Real Life Lesson #1 / Do you KNOW your info?

Embarassing moment #2011 for the homeschool mom

The doctor or another adult asks your child “So what grade are you in?”  
Child gets a blank look on their face and looks at you for the answer like they don’t have a brain in their head.  
Adult then looks at you like “didn’t you teach them ANYthing?”

Yes it happens a lot.  But it gets worse as they get older.  There is a lot of information that the rest of the world just seem to know without any hesitation that my homeschooled kids don't have in their heads. 

A book list for May and June: Fantasy, Magic and Dragons!

On Saturday I read a whole book in one day.  That hasn’t happened in a really long time!  It was raining and it seemed like the perfect thing to do.  Sometimes our bodies just need time to rest and recuperate from everyday living.

Normally my reading is confined to waiting rooms and the 30 minutes before bedtime and that just isn’t enough to satisfy my desire for reading!  

Are you taking time to enjoy summer?

I can’t stand that we are almost to the 4th of July!  Seriously the time is flying by as it usually does. 

I don’t know why I’m surprised each year at how quick these fun summer months go by.

We are in the middle of revamping our deck.  It is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to share it with you all.
