Christmas Activities – Add some holiday fun to your homeschool!

Create Easy and Affordable Personalized Gifts on Canvas
Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, special occasions, anytime is a great time to create personalized gifts! When you create a personalized gift it shows forethought, it shows love. I know, I know, I’m not a crafty, artsy person either! Here’s the good news…you don’t have to be! Got a cell phone? Can you access the Internet? Then […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
Seeing as my friend Shana keeps beating me to my own posts, I decided that I should mention her here! For whatever reason she gets her “Little Things” post up WAY before I seem to even start mine, let alone get it posted! I usually use my “Little Things” post as a reminder to […]

I ♥ Faces ~ “In the Orchard”
This week over at I ♥ Faces the challenge is “In the Orchard”. We did not head out to any orchard this year. Instead, we have an apple tree in our backyard that we were picking apples from. We don’t usually eat too many of them as they are small and my husband likes his […]
“Just” A Stay-at-Home Mom?
Someone was recently thrown aback by a father who (not knowing her) made a statement in conversation about how he did not want his daughter to be “Just a stay-at-home Mom”. So I ask you, why, we as a society do this to our “stay-at-home” Moms? Why do we say “JUST” a stay-at-home Mom? Why […]
Weekly Wrap-Up ~ Fire Safety & A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Sunday: To close out Fire Prevention Week our local fire hall had their annual open house. Given that our state requires us to cover fire prevention and safety each year this is a good way for us to review these topics each year. The kids love this time of year, one for the firehouse visit, […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
Earlier this week I was thinking about the things I have been working on with Ava and where I might like to start working on new things. She recognizes numbers 1- 12 and can count to at least 50. She can count by 5s and 10s as well. I thought to myself, “wouldn’t it […]

Simple Woman’s Daybook ~ October 7th, 2010
Simple Woman’s Daybook FOR TODAY: October 7th, 2010… Outside my window…the ground is wet but the sky looks fairly clear. We have had days of non-stop dreary skies and rain. The lack of sun is taking its toll on me. I am thinking…that it has been a very busy week, I have had little to […]
