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...

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...

We’ve been reading the book The Glorious Flight as part of our Five in a Row curriculum.  This is an awesome curriculum based on classic children’s literature in which you read one book for 5 days in a row.  Each day, you focus on a different subject from the book. The Glorious Flight is the story of the Frenchman, Louis Blériot, who worked for many years to build an airplane.  After many efforts and many failures, he was finally able to fly across the English Channel, winning a contest in the process. I had chosen this book specifically because for weeks Clark had been asking...

Clark lost his first tooth!  It was surprisingly uneventful, without days or even weeks of telltale wiggling, in fact without any drama whatsoever.  He just surprised me one morning as I came home from work, holding a little baby tooth.  He was excited and so was I, except for that tiny little voice in the back of my head that whispered like it always does, “Look at young handsome little boy!  He’s growing up so fast!” The crafty side of my brain immediately goes to Pinterest and all of the cute, fun ideas for celebrating the loss of the first tooth,...

Actually, we are not going back to school – we homeschool, but handwashing is just as important in the home as in school.  In fact, if it is not taught and enforced at home, you can be quite sure that it won’t be happening while at school. This is our Yearly Refresher Course About a year ago, I had done this exercise with Clark and Luci (read the the blog post here) to teach them how to beat the bugs with proper handwashing.  They had both really enjoyed it at the time and they still vividly remembered it. I hadn’t planned on doing...

Seriously.  For my family, this is what homeschooling is all about!  It’s about having the freedom to do what you want, when you want.  I love that we don’t have to worry about getting up at a certain time, or going to bed at a certain time.  I don’t have to arrange my day around when school starts and when it ends.  We don’t have to waste time in car pool lines, and we don’t have to spend our evenings working on homework. Time is valuable and I love that I get to maximize my time with my family. Today, for...
