Here it is ony the middle of November and I am already thinking about next year!  Those you that know me, know that I have been planning my homeschooling years ever since my mother started homechooling my two younger siblings while I was in the 8th grade. I didn't homeschool until my junior year, but I knew what books I wanted to use! So, for nearly 15 years I have enjoyed cruising thru catalogs and educational books. I have some pretty lofty goals and some of them get met...but, I know what direction I want to take my children in and this is a wonderful feeling.

We have really been enjoying our school regimn this year, ok, except for Emily and her Adventures in Phonics book...which she will be done with by Christmas break/ the baby being born, which ever happens first! Last night Daddy 'tested' all the children on their knowledge in school and politics. We were both pleasently surprised at all they knew and had fun hearing some of the answers to things they didn't know. As Mama it was such a relief to know that everyone is up to Daddy's standards! With only 5 weeks and 4 days left until my due date and 4 fun-loving kiddos, one may wonder what in the world actually sinks in and stays! 

You ask what has my thinking ahead when I have several months until my new catalogs arrive and homeschool conventions start up again...I have been reading a most challenging book, form a mother and educator's stand point. The Well-Trained Mind. For those of you that have read it or used any of the Peace Hill Press materials you know how good and challenging these books are. We have been using their Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading and First Language Lessons series. We are loving these books in our homeschool. Now, the WTM is a great encourager...I know that I cannot possibly do ALL that this book suggests, but the ideas are amazing and are bearing much fruit already, both in me and the children. So, I have started thinking of next year already!

So, we are a busy little bunch over here! We are all having a blast learning about New World Explorer's. If you like Unit Studies the Time Traveler series from Homeschool in the Woods is terrific.

OK, now here is a challenge to you ladies, especially my friends! What are you using and why do you like it? I would love feedback! One curriculum I would love to hear about is SOW. In particular from anyone using it with Mystery of History. Please pass this challenge onto anyone you think would be interested in sharing too! The more the merrier!

Have a blessed school day!

For the past week our famly has been in Virginia Beach sharing a beach house with my brother-in-law and his family which includes 5 kiddos the same ages as my four...2- 9 year olds, 2- 7 year olds, 5.5 year old, 4.5 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old, and a 17 month old. The there are the four of us parents...me being VERY pregnant too! We have been having a blast, but boy can it be crazy busy!

We start our days out with a little school, when your cousins are nearby only around a hour to two can get done! Then we play inside, or go to the beach...the last three days it has been raining so the mall has given us a nice play area to hang out at.

We have been so enjoying each other, it was a year in September since our families have been together. You see these 9 kiddos were raised more like sets of twins than cousins for the past 9 years, then the cousins moved to SC. We have missed them SO much! This has been so fun!!!

The logistics of having 13 in one house are pretty amazing to pull off when it isn't second nature...kudos to my friends with much larger families than my own! Laundry times two is one thing, but add in pounds of SAND and it gets wild. Then sweeping, vacumning, and cooking. And boy, dishes....that is a scary place to go to! Dawn and I have been seriously working, but it's been fun to share in the load together...if only we were both pregnant! We used to hit bellies in the kitchen when our famailies lived together!

Tonight is our last night together except for a brief visit they'll pay us on their way thru DC from Maine. That'll be fun!!!

One of our favorite authors has just released his latest book, check it out! If you haven't read these with your family yet, they will love them. Our young family sat on the edge of their seats through every page...ok, well not Bethany, she was only 1 at the time! :)

I am hoping to be 1 of 15 winners for
The Quest for Thunder Mountain 
 on the HSB Company Porch!
You don't want to miss out on this 
great new give-away from the author of
The Terrestria Chronicles

Yesterday I was checking up on my friends posts and over at Sweet Savages my friend Misti gave the recipe for her Pumpkin Pancakes that she tried this past week. Well, let me tell you, they are good! Tonight we had them with scrambled eggs and thick-cut, hickory smoked bacon. YUM! On accident some of my coconut oil didn't melt when being added and it was floating in the batter, so I 'fried' a little batter in it and Oh my! It was better tahn a funnel cake at the fair!!! And I love those :) Go check out her blog and give these a try! You will love them!

Well folks, we are officially traveling again. For now anyway...

Our family is on a temporary job in the Washington DC area, living in the City of Rockville, MD. We know this area pretty well as we have spent probably 4 years cumulitively here in the 10 years of our marriage. Our oldest was born here, our second was inutero here, our third came as a one-year old several times, and our fourth spent 3 months of her first year here. Now we will have our fifth here Lord willing! You would think we liked it here or something!  Not so sure about that, but for places to be there sure are a lot of things to do here.

Being here in DC again is neat and even neater to have so many amazing field trip oppurtunities. We are planning to see the Archives and all the memorials once again, but will add a trip to the American History Museum in Nov/Dec., the International Spy Museum, Ford's Theater, the Natural History Museum, the Air and Space Museum, Gettysburg, Manassas, Mount Vernon, and Arlington Cemetary. We will probably visit several nature preserves around our area as well. So much of this is free and there are nearly no places like this at home in Kentucky. We'll see how much my 30 week preganacy will allow, the rest will have to wait for baby "J" to join us!

Which brings me to the rest of my post...

We are finally actually doing our American History units and we are having a blast! Up til now we covered various American History topics via living books and a few videos. This satisfied our hours requirements, but no where near our mental desires. Neither mine, nor the childrens! So, as money finally allowed I bought the Time Travelers Unit Studies from Homeschool in the Woods. There are 4 CDs to the series and you print your desired pages and teacher's manual form them.  I really like being able to pick and choose and customize our studies. So far everyone loves it!We have made maps, charts, the frame to a lapbook that we will put together next week, limeys (to share a scurvy cure!), fruit leather, knot making, and today we'll make charts for the anatomy of a ship. The first CD which we are doing is New World Explorers. Columbus, Cabot, Magallan, and many more are the hot topics and we'll play piratopoly which will make my little guys SO happy!

So much has been going on around here...so at the request of my friend Carri, I will give everyone an update.

It is August here in Kentucky. The weather has turned hot for the past two weeks, but overall this summer has been so mild and beautiful. I love the sunshine, the green trees, and the cicadas serenading us to sleep. Baseball season has ended, it was a super fun run for us. We had three playing ball this spring and our 7-year old, Jeremiah, made all-stars. He had a blast! And we all really enjoyed cheering for him. Bethany still asks...Baseball? pease.....!

I am potty training Bethany, which has been going so good! Thank you Jesus! She has been in panties now for two weeks with NO accidents in the past week and a half. This hasn't been the easiest but SO much easier than numbers one and three! I have also been super motivated to get her out of diapers before the baby is born in December. If things stay going like they are we are in good shape! The plan is no diapers and falling asleep in a child-free bed...we all know that with four little ones you are just not going to wake up with out at least one little somebody in bed!

We started school Monday. All went without a hitch and I think that we have a group of eager learners this year. We have a fourth grader, first grader, and Kinderkid this year. Not to mention a super smart 2 year old! I am super excited to do American History this year, especially as, hint hint here is some more news, we will be moving to DC for seven month starting in October! We have always loved that area and it holds so much fun for learning about our nation!

We will have an ultrasound on Thursday and if Baby wants, we will know what our little one will be. I am very excited! This is only the second time we will know before D-day. Usually I love the anticipation, but this time I have to pack up before having babykins and therefore not only is it just to cool to know, but super helpful too! Kinda hoping Baby is a girl, but we just like babies around here and arn't picky at all!  :)

Jesse has been traveling a lot lately and it is still hard as we just arn't willing to make it a way of like for our family to be seperated all the time! So, with God's help I will make it till October.

On a more somber note...The Lord called home a very special yound man in our church family. Joshua Aaron Hingle went to be with Jesus Monday afternoon. He death was accidental and very much a tragedy. We loved Josh greatly and our lives will be less full with him gone, but always more full for God having blessed our lives with him. Please join us in prayer for the Hingle family as they seek the Lord as the heal.

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Spring is here with birds singing, flowers blooming in all their glory, green springing forth everywhere...ahhh

With spring comes so many things, Life...it springs forth from the earth. Animals bring forth their young. Rain sprinkles...or pours as the case is here, down on the ground. Spring is such a time of renewel....and homeschool catalogs, conventions, and conferences. hmm.....

Many homeschoolers battle the winter blahhhssss....not all of us, but it is common for Mom to start thinking, " what'll I do different next year...."

I love curriculum, in fact I would love to make money devolping curriculum, helping others find their perfect fit, and so forth....maybe a future...anyways! While I have always been happy at the end of the year, this year I have noticed a need for our ' school' to shift gears a bit....

How you may ask...well, that is still out to the jury, me of course! OK and my darling hunk of a hubby!

We have always taught from a literature and cuddling, reading time sort of foundation....my own spin on Before 5 in a Row, and a bit of Konos mixed in....I LOVE BOOKS! I want to pass this on...

With our lively little 21 monrh old in the house I have discoevered the need for a bit less structured learning approach, that is if ours was ever very formal! :)

Bethany wants to do school too!

So..........this year I am exploring new options....I love Winter Promise, but our budget is MUCH tighter than in the past...sell those school unused books mama!!!!....So, in the consideration is all the interesting Read-Alouds and Readers...as per reading level and lapbooks and perhaps notebooking which we found so fun during Mystery of History...considerations are out on All-American History for a base to start with....Oh, we will be most positively dive into the history of our country, FINALLY!!!!

In other news,

The Lord has so blessed our best friends and neighbors the Hingle family! You can read more about the situation they have been going through lately over at homeschoolblogger.com/sweetsavages there is also a photo of their family. The Hingle's are such beautiful, God focused people...please keep them in prayer and consider helping their need. Thank you!

God Bless you and goodnight!

Ashley....busy as usual!

My favorite magazine, The Old Schoolhouse, is having a giveaway! Oh my!!!! If you have ever read the articles...yes, gotten past the beautiful cover and the adds that can make you drool, there are the most splendid articles. I nearly devour my magazine when it arrives! It is an inside joke around here that mom will disappear for atleast a few hours while she 'checks out' her latest issue. And the funny thing is that it is true! I head upstairs and turn thru the pages, searching for which article will be first for I NEVER read from front to back! Then I'll resurface for awhile...only to carry my trustey magazine on every shopping trip and library reading time available! Wow! I really am a homeschool mom and groupy!

Blessings, and if you haven't check out this publication, please take advantage of this new offer.

Spring is finally here!!!

The trees have buds, the birds are singing, I can wear sandles....I love this time of the year. Everything is so fresh and clean, it is like a new baby....I love them too!

Baseball season is cranking up over here...finally to the kiddos! The two oldest have started their practices and T-ball for Joshy-squashy will start up in the next few weeks. It is so fun to have the baseball bags laying around- big fake grin here! , and super-tired kiddos dropping to bed at night- real grin now!

I am also starting to figure out our school plans for next year. This is always excited for me and everyone else kinda just goes...it must be spring, mom's got here catalogs out again! We have always used Sonlight with Singapore math and A Reason for Handwriting with other add-ons like Mystery of History and some Leap pad fun. This year we are trying to decide on Winter Promise or Sonlight. We are going to do American History for the first time with our children. We are all pretty excited!

We have had some new devolpments on the home front. My husband has been traveling A LOT as of late...we all hate this...we are accepting it as the Lord's will but that doesn't seem to help us like it any more. We are very partial to our father around here. :) We hope this is very temporary...there has been a rumor of this lasting until September, we are praying for June/July instead. We are praying for the Lord's continued leading in our future.

Well, I am off to take up where we left off before spring break...we took a break for a wedding. My next post will be about the blessing of marrying in God's timing...until then, Blessings! Go enjoy those kiddos! I know I will!

Today we had a pretty school day. Nothing super abnormal about it; as we sat to read the bible this morning things were actually very abnormal...at least for our family. My husband had just left for Warner Robbins, GA for four days. This had left us in a bit of a funk...it really showed up as we tried to push past our 'sorrows' and get busy. Joshua didn't care to do his 'school' which is normal until he gets going and then has a blast, Bethany was climbing into all of our chairs trying to do our schoolwork, Jeremiah was lamenting the seperation with his daddy, and Emily was just trying to shut all the distractions out! I began to notice my voice growing steadily louder trying to  read over the hubbub of our kitchen bar. This is very frustrating as well as unpleasent, particularlly while bearing in mind that you have only begun todays read alouds! At this point I knew that I had to gain control or I would set a grumpy mood for the entire day. To say that this was easy...well, who would I be kidding! Which got me to thinking....

In our home we have a SUPER busy 20-month old. Bethany is capable of so much more in such a short time than any of our other blessings combined! As usual, I am getting our school day going by reading our Bible passages for the day as the children color and complete handwriting. This could only take, oh, 10-15 minutes, but as we read we find ourselves stopping every so often to right a chair, correct someone, or just general homeschool chaos control! Even I forget what we were trying to read sometimes. We have been training in this area in particular...I'll let you know when I begin to reap the rewards for my labors! It is amazing to think that while teaching my children the ways of the Lord and have to work to not 'break' some of the fruits of the Spirit! I thank the Lord for his patience and continual guidence!

Homeschooling is such a wonderful blessing. I am totally thankful and grateful that He chose me to nurture and teach these little ones. This path of motherhood is SO worth our time, energy, and sacrifice. While not always easy, I would choose NOTHING to take its place!

Bless all of you and have a great night! I am going to go read to my jewels....Thank you Lord!

OK, after a handful of my friends letting me know that my comment function wasn't working I think I finally have it fixed! We'll see!!!!

We are having lots of fun this weekend, Nana is here for a visit along with Aunt Bri. The kiddos are all SO excited! We had 'Christmas' in late-January! Lots of fun gifts and surprises...everyone loves there new flashlights, backpacks, and polarfleece goodies!

With that I am off for now, gotta go spend some quantity and quality time with my mama!

It has been far to long since I have posted anything, but now I am back!

Many of my friends write Christmas letters, and while I have only ever heard about them, and never actually read one, I am going to start a new tradition....New Year's Letters! OK, so maybe this isn't new, but it is for me!

I am going to start with January 07 and share the awesomeness of God in our family over the past 13 months.

Amelia Island, FL- Jan. O7

We spent the end of 06 and beginning of 07 on this quant little island in nothern Flordia. We had a third story condo one block off the Atalntic coast. We spent our morning reading aloud and learning. Our afternoons were spent on the beach. We hunted sharks teeth (found 83), beachcombed for shells, obseved jelly fish, starfish, and seaweed. It was a wonderful time of wonder and we had family working there with us. Bethany learned to walk, got some teeth, started some scripture memory work, and enjoyed the New Year with family lighting off fireworks! Praise the Lord!

Orlando, FL- Feb. 07

We spent the next 6 months or so in Orlando. We finished up our school year and spent several hours at the pool and our weekends at the beach. We came back to Kentucky BROWN! No denying the Indian blood flowing thru our veins!!!

Kentucky....

In June we moved home to Kentucky and have been here ever since. We adopted two kittens and got a wonderful little dog. Our children have been spending the last 7 months exploring the woods, swimming at the lake, playing in our creek, mowing grass, taking care of animals, and helping to finish our home. We have grown as a family, and while the season here is coming to a close for awhile, we are all grateful for the time He has given us and are looking forward to our return back in the near future. We are not going to sell our home, but will be traveling agin until the Lord guides us in starting a business here in Kentucky.

In school Emily has enjoyed reading her readers to herself and advancing in Math. Her writing is amazing, maybe we have an authoress in the family! Jeremiah has started reading and settled in to a 'school-groove'. He is a Math Brain!  Joshua has flurished with phonics. A big help for us was the Leap Frog LetterFactory. He now knows all his letters, sounds, and can write. He has also started reading three letter words. Bethany has enjoyed doing 'school' too and loves to listen to us read. I am such a proud mama! You kiddos really ROCK! 

Now I am busy sorting thru stored items in our shed and finding place for everything. It is a fun sort of pain to deal with 'stuff' , but I am enjoying finding all the things I didn't even know we had!

Our house has really come a long ways in the last 7 months. We are living upstairs, finishing bathroom #3, trimming out the kitchen cabinets, hanging pictures, and enjoying having a place to call home. Jesse has been so busy with all of this, but is getting back to chip carving and reading his 'deep' books. I am getting back to sewing, knitting, and studying midwifery. It has been so fun!

I had better run, God Bless you all and enjoy your new year!

Hello everyone!

Last night was so much fun! You know the kind of fun we homeschool mom's , most of at least one handful of children and pets!, can have together...I attended a Mom's Tea with my friends at the local homeschool group. There were 8 of us in the circle last night. We spent 4 hours chatting, eating, and laughing. What a wonderful evening! Misti over at SweetSavages and Carri over at The Peterson Clan we in attendence...we have a lot of fun together! Anyhow, another mom taught us...those that could learn anyway...how to Paper Embroider. It is so pretty and easy! I think I am onto a new hobby for me and my 8-year old, Emily. You don't need any 'crafting talent' and the direcrions are easily found on the web. If you have been looking for a CHEAP card making idea, this would be it! 

Have a great weekend ladies and chat with you again soon!

Ashley....the wanna- be SuperMom!  :)

Hello ladies...

A few days ago I was reading a friends blog and she brought up some really great phonics helps...Leap Frog Letter Factory and Word Factory. A few years ago I borrowed these from my sister-in-law and my kiddos loved them. So, I bought myself a set and so far the kids have really enjoyed them. My reluctant 6-year old son has taken of reading his little 'Bob' style books! YIPPEE!!! It may have just happened at the same time, but either way I am one happy mama and he is one super happy little guy!

Have a great evening!

Ashley

Hello everyone!

It is so crisp and cool this morning...OK, COLD!!!! At least I can say that the frost is melting already due to sunshine that has been hard to come by this past week. Oh, how I love the Sun!

I am looking forward to a good school day today...taking our time and relaxing while learning...hopefully it will go something like that! Last night I was greatly encouraged by a friend when we found out we were slowly, but surely plugging away at our school and that we were both on week 10 in our IG! God is so good, always dropping in with a friend to lift us up and help us through.

Here is a little something to chew on! This is some hearty , spiritual meat! To be faithful...in the Lord means to be faith FULL! This is an area the Lord blessed me in and last night He shared that thru a brother as we were praying for a Brother that has been in heavy spritual battle...we can pray faithfully, but are we praying for him full of faith?  If were are just being faithful, it is in our own strength, like brushing our teeth and eating well or exercising, but to bring God glory, to be effective and move those mountains we need to be FULL of Faith.

My sister-in-law has written a Homeschool planner/ledger. It is beautiful and very well done. Her work has been labor of love and she wants to share it in the homes of as many as she can. The cost is $28 well spent dollars. If you are interested, contact me or email her at mominjesus1@aol.com

The sun is growing brighter and my kitchen noisier as kiddos come searching for morning fill me ups. God Bless and have a great day!

Ashley

Hello again!

It has been awhile since I have added anything here, but I am back! We have had a busy few weeks around here. We got caught up after the flu hit, just in time to move upstairs...the day before our out of town family came for Thanksgiving, the night that the oven caught on fire! Yes you read that right! Our oven element caught on fire and melted the Sunday before Thanksgiving! And I was hosting my family's get-together...but my wonderful hubby sent me to buy a new one on Tuesday! I got the last model that matched my other appliances, which have been discontinued. Thank you Jesus!

So, we got moved upstairs and got the new oven, and then we had a blast with my folks, grandparents, and my little brother and sister, who by the way arn't so little anymore! (17 and 20). We had a great Thanksgiving that included my in-laws, brother-in-law, his wife, and her sister, added to our already large numbers. So for my first Thanksgiving we had 19 happy eaters! We spent the rest of the day visiting, watching my kiddos antics, and rubbing our ROUND bellies! It was great!

Now, we are slowing down a bit and catching our breath. Company is great, but I am relishing lounging in my PJs in the morning again! hahaha

Bless you all and blog with you again soon!

I am finally back...to what you may ask....the world of the peaceful sleeping family members with calm tummies and NO buckets in sight. We just had a week of 'FLU', not one if our numbers managed to escape, well unless you include the animals! Yuck, what a horrible bug. I am very glad we missed our friends 'Fall Festival' when we thought that all was well.

We are back to school today. We had fun cuddling and reading inbetween trips to the bathroom, but alas, it is time to resume our daily ritual of the three R's and some Charlotte Mason fun.

This week proves to be both fun and challenging. We have company, my mom and sister, we'll be getting back in to our goove, and I have a task of retraining a few things in the ranks! I will be getting my new countertop today and hopefully the carpet man will call and tell me good news. If all goes as planned...we'll be upstairs by Thanksgiving! Yahoo!!!

I had best be going for. Have a great day and God Bless!

Homeschool catalogs are awesome! I love when I check the mail and find a new catalog...I look at all the pages....usually with a pen in hand, noting all the fun new things I want to add to our shelves!  My favorites are my yearly catalogs from Sonlight and Rainbow Resources. I spend my evenings noting and jotting all my ideas and needs. I always feel like I have bought whatever it is I have been looking at! It is fun...the next best homeschool thrill is going to a convention...that is fun! I always make sure to have a list of what I need to buy and my budget with the cash in hand. My other favorite catalog is Vision Forum, which came Saturday! Yippee!!! On the inside cover there was a page with pictures of all the past catalogs...my husband was like , ' Wow, we have had every catalog!" It was very funny. I guess we are book junkies!                  I can't wait to get my magazines now!

Today has been lovely...delightfully crisp air and yet warm and sunshiny! I love the Autumn, especially here in Kentucky. We have been outside all day and loving it.

The kiddos have been building a petting zoo over the last few weeks. Complete with a stone path and a polar bear! (this is my mom's Westie) They have been working everyday for hours; building, raking, laying rock, you name it! I join them or watch from my kitchen window. It is such a blessing to see them working so hard and in a terrific enviornment. Safe from the wiles of suburun and city life here in our little valley. Praise the Lord!

Work is coming along on our house...we'll be ready for carpet and paint in under 3 weeks! I never thought I would see this day...the Lord is good!

Homeschooling with a BUSY baby is interesting to say the least! Bethany is such a joy to our family...we so enjoy her and love following her around as she discovers new things and tries our new feats! She is definetly our most adventurious child yet! She is always joining us in our homeschool, which is really fun, unless you are explaining a math problem yet one more time!

We are really settling down into a routine...that is awesome!

I am looking forward to a new week and seeing what God has in store for us...enjoy those little bundles and big helpers this week as you direct them unto God.

Blessings, Ashley
