Last week, my Princess and I had a 100 Days of School party. (You'll see the photos of our fun day soon!) We've completed 100 days of Kindergarten Homeschool! I know, we are little behind. But the great thing about homeschooling is that you can just keep going as long into the summer as necessary. Plus, my Princess actually loves school time so summer school sounds like fun to her. (Me? Well, I do what I need to do!} I might start having school a couple Sundays per month to catch up a bit. … [Read more...]
Ideas to Keep a Toddler Busy While Homeschooling
Homeschooling my daughter in Kindergarten is difficult with a 21 month old active boy. Most days it is overwhelming. My son wants to be included in school. He disrupts us. He wants to be fed breast milk. He climbs up on his sister's desk to sit with her. So it is time for a change. I need to be doing something with him at the same time so my Princess and I can more easily focus on our Kindergarten homeschool work. {Praise the Lord for the internet. I needed ideas!} I found six great articles on … [Read more...]
Warmer Weather and Sunshine!
Spring is so close. I love it. We have been enjoying many days of warmer weather and sunshine here in Western Washington. My kids are excited to be back outside.

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Zarbee’s Naturals. I received product samples and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Daylight Savings time really did a number on my Little Man. He still hasn't recovered. And guess what? Neither have I, because of it!

In fact, he has … [Read more...]

Our Kindergarten Homeschool Routine
I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for Nutri-Grain. I received product samples and promotional item to thank me for participating. Now that I am homeschooling my Kindergartner, my mornings have become a bit more rushed than I'd like. To be honest, I don't have time for a large breakfast. I have not ever been a big breakfast as a meal fan but the last few years I have realized the importance of eating something healthy in the morning {even if it is … [Read more...]
