The Week of Catching Up and Visiting D.C. – Homeschool and Life Happenings

Mar92018

With the kiddos a bit under the weather last week, this week (although intended to be our spring break) we spent some time catching up on some missed lessons. For me that meant wrapping up a few things that I've been putting off: taxes, grading papers, and lining up some of the classes that we will be focusing on next year for McKenna for 10th grade. Our kids each have different … [Continue reading...]

A BIG Ol’ Box of Books GIVEAWAY

Mar72018

Our bookshelves need a little cleaning off, and one fun way to do that is to share the book goodness with YOU all and give them away to one of my readers. That is, assuming you love free books. :) Many of the books are in brand new condition, but a few others may have some underlining or an earmarked corner or two.

What I’m Reading (and the Kids too) – March 2018

Mar62018

What have YOU been reading this month? I've been trying to branch out some in my reading genre (i.e. I'm a huge historical fiction fan and tend to get stuck in an era or genre).

So while we have been doing schoolwork at home, it's been one of those "laying low" weeks overall. The kids started out with a long weekend swim meet. For all of the kids it was an encouraging meet since they dropped times in almost all of their events. The facility they competed at is crazy.

Blog Planner Printables ~ Organize Your Blog Planning

Feb262018

Maybe you need a little help organizing your blog with upcoming post ideas, reviews, and all the expenses that can go along with running a site. Years ago I created a free blog planner that has been a huge help to me and many other. The planner itself is undated so it can be used year after year, but recently I updated the yearly calendar page for my readers as well and thought it would be great … [Continue reading...]

Camping in the Snow and Other Fun – Homeschool and Life Happenings

Feb232018

How was your week? Here it's been feeling like a whole lotta spring, but also the weather has been fickle. And by fickle, I mean snow, ice, and freezing rain one day, and then two days later a balmy 75 degrees with the windows wide open and kids going nuts outside. Need proof? Zachary and Kaleb went camping with their Boy Scout troop over the weekend and hiked about … [Continue reading...]
