American History Timeline Resources: American Revolution
Is it the American Revolution or The Revolutionary War? I used to be so confused by the terminology surrounding the American Revolution since it has more than one name (including the previously mentioned ones, plus the U.S War of Independence). Truth is it’s both or either. Revolutionary America is a period of American History from […]

Weekly Wrap-Up ~ Snakes & Giraffes
. Monday: Today was Jayden’s last science class at the RMSC. They learned about insects. He came home telling us that “bug” is not a scientific word. At the end of every class they always get a chance to get up close with one of the animals they have in the classroom there. This week […]
Wordless (almost) Wednesday ~ Lilac Festival
We made a trip to the Lilac Festival to check out the flowers. I was thrilled to get a couple of great portrait opportunities. Wish we had not been with other people and had Chloe with us as I could have taken a fantastic photo of the three kids together! . . . . .

. Monday: It was Museum & Music Lesson Monday. We have been heading to the RMSC every Monday for the past 6 weeks in order for Jayden to attend a science class. The class never starts on time because of something I heard others call, “Homeschool Time” which is really a horrible excuse to be […]

50 States Postcard Swap
I am working on organizing a 50 States Postcard Swap. The idea is that people from all over the United States will both send postcards from their state, and receive postcards from many other states. This could be used as a great learning tool to “travel” the United States. For instance you can study each […]
Wordless (almost) Wednesday – Easter Egg Hunt
We were on our way home from Florida on Easter Sunday so our festivities were put off. It ended that we combined the kids Easter Egg hunt with Mother’s Day. It was a great thing considering how awesome the weather was here that day! This was the best flowing, most relaxing Easter Egg hunt we […]
“Homeschool Time” – How some make a bad name for the rest of us!
So again today, as I have been every Monday for the past 6 weeks or so, I am reminded of one of the homeschooling mantras (if you will), that irritates me to no end! The one where it excuses homeschoolers from ever being on time. I know that it is not representative of all homeschoolers, […]
May 3 in 30 ~ Week 2
. Goal One: Focus more on what I am thankful for. Take time to be grateful instead of griping . The one piece of this goal that I can’t seem to get on board with is the calendar. I did print one, but have yet to fill it in. We really enjoy doing the “Thankful […]
