The Story of Us isn’t going so well this week. (Our story’s fine. It’s the writing of it that I’m failing on.) While you wait, anxiously to be sure, for me to catch up with life and reviews and the house and the grocery shopping, check out this link. Liberty worked with a curriculum that […]
TOS Review Crew: Science Naturally! MORE One Minute Mysteries
As part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew, I was chosen to review the new book from Science Naturally! called One Minute Mysteries: 65 MORE Short Mysteries You Solve With Science! by Eric Yoder and Natalie Yoder. The second in a series, One Minute Mysteries: 65 MORE Short Mysteries You Solve With Science! is just […]
Graduation.
Today is Sterling’s kindergarten graduation at co-op. I feel like I should be all weepy and sad. But I’m not. He’s the third of mine to finish kindergarten, and the second (Poor Eden!) to have a “graduation” and well, I have a hard time seeing the point of it all. It’ll be cute and he’s […]
Seeing things.
You know the moment when, after spending over an hour up in the middle of the night with a small child, you finally get them tucked in, and you’re walking towards the bedroom? When you know that, while the house is mostly clean, there’s still a good chance of a lego or doll or toy […]
TOS Review: Spanish for You!
Liberty (9) and Eden (8) have been using Spanish for You as part of a review for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. They’ve used it usually 4 days each week for 30 minutes or so. I received downloads of Fiestas for grades 3-4 and all of it’s complementing materials that are part of the Fiestas purchase. […]
The story of us. Part seven.
Read part one here. Read part two here. Read part three here. Read part four here. Read part five here. Read part six here. Within the month, we’d closed on our house and had a big rented truck packed with all of our worldly belongings. We didn’t know exactly where we were headed. Blaine had […]
Potty talk.
I keep a book of Sudoku puzzles in the bathroom. Don’t judge. Where else am I going to be left alone long enough to make sense of them? Sterling apparently also enjoys a moment alone in there – with my book. I’m forever finding, “I love you Mom. Sterling” written in the margins. Lately, he’s […]
Some things you just can’t write on a blog. It’s really strange. My life is often laid out before you, and yet, a lot of it you can’t see. I tell you only what I want you to know. Today, it’s one of those days. Life is really hard right now. Yesterday was one of […]
Tuesday jumble.
You know those weeks when you feel like you just can’t handle much more? I’ve had one of those. And it’s only Tuesday. I’ve doled out far more discipline lately than I ever cared to. Come to think of it, that’s always true, no matter how many reprimands I have to make. It’s not a […]
TOS Review Crew: Papa’s Pearls
I just finished reading Papa’s Pearls: A Father’s Gift of Love and Wisdom to His Children and Grandchildren by Diane Flynn Keith. I’ve been reviewing it as part of the Old Schoolhouse Review Crew. I read it aloud to all of my children, and they all really enjoyed it. I did change a bit of […]
