About Me


I began this blog to create an on going yearbook of our homeschool chronicling our highs & lows with photo's and journaling. Through the past few years I have really enjoyed getting to know so many homeschool moms and their families. Being a Homeschoolblogger has been both fun and encouraging. Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy getting to know us and how we learn at home!

Freebie from The Old Schoolhouse!




Just as we begin our new school year,  The Old Schoolhouse is offering a wonderful e-book to help us get off on the right foot!  And it's FREE!

The opening article by Karen Sargent (homeschool to mom to 4 graduates and 1 still at home) was encouraging and the "special OPS" section looks especially good to me.  You can get your free download here:
 
The New School Year - Planning your Course and letting the Lord determine your Steps

Library Books


Where would a homeschool mom be without the local library?  And I love (and take advantage of) the great invention of inter-library loans! 

I recently borrowed the book "What to Read When" and through it found several fun book suggestions for Jesse & Joshua's age group!



(image borrowed from Amazon)




Joshua and I have enjoyed these books this week:

Captain Duck is about a mischievous duck who takes his friends on a wild boat ride.




Penelope Nuthatch's day does not turn out as she expected too!




I Like To Be Little is a little girls reasons why she is in no hurry to be a grown-up.  (There is a page about dressing up for Halloween).

Guess Again! Riddle Poems

We are having a lot of fun this week reading Guess Again! Riddle Poems by Lillian Morrison.




"Where it comes from
 there's no knowing.
You can kill it
but it keeps on going."


I borrowed this book from our local library (I heart the library!) and everyone is getting in on the fun of guessing the riddles.  Jesse really likes it when he's the first one to get the correct answer!  Have you figured out the answer to the riddle poem above?

Highlight the answer here:  
TIME
'(to highlight the answer, press and hold the left button on your mouse and scroll over the area)
