Linking up with Weird Unsocialized Home Schoolers for their Weekly Wrap up. Click HERE for info/to join! The A States are what we focused on this week: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas.

What do you do when it’s back to school at home? Two and a half weeks and we are BACK TO SCHOOL! We’re going to start on August 15th, and then have a holiday the next Monday to celebrate our newest Kindergartner’s 5th birthday… or 1st grade. Hard to say. She’s turning 5 but she … [Read more…]
So. Quite a year. Here’s our 2015-2016 Home School Year End Review for B at age 4 in PreK/1st-2nd for K at age 6-7 from August Summer to May. We had a bit of a break in there from our baby born in November, but my husband stepped in and did some awesome fun things … [Read more…]

Needless to say it’s been kind of scattered around here what with saying ‘cover your face’ every … [Read more…]

Mom managed to procure some jellybeans on Saturday so we held them over for a morning treat! The rest of the week we basically just … [Read more…]
