At night, the Princess always reminds us that she needs to brush her teeth. She loves brushing her teeth and using her mouthwash. (I pray that she never has a cavity!) Last night when she remember before us yet again, she said,“I have something in my head that helps me remember.”“What do you have in your head?” daddy asked her.“Jesus is in my head and helps me remember” she replied.We laughed of course. It was cute and funny. It was not the first time she told us this. She has often told us when … [Read more...]
Bed Bugs
Actually it was a gigantic spider hiding under the bed in the spare room. While building a fort, the hubby saw a very big spider. He came out of the room with our Princess, located a shoe and went back in with a mission: Get rid of that spider. Once the Princess figured out what his intentions were, she ran into the room to stop him. “No that’s my friend!” she yelled. (I was reminded of Charlotte’s Web in that moment – a favorite movie of hers.) Distracted by his daughter, he missed with the … [Read more...]

But, the mouse is "her size", which makes her very happy so she is persisting.I belong to The Christian Homeschool Hub and the latest conversation has been about Homeschool programs and … [Read more...]

Yes, we really are still doing school. It has just been a long time since I have talked about Homeschool with our Preschooler. We are in small town Iowa right now.

Blessing Cards
During our travels we meet so many great people. We get to know them in the four or five weeks we are working with their church, and then we have to leave. I always say that we will have a grand reunion in Heaven one day with a lot of great people. During this seminar, our Princess has really connected with the two lovely ladies who are in charge of child care. They have fallen in love with the Princess and are so very patient and kind to her. Our Princess lovingly refers to them as “my new … [Read more...]

The seminar started this week and I could feel us start to slack in our school time. We didn’t spend as much time as I wanted to for school. So this new week we will be getting back into the routine we began.We did get some new books at the library. We went over the regular things: shapes, colors, numbers, and alphabet. But, I also wanted to incorporate a few new things:I wanted to introduce her to the concept of Seasons. This book was perfect. After we read this the first time on Monday, she … [Read more...]
