Our week alone is nearly over, and, thankfully, it’s been a quiet one. Some of his trips have have left me with far more interesting stories to tell. Backed up septic, green wood that wouldn’t heat the house above 50°, and a chimney fire top the list. Twice I discovered I was pregnant while he […]
TOS Review: Apologia Educational Ministries
When the opportunity to review a writing curriculum from Apologia Educational Ministries came up, I jumped at it. Having watched Liberty take a different writing class this school year through our co-op, and seeing how much she improved, I was anxious to see what Apologia Educational Ministries has to offer in homeschool writing curriculum. Eden, age […]
Privilege
Blaine left today for a weeklong trip for work. Today I folded laundry. For hours. Something nearing 12 loads of laundry were already washed, dried, and waiting when my day began. I was only backed up on folding for a few days and that’s where I ended up. Throw in a few more loads that […]
Perspective.
We made it home. Those are four beautiful words up there. We ended up leaving Michigan Sunday evening and drove all night. We got back home to Missouri at 4:00 am Monday. Traveling overnight is miserable for drivers, and driving rain made it all the more fun, but with far fewer stops and no vomit, […]
TOS Review: Talking Fingers Inc.
The Review Crew was offered the opportunity to review Read, Write & Type from Talking Fingers Inc., an online program teaching phonics, typing, spelling, and reading. I used this with Charlotte, age five and a half and in Kindergarten. She worked on this as part of our homeschool day for as long as she wanted – usually […]
TOS Review: Homeschool Copywork
The Review Crew from Old Schoolhouse Magazine was given a chance to review a Lifetime Membership to the Homeschool Copywork website, and I was blessed to be one of the reviewers. I received full access to a plethora of pages that I could print for my children to work on. In Charlotte Mason style, the […]
Stellan and Liberty
Trying something different. I’m going to attempt to embed a video in here. If I’m successful… thoughts? I know this is just a cute short one, but try more videos or should I stick to the written word?
Michigan, meet the Crazies.
Blaine’s grandmother passed away this week. We’re in Michigan for the funeral, after 650 miles of craziness traveling with eight children. I have no idea how many times we stopped for bathroom breaks. Ellie got car sick and threw up everywhere, and Stellan went into paper diapers for the trip, and more major blow out […]
Stellan had his tongue tie corrected Wednesday. It was sad but fast, and after a day of fussiness (So incredibly uncommon for him… or not.) he is happy and has found nursing to be his new favorite pastime. He stuck his tongue out at me too. It’s the first time he could! Here’s to hoping […]
Happy Easter!
We celebrated Stellan’s baptism today, as well as Easter. Fun day!
