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 …
St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow so it’s time to talk about all things Irish. Still plenty of time to fill the week with some shenanigans. I don’t think that’s an Irish word, but it sounds like one to me, so it felt right. Lucky Charms, leprechauns, pots of gold and rainbows. So many options. Traditions …
This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Across the nation, as we acknowledged “Read Across America Day,” I thought back to when I was a new mom, rocking and reading for so many hours. I remember the books that made my child’s eyes light up and the ones we all knew by heart because we …
Plans. Even the best laid ones can go awry. Some days, there seems to be a big difference in the way I see my day going and the way it ends up. What I wanted to accomplish. All the fun things I thought I would do with my boys. I wake up with great aspirations …
