Learning about Life, Learning about Him, Teaching about Life, Teaching about Him
As busy homeschool moms, we have plenty of “to do” lists. I’m not even talking about life stuff. Homeschooling alone has quite the laundry list of essentials that must get done. In future blog posts, I’ll share tips on how to get those tasks done (lesson planning, buying curriculum, scheduling your year, etc.) Not that I’m an expert, but I have had a lot of trial and error. What I want to give you here is the Homeschool Mom’s “To Don’t” List.
I went to public school from kindergarten through graduate school and was never taught about the Japanese Internment camps. I knew about their existence because of my dad’s experience in a camp. Educating our kids about this aspect of history is important and something I have not done as well as I should. To that end, I have compiled a book list and resources to help in this endeavor. I also created three sets of free printables to share with you.
Another month, another “funny mom quote” free printable. This time, I have a story to go with it. It’s a true story, and one that illustrates this quote.
This post will be short on words, but big on images. In trying to keep my life a little more organized, I created a Week at a Glance printable. I started off with one, and decided that I would like more options. The result is 8 versions of my week at a glance free printable that I want to share with you.
My kids like to play games. The older ones are amazing at card games. My oldest son was in a hand cast and still beat me at Dutch Blitz (a version of speed). With such a wide age range, it’s sometimes difficult to find a game we can all play. Enter the drawing dice game.
