Ingredients:
1 lb. of ground beef
8 oz. can of [...]

I’m always hyper on Mondays. No matter how tired I am or how sore I am from a weekend workout, I always seem to cruise on Monday. I think it’s because weekends are disorder in my life. Our days are ordered M-F and then the unpredictability of my husband (you know, like [...]

We sat down today for our third day this week of structured learning. We started first with our reading lessons, learning a new sound (a). Bump did really well. He knows his alphabet inside and out - including sounds, so this is really a breeze for him so far. The writing is [...]

Today, we came back to our reading. Bump didn’t want to, but we’re going to. I plan 3x a week to do about 1/2 hour of learning stuff. He wants to play hide and seek and chase. Zach is down for his nap, so this makes the playing field wide open [...]

I’ve meant to post something here previously about the battle that is waging in the local school district. Our area is growing so quickly that the schools can’t really keep up with it. They’ve been overcrowded for years, with some children as young as grade school age taking classes in trailers that have [...]

I heard the big lie again this week. This time from my sister-in-law. Now never mind that at 50, she has never been married nor had children (or even custody of children.) While she may be a great babysitter, we repediately run into problems with her because she cannot objectively judge discipline [...]

I read an article in the paper this morning about Matthew Whaley Elementary School, located in the historic district a stone’s throw from Colonial Williamsburg. One of the huge problems the Williamsburg school systems have been having is overcrowding. There are articles in the newspapers almost weekly about projects, over crowding of current [...]

I don’t even have a link in my sidebar to my Homeschool Blog over at Homeschool Blogger. Shame on me! I posted a quick snippet today about building my library. I thought I ‘d share it here as well!
