Our Best Life

11 Oct

We’ve been very excited for this day for a long time now!  Luci has been counting down the days for over a month!  Today is the day that my Baby Luci is turning three! We like to do themed birthdays and for the longest time, Luci couldn’t decide what she wanted the theme to be.  She wanted a pink Rapunzel birthday or a Frozen birthday theme but with a pink cake.  It’s all very serious and confusing for a little two year old!  She finally decided in the week before her birthday - she wanted a Frozen birthday with an...

When it comes to opinions about homeschooling, I think I've probably come a long way in a short time.  Less than one year ago, I was just like the majority of tax-paying parents. My (small-minded) thought was that homeschoolers were either crazy, "crunchy" hippies, and or religious fanatics. I could not understand why someone would choose to homeschool when you were paying school taxes - especially when you live in a top-rated school district.  So what changed? What made us decide to homeschool? I Was Starting to Get Worried With approximately one year until my first child started Kindergarten,...

Luci has been waiting with great excitement to start back to her little Mother’s Day Out program this year.  She is going to be going two days a week.  For the first time, Clark will be staying home, homeschooling, and Luci will be going to school. I think it was a little surprising to her that Clark was not accompanying her this year, but she put on her game face. This year, she actually ended up with the same teacher, in the same room as last year.  I’m hoping this stability will help my sweet little girl become a little more familiar and relaxed in...

It's Banana Swirl! I had the nerve to call this Banana Ice Cream, much to the distress of my 5-year old son.  I was quickly corrected!  He apparently got this idea off a children's TV show, along with the instructions on how to make it.  I had seen it on Pinterest and was curious about it, too, so I decided to try it out with the kids before Clark's incessant requests drove me mad.  The instructions are very simple, but that does not mean the process is so simple!  Oh - and I had Clark watching and correcting me at each step,...

Every once in a while you stumble upon this incredible idea, which is so great in it's simplicity that you seriously wonder why you never thought of it yourself.  This is one of those ideas.  It's not mine.  I came across it while spending my time wisely on Pinterest.   If you have kids, I know you've had this happen.  The kids want to play with bubbles, so you send them outside to play.  I would usually set the bubble container on a table or on the pavement and tell the kids to be careful not to spill it.  Like clockwork, not 30 seconds later, I hear...

Yesterday was Clark's preschool graduation. Preschool gets out a little earlier than the elementary and high schools, thank-goodness!  I've been so excited for this day!  We started at this school as a Mother's Day Out so Clark could have some fun playing with other kids. I was trying to work full-time night shift and somehow manage a newborn. We ended up staying with them because Clark loved it so much. Now here we are on our last day, and then preschool is out forever! My Cameras Have Failed Me My camera has died.  I can't find...
