This week has been so busy that I am having a hard time remembering Monday. [phew] We did our Couch to 5k on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It has been perfect weather for it. We did GroveTime every day this week. We read sections from Ps 119 as well as Judges 7 about Gideon. We…
September?! Say it isn’t so! We had a good week. Most of the time. That’s the joy of writing a weekly review like this. The moments can be frustrating. Seriously frustrating. Our plans and idyllic imaginings can get derailed as we deal with the issues and frustrations of living and learning with the same people…
We had a week that improved as it went on. It started out rough, as it often does, and improved to Friday’s excellent day. Sometimes in homeschooling that groove is important. I was so thankful that I had done planned out the week for both Circle Time and the rest of our lessons. I want the…
So, I did one of these posts about a month ago in July, then we went on vacation. We had a week of preparation, where we did some lessons, cleaned, and packed. We had the week of vacation itself, which was a wonderful time. We came home and had a pre-planned reset week where we…

You probably know that I was on vacation with no internet last week because Anna did a fabulous job hosting Wednesdays With Words from her new (beautiful) internet home Little Drops of Water. We were on a Disney cruise. A generous gift. It was wonderful and relaxing, and frankly I didn’t think about the post…
We did our first full week of school in months this week. All spring and summer so far it seems like a child has got some sort of vomiting sick, I got shingles, or the week was just crazy and we’d get one or two days of school in. One of the big negatives of…
I’m in Cincinnati today, but thought I’d post about what I consider the essentials for attending one of the GHC conventions. I’ve been attending this particular convention for probably 8 years. Heather and I went when it was at a multi-campus church and several years together at the Duke Energy Center. I’ve gone the last…
My friend Heather asked me what worked in our first six weeks of the Big Changes we made for our Homeschool this year. So, this is a good time to think through the good and the bad; the challenges. Almost everything is good. I’ve posted an update each week in which I’ve gushed about how…
