With 3 readers of very different levels in our home, I have embarked upon a new project.
My sweet friend from college is also a homeschooling mom and she discovered a website that helps her with her little guy who struggles with dyslexia.
Accelerated Reader is a website where you can type in the books that you [...]

We happened upon this website recently and have had the best time watching this wild mama (Molly) barn owl nesting on her eggs (and hatchlings). In fact, last night we watched a baby hatch out of its egg and the daddy owl (McGee) bring a rat for the mama to eat. This is an amazing [...] I received this in my facebook today and felt it was too good, too timely not to pass along. From Finders-Keepers Educational Supply: The anniversary of Patrick Henry’s famous speech could not come at a more appropriate time. As political lines are drawn and ideological fervor escalates, Americans are reexamining what liberty really means and which [...] We took a trip to our local nature museum today with a group of friends and had a wonderful time exploring different animals, chasing butterflies and enjoying the sunshine. “I hate school. I hate school. I hate school. I hate school. I hate school.” Well. I did ask for 5 sentences. I guess I should have been more specific. We love special days that give us the excuse to break out of our normal routine and have lots of fun with different lessons. Painting without paint. Using [...] Ok, really… I have not a bit of Irish in me…but my children do! And with a strong Irish last name, I get to lay claim to this mainly Irish holiday! It is so easy on this date to wrapped up in wearing green, searching for good luck shamrocks and pinching those not dressed to the [...] |
 I am a mom to 4, wife to my wonderful husband of 11 years and a teacher who has a passion for learning and sharing! I homeschool my children and cherish the opportunities to watch them learn and discover. I am excited about passing on ideas that I have and that I've found to make the journey of writing on our children's hearts easier and more fun along the way.  As our first child, our Butterfly is the fearless leader of the foursome - and she takes her job very seriously! She is 10 and is in 6th grade. Butterfly loves to read, sing, hang out with friends, read, play on the computer, read, cook, do crocheting and knitting projects, read and swim. Oh and did I mention that she LOVES to read?  Our fearless Lion is our second child, 8 years old and in 3rd grade. Created in God's image, we often see the Warrior side of God in our son and love watching that develop in him. Lion loves Legos, Star Wars, his bike, computer games, climbing and swimming.  Our little Ladybug is the little mommy of our family. She loves anything girly - dressing up, putting on "lips", doing her hair, singing, dancing, coloring, reading, playing with her dollies and mothering her siblings. Ladybug is 5 and is in Kindergarten. She lives life full of joy and was born with a song in her heart.  Bear is 2 and ready to take a big bite out of life. On the go as much as he is able, Bear is all boy! He loves his water table, balls, dogs, tools, his brother and sisters, books and dancing. Bear will eat anything that he can get his hands on...perhaps "Moose" would have been a better nickname for him. |
