I have always wanted to go to Australia. It’s on my bucket list. Given that it is around 22 hours flying time, I feel like I should commit at least a couple of weeks. There is plenty to do and see, so filling up a two-week itinerary should not be a problem. It will not …
Cars. Cars. Cars. That was the answer if you asked my two-year-old at the time, now eight-year-old what he wanted to play with. He wanted to race cars. We would sit, me or his dad or his grandparents at one end of the hall and he at the other. He would race his toy cars …
For our third week of SVL (supplement-to-virtual learning), I decided to focus on all things Spring. The weather is perfect this time of year, so we needed to be outdoors. I was so grateful for the days of sunshine because it lessened the feeling of being sequestered during lockdown. We headed outside and got our …
Given the fact that it’s Mother’s Day and I have a mom blog, I feel a bit of pressure to write a Mother’s Day post. Do not get me wrong. I love to write, and I love to write about my sweet boys (hence the mom blog). But, I feel like I am constantly writing …
We have to take a pause on the supplement to virtual learning units because it’s May the 4th week. We love Star Wars at our house and we absolutely stop and recognize this day. Why? I’m glad you asked. First and foremost, it’s iconic. The storyline, special effects, characters, costumes, and music are just some …
For our second week of supplement-to-virtual learning or SVL, I chose the rainforest. I don’t seem to have enough anacronyms in my world, so I thought I would just throw another one out there. I love learning about the rainforest, though. It must be so beautiful. I’m sure that it is but can’t say with …
It’s Earth Week, so I thought it was a good time to start sharing my themed homeschool schedules given that we started this around a year ago this month. Last year, when the pandemic hit, our boys’ schools initially responded as did many across the nation and they were sent home. For the first couple …
My boys are gamers. By that, I mean they know how to work the PS4 and Nintendo Switch better than they know how to use a fork and knife. Maybe an exaggeration but only slightly. While they love their video games, they also love all kinds of games. We play board games routinely and even …
I can’t believe it is April already. Easter is here! Bunnies! Little chicks! Candy in spring pastel colors! Little ones hunting for Easter eggs in sweet Sunday-best outfits is just the best, isn’t it? I remember when mine were little. Their sweet little hands were just big enough to grab those eggs and boy could …
This past Saturday marked the first day of spring. For those of us in North America, this typically ushers in a milder climate with warmer temperatures and seasonal rains that bring forth a whole host of activity. The natural world seems to literally come alive, waking from the peaceful slumber of hibernation, and leaving behind …
