In many respects this was a great, if imperfect, week. We had the best day of school we’ve had in ages on Monday. Wednesday with our ‘Art and More with Friends’ group was wonderful. Soccer went really well. M-girl and N-boy were prepared for their piano lessons. Friday went well enough. One of our big…
Back in the saddle. We’ve had a busy week for our final break week – but much of it has been done at home. On Monday, we watched football and were mostly slugs. Well, Jason and N-boy took the dog for a hike. And we took down the Christmas tree. But otherwise we were mostly…
So today, I debate. Is this Weekly Amble a review of this week? Is this Weekly Amble a review of this term? Is this Weekly Amble a celebration of our first year with AmblesideOnline? Because we did it! We finished Year 4. How thankful I am for all we were able to accomplish this year….
Despite a bout of strep throat for one child, we had a really good week of school. We do 9 of 10 days in a two-week rotation, with every other Friday off formal lessons. Friday was our off day … I have Bible Study and the children have other opportunities to play and learn with…
This was the best week of formal school we’ve had since … September? Just reminder to me to remind my readers that homeschooling is hard work.

A New Year should mean a new graphic, right? I loved the green in last year’s, but I think I’ll enjoy the blues for this year. Anyway, on with the show. We had a really good week of school. We accomplished quite a lot in our four days of formal lessons and enjoyed Friday fun….
I feel like every week I tell you how crazy my week was. This week was, well, it was crazy. Shocking, I know. But I really mean it this time. GroveTime went well. We accomplished it all five days. Total win! We did not finish all the reading I had planned for the whole week…
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…
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 am so completely thrilled. This was the week – the homeschool – I hoped for. Oh, it was not perfect. We still had children pushing back over assigned work, some. Monday was the best day of school we’ve had in years. Tuesday was harder. Wednesday, early, we had a “Come to Jesus” moment. Things…
