This past summer we stayed extremely busy doing all sorts of activities. One place we kept coming back to was our local library. There was always 2-3 programs each week we wanted to make it for and many more we put on our list of “if we have time.” One of our favorite programs was… Continue reading Library Catapult Launchers
On day 2 of Creation, God created the sky. Before planning out this unit, I had asked Caleb how he wanted to approach this topic. We made a list of things we could focus on like wind, weather, aerodynamics, clouds…just to name a few. Caleb decided on clouds. Personally, I was pretty excited as well… Continue reading Bible Unit – Genesis 1 – Clouds
My little sister has moved away to Minnesota to purse her dream of becoming a missionary. I am so proud of her for what she is doing and who she is becoming. Selfishly though, it does make me a little sad. My best friend is now 5 hours away!! And in a short year, she… Continue reading Oh A Hiking We Shall Go
As many of you know, I like to schedule our school year way in advance…like a year in advance. Now it all looks great on paper but when school weeks actually come up…well, life happens and we don’t always get to “school” as planned. It has worked better for us to take full weeks off… Continue reading A Little Make-up
Today was our first day back into a full school day after taking 3 weeks off. Unfortunately, we weren’t all able to start up like planned. I think Xander is on the verge of getting an ear infection and was really out of sorts today. He spent most of his day vegged out on the… Continue reading Sort-of Full Day Back
Every year, we are fortunate to take time off and go on a road trip. We live in the wonderful state of Wisconsin and in the last 5 years or so, we can’t seem to take our trip out of the state. There is so much to see and do around here! This year we… Continue reading Wisconsin Road Trip

Once a month, over the summer, we are getting together at different park locations and learning about a new artist or artistic technique. The kids then have an opportunity to recreate some of the famous artist’s work before being… Continue reading Art in the Park
The beginning of June, the boys and I had the opportunity to go roller skating with several fellow homeschoolers. I was quite nervous about going because I haven’t put on skates since I was in elementary school. Let’s just say it was a great workout not only from skating but from the laughing as well.… Continue reading Roller Skating Amusement
Do you have any fears? Fears that stop you in your tracks or even go as far as crippling you. Do you ever watch from the sidelines frozen with terror unable to join in on the fun that life has to offer? I know that I do. I have several actually. Just recently my 3… Continue reading Conquering the Sprinkler
I wanted to give the little guys a quick introduction to botany, especially now that our garden has really begun to grow. Here is the unit we did together. Besides diving into seeds a little, I kept this unit pretty basic. Our first activity I got from Jennifer at SugarSpiceandGlitter. I highly recommend checking out… Continue reading Introduction to Botany
