Teaching History through the Women in History
I have two daughters. I want them to know they can do or be anything they set their minds to. We have tried many ways in which to teach history in our homeschool. I suddenly realized it might be cool (and relevant) to teach history via Women in History. This offers me the chance to […]
Summer Boredom Busters – 15 Rockin Backyard Games
It’s summer time! Kids everywhere are excited to be out of school and look forward to their freedom. The first part of the season is exciting. They may get to go to summer camp and maybe you are planning a family vacation. But when those activities are finished, they are faced with a lot of […]
I ♥ Faces ~ Celebrating Mom
In searching for a photo that celebrates “Mom”, many ideas went through my head, from pregnancy, to the 3 smiling faces of my children, to the exhausted not so fantastically flattering moments in my photo history and back again. Since I am not for the not so flattering ones of me, I decided to skip […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
Coming back from 2 1/2 weeks of vacation has been VERY hard. We are weeks behind all our neighbors in yard and landscaping care, the house needs to be cleaned, the kids are having a hard time settling back in to a routine, there is a camper to prep and all the regular activities to […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
For once my “Little Thing” is going to include me. So often our days, weeks, months, feel cluttered with the mundane, or not so, flow of life. One of the things I have been noticing, enjoying, and making more of an effort to do is play. Just play. The response from the kids is all […]

Preferences ~ As Evidenced in Shell Collection
While vacationing in Florida I noticed something quirky about the kids. We spent a large amount of time hunting for shells along the Atlantic shoreline. While we strolled the beach each child chose their own shells. Back in our condo in the evening, I set out to washing and sorting all the shells. What I […]
It’s the Little Things Thursday
Over the years Chloe has always been disappointed that as the “big” sister, her siblings have not been all that responsive to her constant offers of help and support. She could be so much help to me, in theory, but neither Jayden or Ava have really let her be of help to them. Recently, I […]
I ♥ Faces ~ Collages
The folks over at I ♥ Faces have issued a Collage Challenge this week. I did not have much time for this one but I tossed together a cute one of Ava on the beach.

I am thinking…that I really like sunshine and wishes to see more of it. I am thankful for…the chance to have some quality family time to chill and regroup. From the learning […]
