When I was younger I loved to draw and paint. I was not very good but I still loved having a sketch book with pencils and watercolors on me. I don't have much time for it anymore, but I can see now that my Princess is starting to love drawing as well. She recently got an oversized print to color. Instead of coloring it, she flipped it over and drew large pictures on the back. My dad likes to draw too, each week after our church potluck he enjoys sitting down and drawing. With Back To School … [Read more...]
Start Training Early
Our family values education in school and life. That is why we made the decision to start training early with our Princess. We also will be doing this with our Little Man too.

Preschool on the Laptop
My Princess got a mouse in her stocking this year. Since she has been regularly doing her Preschool lessons on the computer, we decided to introduce her to the mouse. She has been using the laptop "mouse" (what is that called?) and is used to that. So this week has been difficult for her to use the new mouse.

Preschool Lesson Outline
I enjoy taking notes and making outlines. So when I decided to do preschool this year with my Princess, I first made an outline. I must admit once I made the outline and looked at resources online, I learned that homeschooling takes a lot of work.

These are the subjects I would like to teach my Preschool … [Read more...]
