I realize that October has only just begun, but I need to use these next few weeks to prepare for an upcoming adventure… November is typically a very busy month for me. In addition to homeschooling our kids, I also start getting our Christmas decorations up (don’t worry, we don’t turn the lights on until Thanksgiving night), thoroughly clean the house from top to bottom, plan the Thanksgiving Day menu, and then cook the meal. Well, in my dementia, I have decided to add even more to this busy

My sister has been having some issues with her younger son’s preK class. I wish she didn’t live on the opposite coast, since I could help her out more if she were nearer.

As I have written before, physical education has been a challenge for us over the years since we have been homeschooling. I have always encouraged my kids to spend as much time outdoors as possible. I figured that as long as they are outside getting fresh air, they’ll also naturally start playing something active. I mean they are kids, and that is what kids do right? Well, this is true. But as my kids have gotten older and all of the neighbor kids have moved away, I often find them sitting

I’ve been feeling under the weather lately and also other personal reasons, I’ve decided to take a hiatus from the 3-days a week homeschooling at Jenny’s place. So what do we do in our home learning journey then? I’ve resolved to focus on just the three R’s ( R eading, W r iting and A r ithmetic), Tim’s afterall still in the nursery level and I really do not want to drive him hard through the academic way. I still prefer the learn through play method. I wish to help my kids learn the natural wa
