This post is very late going up today. Life has been busy this week with the addition of Oscar, our new 4 month old Bichon that we brought home with us on Tuesday. Chloe has been pushing hard for a puppy and I told her I would consider it if she saved her money […]
Learning the Presidents of the United States was made immeasurably easier when we found a song to help us out. This year for history we are studying the 44 Presidents of the United States. Just touching briefly on each one of them to have an idea of their names, and what they might have accomplished, […]
What I ♥ Faces has to say about this week’s challenge: Chalk is an awesome way to incorporate a bit of fun into a photo. Be creative and have fun with this one (and make sure you have a face clearly showing in your photo entry as well!)

This week we are starting something new. Over the summer I was asked to review a book called The Core: Teaching Your Child the Foundations of Classical Education.
