It is a beautiful day here! 61 degrees, clear, sunny skies and a slight breeze. It’s also Valentine’s Day! (Bet you weren’t aware of that! haha!) It’s simply too beautiful to be stuck inside all day staring at our school work – even though we try to keep school fun around here, it can’t compete …
A few snapshots from our week: Laci made some blueberry muffins! She’s getting to be a big helper! Enjoying each other. 🙂 Lauren painted her toenails! Oh yes, and her fingernails, too! We enjoyed two days of snowfall! Well, I enjoyed it! My kids are actually saying they are tired of snow…TIRED? How can that …
Scroll down to read about how to enter! It’s that time of year again. Our books are getting tattered. The kids are well over the excitement of being in a new grade. We’re tired of the cold, cloudy winter days. Blah. It’s time for a mid-term makeover!Yep. I need a homeschooling-pick-me-up! I love looking through catalogs, …
The last few weeks, I’ve been doing one of my favorite things: planning our next school year. I usually purchase our materials in Jan./Feb. each year after we receive our tax refund. I love looking through catalogs, making lists, and reading reviews on various curricula. I love hearing about how others homeschool! That doesn’t mean …

Our little Leslie is in Kindergarten this year. We have been using Abeka materials for her, and I think her favorite subject is art! I wanted to share some of the art projects she’s gotten to make for Thanksgiving. My little pilgrim girl! 🙂 This hat is from the ABeka art book. Another ABeka project, …
I wanted to quickly share a website that looks to be an excellent resource for teaching sewing – even for those of us who *ahem* are not exactly experts behind a sewing machine! {Yes, sadly, that would include yours truly!}I have not purchased this curriculum yet, but after reading a review of these materials in …
So, have you ever had one of those days? The kind where it doesn’t just rain, it pours? The kind where the dog bites and the bee stings and singing about your favorite things just doesn’t happen? In fact, who ever sang after they were bitten by a dog or stung by a bee anyway? Yeah, …
I attended a Christian school which used A.C.E. for ten years of my education. I home schooled for the last three years using Abeka materials. When I made the transition from A.C.E. to Abeka, I found that I had several gaps in my education. I would like to address these gaps and the ways I’m …
We have completed three weeks of school! Yippee! We are using the A.C.E. program for 3rd and 6th grades this year. This curriculum choice has freed me up to care for our seven week old baby, teach Leslie K5 using the Abeka materials, and spend time with Laci, age 3. In the A.C.E. program, a …
