Two weeks ago today, I arrived home from our local homeschool conference and returned a missed phone call from my sister. She informed me she was a day’s drive down the road headed to my house from Nevada. I hadn’t seen her in three and a half years. So for nearly two weeks now, Alex […]
Ha! I managed to get a photo of Sterling with his creation with his new wood burner. We spent the majority of the day at the zoo, seeing, for the first time in a very long time, perhaps ever, every single zoo creature. It was fun. And I’m exhausted. And now a poll: how on […]
Sterling turns eight and other pieces of our day.
Sterling turned eight years old today. It is hard to believe and strange all at the same time. My dear boy is growing up. We got him a wood burner. A handheld tool to burn a pattern into wood, he had a fabulous time with it all afternoon. I’ll try to get a photo of […]
Friday’s Photos 5/22/15
It’s been a week. Apparently little was funny. All I found on my phone was Maisie dreaming of the meals she’d have from the new bag of dog food I just bought. We’re in the middle of insurance adjustors and craziness. Blaine’s van is headed for the junk yard this weekend, but his truck is […]
Drama
Saturday in the night, the tornado sirens went off signaling a tornado warning. We gathered all the kids and headed to the basement. We all huddled in the dirt basement, listening to the thunder, wind, and rain around the house. There was a loud gust of wind and lots of noise, and then all was […]
TOS Review: FishFlix.com
When the Review Crew was offered the opportunity to review several different DVD titles from FishFlix.com, choosing which DVD I preferred to review was the hardest part. I settled on asking for Privileged Species: How the Cosmos Is Designed for Human Life, a 33 minute documentary that discusses the evidence of Intelligent Design. I watched this DVD […]
TOS Review: Homeschool Legacy
About a month ago, I received for review with the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew a 4-week once-a-week-unit study Horsing Around from Homeschool Legacy for grades 2-12. My almost-12 year old daughter Liberty worked on this review. She loves horses but knows little and has even less hands-on experience. A PDF download with 34 pages, Liberty worked through […]
Ambidextrous and One Unimpressive New Chair
These pictures make me happy. No, not the ice cream Ellie swiped that earned her a bath. It’s not even the progress Ellie is making with her tableware skills. It’s the fact that she has her spoon in her right hand. And then, she has it in her left hand. Yes, folks, seven kids in, […]
TOS Review: WordsBright
The Review Crew has had the opportunity to review the book S is for Smiling Sunrise from WordsBright. This is a hardcover children’s picture book with about thirty pages. A free MP3 file with a 6 minute song singing the words of the book is on their website. Also available is a free Teacher’s Guide for ages […]
Friday’s Photos – 5/8/15
After nearly a week without internet due to a dead modem that could only be righted by waiting a week for a new one and then waiting another day for a tech to fix everything else that apparently blew up all on the same day, I’ve realized a few things. 1. I use the internet […]
