In the middle of September we did a photo shoot to take new school pictures. I stole borrowed the idea of the apples and school books from Shawni. We love how they turned out! Beats boring old school pictures any day. For memory’s sake I am also including what core curriculum we are using this […]
Because it’s fun . . .
…to tie dye t-shirts for the bookmobile craft. …to clean the kitchen dressed as a fifties housewife. This girl is such a hoot! I came in from working outside to find her dressed like this. “What, Mom? It’s more fun to clean this way!” …to ride in the loader with dad while he hauls hay. […]
Hyalophora columbia
We misidentified our caterpillar! Thanks to Michael from Wormspit who let us know our caterpillar is a Hyalophora columbia, which is often mistaken for a Cecropia. As we delved deeper into our research we found some clues that we should have looked at before making a final identification of our caterpillar. 1. Cecropias host mainly […]

March Forth
I’ve come to love this date. Why? It’s an imperative. I pointed this out to my children this morning while doing school. One rolled her eyes, “I hate grammar.” I don’t know why that struck me as funny. Then I went online and discovered today is National Grammar Day. Hilarious! Are you a grammar lover? […]
Cooking with children
“Every child loves to help cook and bake. The magic of mixing ingredients together to produce yummy cookies and getting to spend time with mom or dad in the process of it all creates some fun experiences. It can also become overwhelming when there are too many helpers that create a bigger mess taking more […]
Latter-day Homeschooling.com
