Happy 4th Birthday Luci!
My baby girl, Luci is turning 4 years old! It’s my baby’s birthday and I’m making this about me. I have never been one of those Moms who falls to pieces with every milestone. If that’s you, don’t take offense, it’s probably just my own personal defense mechanism so that I don’t have a public breakdown because of all the things that I miss as a working Mom. For real. But in the meantime, as other Moms were wiping their tears as they dropped their babies off at Preschool, I was high-tailing it home so I could get an awesome nap...

Field Trip to the Fort Worth Zoo
This was our first experience with a “Homeschool Day” field trip to the Fort Worth Zoo, and I just have to say WOW! Homeschoolers show up! I have been to the Fort Worth Zoo several times, but I have never seen it so incredibly busy! Way to go, Homeschoolers! The timing couldn’t have been more perfect because next week is Luci’s birthday and she has been asking to go to the zoo for her birthday. So, when I saw the Fort Worth Zoo was having a Homeschool Day with a nice little discount, we decided to go this week! Neither Clark...

This all changed several months ago, when it was suggested to me that I try taking some enzyme supplements as part of my wellness routine. Curious, I started taking some dietary enzymes and was so excited about the results and how I felt, that I started digging around to learn more about them. I wanted to learn all about enzymes and why they are so important. Now, with a little knowledge under my belt, I’m convinced that everyone...

5 Ways to Nurture a Loving Sibling Relationship
From the moment I learned that I was pregnant with my second child, my thought and hope has been that my children would be best friends. Not just as children, playing together, but as they grow into the teenage years and into adulthood. I want them to forge a lasting, loving friendship that will provide each other with support and understanding when they need it most. We Have to Create Our Own Reality Having grown up in a very large family, I was more than familiar with sibling rivalry - the bickering and the arguing that goes on between siblings. I was...

Field Trip to the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas
Today we went on a field trip to the Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas. It was such a great day! A little confession: I think I might enjoy our field trips more than Clark and Luci do! The Glorious Flight Study We’ve been studying the award winning children’s story, The Glorious Flight as part of our Five in a Row curriculum. The Glorious Flight tells the story of Louis Blériot’s efforts in the early 1900s to build a flying machine. Clark, especially, has taken a real interest in airplanes, so we went to the library and got every book we could about...
