A good closet cleanout always produces a pile of castoffs. A pile of castoffs requires a bit of creativity. Creativity creates a good project. One project requires another. And another. And another. And another. And pretty soon, that pile of castoffs, combined with raiding Grandma’s for unworn T-shirts, and you find yourself with four little […]
Dial Kids: Review and Giveaway
Dial sent me a bottle of Dial Kids Body + Hair wash to try out. Meant for children ages 2-5 (I have a few in that range!) it’s peachy scent and tear free qualities have my kids lined up and smelling clean. It’s artificial dye free without any added parabens. The tear free aspect had […]
There. Fixed.
I posted this on my Facebook page last Thursday: Sterling sat at the supper table tonight with his glasses on the table beside him, squinting at the sun in his eyes. Ruby told him to put his glasses back on – maybe they’ll work like sunglasses. His reply: "No, Ruby. Those make me see BETTER. […]
I am dumber than I thought.
My dad called last week and said he had a blog topic for me. He suggested I search for an 8th grade test from the 1800’s and see if I could pass it. I think he was just trying to humble me. I found a test here and the answers here. While the English section […]
I can’t seem to get anything done around here.
This morning as I finished up in the bathroom after my shower, I noticed the bathroom sink and mirror needed attention. I set out to get the rag to clean the mirror. I got sidetracked. The rag hangs on the side of the fridge. The fridge is next to the laundry room. I started a […]
TOS Review Crew: Math U See
As part of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I received the Delta books from Math U See as well as the DVD that teaches the lessons, and manipulative blocks. Eden jumped in, thoroughly frustrated with her math this year. I was reservedly hopeful this would be a better fit – that she would enjoy math and […]
Dear Daddy,
You’re being watched, imitated, copied, and admired. Playing “house” was just taken to a whole new level. Now he has a badge to wear to work. Just like Daddy. (Oh, except he doesn’t take photos at work. He builds houses. With Legos.)
TOS Review Crew: Adventus Piano Software
About a month ago, I was selected as part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew to review the Adventus piano software. Adventus has MusicIQ, software specifically designed for the homeschooler, from ages 4-18. I received their software download Children’s Music Journey. I received Volume 1, 2, and 3 to review. For ages 4-10, at first […]
Resourceful boy.
Pierce found the bottle of ibuprofen and was determined to get it open. I watched from a corner as he got a stool, dug out the wine bottle opener from the kitchen drawer, and went to work. Darn child proof caps.
Where’s all the excitement?
Life seems kind of boring lately. We’re working on wrapping up our school year – Liberty gets a prize for finishing the first subject with her math this week – and nothing else much is going on. Blogs are hard to write when there isn’t something going on. It hit me. This has been the […]
