Math Flashcards
In an effort to combat summer brain drain I am getting the kiddos into what will hopefully become our summer homeschool routine. Now don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean we will be sitting at the kitchen table for six hours a day 5 days a week. That to me sounds like torture! To me summer […]
Kidz Craft: Painting Rocks!
We will be planting our veggie garden very soon and the kiddos could not be more excited! They have enjoyed watching the seeds sprout and grow over the last few weeks.

Dream Day at the Mall becomes a Nightmare!
To say it has been a crazy week in our household would be an understatement. Both Mommy and Daddy are on the mends after some health issues. Thus, it finally dawned on me Thursday morning that Mother’s Day is Sunday and we have no gifts for our amazing moms! So after picking up our 1st […]

Things to do on Mother’s Day
It is that time of year again when mothers begin to stock pile their Kleenex and practice their expressions of surprise and endearing smiles in the mirror. When little ones bring home macaroni necklaces and Fruit Loop bracelets, clay plaques with imprints of their little hands, and priceless placements that claim mom is 20 years […]
Friendships: Real, Fake, and Facebook
The other day the children had a friend over for a play date. I was in the other room when I overheard one of the children claim that they would no longer be the other child’s friend if they did not give them a certain toy. I chuckled to myself. It is rather amusing how […]
