It’s Super Bowl Week at preschool and We. Are. Not. Super Bowlers.  We don’t have a single team jerseys. I wouldn't know a team mascot if it hit me in the face. I have no clue what color represents each team.  In fact, I don’t even know who is in the Super Bowl this year!  I’ve had to do some quick internet research in order to properly equip my son for all the activities this week at school.  Thankfully, today, was a more simple task of taking a “Super Bowl snack” to share with the class.  Clark loves cupcakes, so we decided on that.  I...

Mondays are a killer for me.  I work full-time nights. That's 12 hours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then I come home on Monday and try to manage my young children until my husband comes home from work. He will then take over so that I can sleep. Somehow I have to stay awake and functional until he gets home. So far, this is the only way we've figured out how to manage working full time and young children. A couple of years ago, we had an incident that convinced us that we did...

Holidays can often be difficult in our family because of my work schedule.  As a Registered Nurse working in a hospital, I have a requirement to work several Holidays a year.

Yesterday afternoon, we squeezed in our Easter Egg Hunt before I had to leave for work. I semi-hid some plastic eggs with little surprises in them. What I didn't expect was the kids to...

What greater way to finish up our study of jellyfish than a trip to the aquarium?!  We teamed up with a local homeschool group for a nice discount to visit an aquarium downtown. I had been hesitant to visit it because the price was a little crazy, but the homeschool group got an amazing deal and there was no way we were going to turn that down!   Aquarium Scavenger Hunt Before we went, I thought I'd get Clark and Luci a little more engaged by making up a little scavenger hunt for them.  You can download them HERE if...

I'm not too into flash cards, but on a little trip to the Dollar Store yesterday, Luci saw some labeled with "ABC" and got so excited about recognizing the letters that we couldn't resist buying them for her.  I also worry that sometimes I get so focused on Clark's education that she feels left out in the process. This time I got Clark involved and had him show her the cards, while she named the letter and sound.  If she wasn't sure, Clark would help her out.  It was adorable.  Clark got bored quickly, but it was a great interaction.  I...
