As I mentioned early in the school year, we kind of did our own thing with read-alouds this year because my girls had just listened to all the read-alouds that went with their Sonlight core the previous year. We took the opportunity to just read some good books together. Some were my favorites, and some [...]

The Reading Rap
My girls were inspired by the Trains’ video from the other day and begged to do one of their own. This is what we came up with. The lyrics are written below in the post, as they can be a little hard to understand in some spots in the video. The rap is based on books [...]
Happily Ever After………and other myths
Updated 1/25/2013: When I wrote this 2 years ago, I had no idea that 2 weeks later I would find out that I was pregnant with Micah who was born in September of 2011. We also adopted our Gaige and James that year. It was an awesome year! When I was younger, pre -Mrs. [...]
Looking Forward to 2013: Mama Train

My Little Mathematician

Their job was to collect one shoe from each pair of shoes in the house and to classify them into kingdom, phylum, class, and [...]

So, have I mentioned lately that I’m getting excited about the new school year? Just a little? WELL…. I can’t help it! New school supplies make me giddy. And spiral binding? It’s Where. It’s. At. I’m totally in love with my girls’ daily notebooks this year. So, without further ado, may I present, the notebooks [...]
