As you know I was at the Great Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati almost two weeks ago. It was a wonderful time of learning, encouragement, and being surrounded by like-minded friends. Perhaps you know that I don’t stay down at the Duke Energy Center all weekend; I don’t get a hotel room and stay downtown. Rather,…
It was our first week back! [phew] We had a very productive week. A few struggles here and there, but when people are together all the time, you have to think they’ll rub each other wrongly from time to time. You just hope they don’t do so on purpose. Which, sadly, they do. So we…
For Today… Monday, January 9, 2017 Looking out my window … between the sky and ground, it’s grey and white. And frigid. I am thinking … that my husband is smarter than I am (no surprise there). He chose to hire movers for the hand-me-down sectional from my parents and that was so smart. They…
Two years ago, now, I was fed up. I was broken and burnt out. Mostly, it was my own fault, I admit. I was trying to do two full philosophies – one for me and one for others, and that just doesn’t work. Anyway, I think the series was some of the most important writing…
Last week was the final week of our term. WooHoo! We finished strong. We walked almost every morning before school. We did Whatchamacallit every day.

Finally, I get to write about this week. phew. Three Weekly Ambles in one week is a lot. I’m glad to catch up, though. Monday was awful. Everything took so very long. Children were still doing lessons at 6:30. Jason was coming home after bedtime. I was frustrated and upset and just do your work…
We had a good week of school this week, but that’s likely because it was rather light as the school work goes. We’ve now finished Week 8 of AmblesideOnline Year 5. This week was the second of two weeks of swim lessons for the children. M-girl and N-boy both finished the “Fish” level and R-girl…
For Today… Looking out my window … the thunderstorms have finished rumbling through but the ground and sky shows evidence of their early morning activity. I am thinking … about waking the children up. I’d like to let them sleep in after their week at camp, but it’s swim lesson week, so they’ll need to get…
