Back in November, we took advantage of an online Black Friday special and bought a trampoline for the backyard. Unfortunately, for the last 2 months it has been sitting in the box in our storage closet. First we had to wait until Daddy returned from his deployment right before Christmas. Then we had to wait until we . . . → Read More: Trampoline School Remember when school used to start back the day after Labor Day? That’s what we did this year! As of yesterday, I am officially the Mommy of a 1st grader. Wow! It seems like only yesterday this was my little Lovebug.
I am so blessed to be able to homeschool her, so I didn’t have . . . → Read More: First Day of First Grade! Lovebug and I continued our Mommy-Daughter weekend by spending Labor Day doing absolutely nothing except having fun. I soaked up every minute I had with my little girl because the next day we were starting school and I wanted to enjoy my Kindergartener as long as I could! Here is a little glimpse into our day, . . . → Read More: Last day with a Kindergartener . . . → Read More: A few reasons we homeschool A couple of weeks ago, Lovebug attended a “Science & Detective Camp” at a local children’s museum. I had come across an ad for it in a local publication and I knew it would be perfect for her! She’s always been interested in detectives, spies, mysteries, and similar adventures.

It’s . . . → Read More: I cried over her misspelled words We had a really rough time during school yesterday morning. Lovebug had a serious meltdown! We were working on schoolwork this morning, and she mentioned (nicely) that she didn’t want to do something we were working on. I asked her (nicely) “Why don’t you want to do that?”, and she lost it. She started crying and . . . → Read More: A very out-of-sync morning! I recently let an old domain where I hosted my old blog expire, so I was going through some old posts and reminiscing. When I started this blog, I moved over some old posts from that blog. I realized when I was going back through my old posts that I must have gotten distracted because I . . . → Read More: Where was I? Tuesday was “Letter B” day here in school! After getting our other subjects done, we took science on the go, and headed to the local nature and science museum to watch the IMAX version of “Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure”. Just another reason I LOVE homeschooling! We got our work done in less than 2 hours and . . . → Read More: Bugs & Ice Cream One of the hardest things for me when teaching my daughter is the huge ability gap between different subjects, or even within a subject. For example, she reads on at least a 3rd grade level. It’s likely higher, but I haven’t ventured any higher because it’s hard enough finding age appropriate content in a chapter book.
