Winter and Polar Unit Study Continued
We spent the end of December and a good part of January so far working on seasonal topics, including talking about all things Polar. Read up on previous activities HERE. The children played outside, watched Frozen, chatted about the snow, played outside some more, and dreamed about the snow to come through chattering teeth and … [Read more…]
Zofran over the counter
We have used a DIY hot chocolate mix recipe ever since we have been married–it was one my mom passed down in a family recipe book, and we love it dearly. However, the sizes of all the containers have changed since the recipe was first recorded, and so I strove to make a new version … Zofran over the counter
Wake us up when December ends…Calendars and Seasons
Books read over the Holidays through the first 2 weeks of January–and topic worked on starting January 4, 2016!

Impish grins, spit up, and glitter–everywhere
That’s what it’s like to have 4 little girls. Today I sang them a good morning song (think Happy Birthday!) along with huge hugs, and then proceeded to yell at them to hurry up and get out of the way the rest of the day. It happens. I didn’t get a shower and I have … [Read more…]
New Year, Same You…Or is it?
January 1st is just another date on the calendar, another ticking of the same clock. Normally I make a few silly resolutions and let that be that. Yet somehow this artificial ‘new year’ springs a fresh hope in my heart. The last couple of weeks have been pretty dark here. Posting has taken a back … [Read more…]
