Continue reading
I realize I’ve posted a lot about art lessons lately, so I thought I’d compile things into a simple-to-use lesson plan that you guys could easily adapt and use. This is a HUGE post, but I wanted to show how activities between two age groups can work together to create a cohesive lesson plan. Bonus: All of … Continue reading
