Last week I shared a super simple routine for our summer months. In fact, it was so laid back I'm not even sure I can call it a routine! If you missed that you can find it here. In addition the smaller things I mentioned before, we've also made some bigger plans for the summer, … Continue reading Our Summer Plans: Part Two, The Bucket List
Our Summer Plans: Part One
You know that I love routines! I couldn't resist developing something new for this summer! This summer's routine is mostly a plan for things I'd like to accomplish and do this season, it includes things like establishing a chore chart and going on some fun outings. Although I want our summer to be pretty free … Continue reading Our Summer Plans: Part One
Activities for a Rainy Day
Ever since I first saw the idea for bored jars (thank you, Pinterest), I've always wanted to do one. I finally got around to it last week, and thought I'd share what I included. You'll notice that these are all indoor-activities; my idea is to use these on bad-weather days throughout the summer, so I'm … Continue reading Activities for a Rainy Day
June Reads
For the same reason I didn't blog a whole lot for the last few weeks, I also didn't finish too many books. I was too consumed by homeschooling! I read a lot though- blogs, parts of books about homeschooling, parts of books about education, I just didn't finish very many cover-cover. I read one book … Continue reading June Reads
The Kindergarten Experiment
You guys, its been so long since I've blogged I'm almost embarrassed. Almost. Ha. I've been fascinated with the idea of homeschooling for a while, and when John brought it up in conversation last month (super casually, like this-is-a-thing-that-I-keep-seeing way) I started to seriously consider it as a possibility. And the more I thought about … Continue reading The Kindergarten Experiment
Spring-time adventures and our first camping trip
I love this time of year when things have finally greened up outside but the weather hasn't turned hot yet, so I'm trying to take advantage by getting us outside as much as I can muster the energy for. Warm weather means puddles! Puddle jumping is possibly Wyatt's most favorite thing in the whole world. … Continue reading Spring-time adventures and our first camping trip
May Reads
This month my reading moods have been all over the place. Is this a thing? Does this happen to anyone else? Sometimes, even though I was enjoying my current read, I just didn't feel like dipping back into the story. So I've been swapping out my regular reads for a book of short stories or … Continue reading May Reads
Porter turns 5!
On Thursday we celebrated Porter's 5th birthday. We woke up to have our traditional birthday waffles (waffles with chocolate chips or sprinkles in them) and opened presents right away. We were so lucky that Porter's birthday coincided with John's days off, it was extra special to have daddy at home with us on a weekday. … Continue reading Porter turns 5!
Porter’s birth story
Today Porter turned 5 years old (pictures and birthday post coming in the next few days) and I have big feelings about this day. For one thing, I have a 5 year old! How did this even happen?!?!? Surely I can't be old enough and grown up enough to have a 5 year old. I … Continue reading Porter’s birth story
My Thrive List
A long time ago I was reading an article somewhere on the web (which for the life of me I cannot find) about thriving vs. surviving. The author was talking about what she needed to take her life to the next level, to move from surviving to truly thriving. Although this was a few years … Continue reading My Thrive List
