This is one of those fun little ideas I came up with after an internet search for quotes. I wanted something more than the typical store bought card. A cap and rolled up diploma, of course. An appropriate quote from Dr. Seuss, of course. We start out with Dr. Seuss don’t we? Why not graduate [...]
Former, wonderful, overflowing and overused bookcase in our most central location. My husband and I have been blessed with hand-me-down furniture. There is just an abundance of pieces on my side of the family. And, in the almost seventeen years of our marriage, this furniture has served us well. However, never, in the past, has [...]
I thought it was about time for an update on the Hodgepodge workboxes! As with all aspects of homeschooling now and then, our workboxes needed a makeover. See, I was quite taken with workboxes about this time two years ago. I still, very much, appreciate their usefulness. When my friend Angie first introduced me to [...]
Favorite photo of the week – on our nature walk in the backyard. We stayed close and really got to learning this week. You know, those afternoons when all of sudden it’s time to make supper? Yep. Whew! One highlight – the two older girls tried out for the spring Drama Troupe production of The [...]

But we also incorporate some living math because… it’s fun! we get to pull out all the board games (e.g., Blokus) adding some logic to your day is nice baking something yummy is math [...]
Today, we are off at the Georgia Aquarium celebrating a six-year-old girl’s birthday! She’s the one that loves hammerhead sharks. There are also sea turtles there for Middle Girl. (Field trip following our science projects). Oh just general fun for all! Today’s Weekly Wrap answers a question I’ve gotten a few times lately. I’ve also [...]
We started our week off with the winning news of state fair entries! When we went to pick up our art entries we found the girls’ flower entries had been awarded top prizes. Littlest girl’s rose won a blue ribbon. And Middle Girl’s hydrangea won a blue ribbon, the overall youth award and Best of [...]
If I couldn’t tell it was fall by the weather I surely could tell it by the busy. It’s fair season. Each year we submit art work and flower entries in the North Georgia State Fair. When we went this week to enter our flowers, we saw that the children’s chalk pastels had received ribbons [...]
