In our Social Studies class we learned a little about Oceans. My Princess loves Math but disliked Social Studies. This quarter we are doing Science, which is her new favorite class.

There is also printables, games and library list. Disney's Finding Nemo offers games, … [Read more...]

I have told you before about my daughter's love of the How To Train Your Dragon movies and television show. In fact, she still talks about when we had the opportunity to see How to Train Your Dragon Live. So when the chance to review the next installment of the How To Train Your Dragon television series became available, I knew I could not pass it up. The Year of the Dragon DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon are in for a treat this year. Twentieth Century Fox Home … [Read more...]
My Daughter Loves Canada
We have traveled many times to British Columbia. We live only an hour from the border. My daughter LOVES Canada. Do you know why? She loves a kids television station up there called Tree House.

We Got Rid of Cable Television
We made it back home from Baton Rouge this weekend. Whew! What a long travel day for us. We had a layover in Dallas for a couple hours. Thankfully, the DFW airport is very kid-friendly. But that four hour flight from Dallas with a 20 month old? MISERABLE. After the flight ended the folks around us commented on how well he did. Yes, but we had to work hard to keep him happy. After 9.5 hours of travel my husband and I were exhausted. {And we still live 1.5 hours from Sea-Tac Airport!} We came … [Read more...]

Thank you to StarVista Entertainment TimeLife for sponsoring today's post. I can remember watching television with my mother at a young age.

Sorry, Bluths and … [Read more...]
Advice for Parents of Kindergartners
Thank you FHE Insiders for sponsoring today's post. I am homeschooling, so I don't understand what it feels like for parents to send their kids off to school at the age of 5 or 6 for the first time. I can't imagine actually. The thought of sending my daughter to school all day honestly terrifies me. Is that strange? I am that overprotective mother who'd rather shelter her child. We homeschool because of our travleing lifestyle, but even if we weren't traveling I'd still homeschool these … [Read more...]
