It is almost Friday! If your week has been like mine, you’re on your second bottle of wine or box of chocolate (whatever your vice of choice), doing a happy dance, or all three! Today’s post comes at just the right time. Piggy Two has been cutting his 2 year molars, has a bucket of […]

Hello again! I hope you guys have had a great week. We have had family in town and I’ve been a slacker! Most of our family lives far away, so we stop what we are doing when they come for a visit. My husband’s family is from Colorado which means a plane trip for them […]
ABC Chalkboard Bible Memory Verses

This was our second week of homeschool, and I knew right away that I had picked the wrong bible verses for us to use with our “Letter a Week” program. A lot of the things I use with the boys comes from my own alphabet files that have been around for 20 years. I also […]
Two Week Meal Planners

As you can guess by now, I am a planner. I love lists, calendars, folders in folders, and binders. I love basically anything that will keep my life organized. A few months ago I found some meal planners that I loved at first sight over at Sew Much Crafting. I loved everything about these. […]
Our Homeschool Classroom

It has taken us awhile to get our classroom sorted out, but I finally feel like it is somewhat presentable. I’m going to take you on a tour of our cute little “pretend school at home”, as Piggy One calls it. I suppose I don’t mind that he thinks we are “playing” school. I guess […]
Mommy Confession #1

I decided to name this post confession #1, because I have a feeling that this will turn into a regular thing here on the blog. I probably have several confessions I need to own up to a day, but today is a doozy worth blogging about! Today was a Pre-school day for the Piggies. We […]

How many times have you heard someone say, “These are the best (insert baked goods) ever!” Well, these are officially the best chocolate chip cookies ever. Even the cook book says so! Yes, the cook book that holds my family’s coveted chocolate chip cookie recipe is called The New Best Recipes, and the recipes which […]

We have the best neighbors on the planet! You know those annoying people that live next door and complain about everything? Not us! “Those neighbors” don’t live on either side of us. We seriously lucked out! My boys think our neighbors are their Aunt and Uncle. It doesn’t matter that they have different last names. […]
Welcome to Preschool!

Both of my little Piggies are officially in Preschool. If you’re new and you missed my explanation, we are getting our “feet wet” with homeschool on Mondays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, they are in a local church preschool. We are trying to decide what to do when it is time to officially […]
First Day of Home School

We did it! We successfully planned and completed our first day of home school! Honestly, I was overwhelmed with so much material that planning was becoming an impossible task. I finally dug through my old teaching files, looked at some of the new things I had found online, and just jumped in. I put on […]
