homeschool, the braves & mommy’s knight in shining armor

Mommy successfully made it through our first week of homeschool! And today we start another day. Super excited about tomorrow because it’s SOMEBODY’S birthday in our “class”…and we all know when you homeschool that your students birthdays can look way different than in a typical classroom:). It’s going to be fun. We’ll start the morning […]

Hello,
I just started following your blog, but I am truly interested on how you found information and chose what program to go through to home school. I have two kids, hoping of a third by the end of the year and I am stressed about what is the best type of schooling for my soon to be kindergardener. She just turned 4 in April and was moved into the 5 yr old room in July after she past all of her 4 yr old testing with 100%.
I am torn about where to send her for her to have the best education and to be challeneged. What didn’t you like about private school?

I missed out on the retreat last year, but I am determined not to let that happen this year. I’d love to post info on my blog!

It’s been 9 years…

…since I stepped foot into a gym. I thought that was pretty impressive. I broke the record last night–and I signed up for a gym with my 4 kids…one that we can actually do things together at. One that has a really fun play area–so when Rico Suave is out of town for a week…I […]

I loved reading her blog post! Thanks for sharing! And I got your sweet comment on our new number! And guess what? You were right…we’re already “unofficially” number 28!!! I love that that was your first number for Isaac!

We had a little bug birthday and kept things super simple with family and two of his little Ethiopia friends:).

our crazy

Soooo…we survived Friday’s fun with a big family crew over at our house. The most favorite thing…was Aunt Lesa’s little dog. Laney and Frank have put in their requests for a little dog just like this–but I assured them that another puppy would hurt Rosie’s feelings:). I’m sure of it…one dog is plenty for the […]

Happy Birthday Sweet Isaac! What a fun weekend! Thanks for the message back! Things got crazy and then I forgot! Anyway I would still love to call and pick your brain! :)Jenny

HaPpY BiRtHdAy, Isaac!! You have grown so much! I would love to kiss those sweet baby cheeks! : )*

Meredith - August 7, 2011 - 4:27 pm

Love the videos with the jeep. We had a friend offer to give us her son’s old jeep, but I decided against it, since I knew I would never want to spend the money on a new battery. Now, I am regretting my decision. I guess you don’t need a battery after all!

Dawn - August 7, 2011 - 7:49 pm

Totally LOVE the pictures- all the children melt my heart – yours, the Johnson’s, and all the precious little ones from overseas…..all soo precious to HIM!

Happy 2nd Birthday- can’t wait to see the pics 🙂

Love your reality- hey, more fun right?
And the kiddos pushing the car- HILARIOUS 🙂 Have the same feeling towards spending lots of money on the batteries….we don’t have those either.

kristi johnson - August 7, 2011 - 9:01 pm
