BLOG

I am really excited to be guest-posting on a regular basis on one of my favorite blogs, My Joy-Filled Life. Today, my article, “Studying the Masters of Classic Art: Vincent Van Gogh” will be featured and you’re going to want to read it. This is such a fun and SIMPLE way (I’m all about quick and easy!) to learn about famous artists. The best news is the curriculum is FREE for the summer!!! Be sure to read the article to find out how you can get the curriculum and have fun with your kiddos! My children absolutely loved it, so we will be...

Happy 4th of July to all of our American Readers!  Our holiday plans were rained out and I was just coming off of a series of three 12 hour night shifts, so there wasn’t much activity going on at our house today.  Any time we are confined indoors, however, the children are always happy to experiment with an art project.  So today we learned hw to make a patriotic firework painting with a fork! Here's What You'll Needed This project is quick, simple and fun – because you really can’t mess up!  We gathered together black construction paper, paints, a plastic fork...

My hairdresser works out of her own home. She lives out in the country, down a few long, winding roads, lined with farms. As you drive along, horses and cattle come running to the fence to witness the excitement of a vehicle passing. I love the tranquility of that drive. It makes me fantasize of living in the country and each time, I deliberately look around for houses with For Sale signs. As I arrive at my hairdresser’s home, I am greeted by 3 or 4 lazy dogs, who barely recognize that I’ve arrived – they’re too busy basking in the hot...

I get the whole frugality thing - I really do. I love a good deal as much as anybody, but you will never find me clipping coupons. There are a million reasons why I will never be a Coupon Queen! In order to give you a little perspective, I’m going to give you a little glimpse into my younger years. I was raised with 14 brothers and sisters. Need I say more? Obviously it was a one-income family, and even more obviously there was very little money. The lack of money was not something that I was acutely aware of, but I as I...

We have been fascinated for the past several weeks as we’ve watched a very special bald eagle family from Hanover, Pennsylvania, build their nest in preparation for their new family. This is our second year, witnessing the birth of a new bald eagle family and we are in love! Catch the Live Feed The Pennsylvania Game Commission has partnered with HDonTap to provide us with a live feed so that we can enjoy watching the eagles’ activities day and night, using night vision! I can’t think of a better way to get the children engaged and learning about the habits of these awesome birds than by watching them...

We’ve been learning about dinosaurs for the past couple of weeks. We went on a field trip to visit a local nature preserve that had a display of animatronic, life-sized dinosaurs, which needless to say completely captivated the imagination of my children and we’ve been discussing these animals ever since! How cool are these? I mean, I was kind of fascinated, too! These dinosaurs moved, glared at you, roared, and even sprayed venom (maybe it was just water, but the kids were pretty sure it was poisonous) at us. We even had the opportunity to climb on them and check out their teeth! How...
