Hi to everyone! Hope you're all having a great summer! As you can tell, I've been taking quite a break from blogging, but it's because we've been doing a lot of traveling over the last couple of months. We've had two family beach trips, and Chad and I FINALLY got to go to Charleston for our belated 20th anniversary trip. I'll post on that when I have time. And I still want to show you all the neat stuff I got from sweet Ruthann when I won a give-away over at Sugar Pie Farmhouse. Love you, Ruthann! I just need to slow down long enough to do the pictures...but WOW!
Anyway, I just wanted to pop in to say hi. I'm still reading blogs...just not commenting or posting myself! LOL But while I'm here, let me tell you about a neat give-away over at Joyous Notions. I've subscribed and back ordered past issues of their publication, Seasons At Home Magazine, and I am SO looking forward to receiving them. I plan to use many of the ideas with my 9 yo daughter this upcoming year. Her older twin sisters will be off at college each day (commuting), and she'll be left with three boys. So, I know she and I will enjoy having some 'girl' time. I can't wait to do the "Anne of Green Gables" tea! She loves Anne, so I know she'll love this! Joyous Notions has a monthly give-away for a magazine subscription...so check it out here:
BTW, I am going to use 'Portraits of American Girlhood' with my daughter. I've already gotten it and it looks fantastic. Have any of you used this curriculum? She loves history and the American girls, etc. So we are making a major adjustment in her studies this year. I'm not usually a 'unit study mom', but I think this is the right move for her.
The 12yo is very self-directed, so he'll be fine and stay occupied. But I know my beginning kindergartener and my 3yo will be taking in a lot of what we're doing too. They'll pretty much be all in our business. LOL I'll do a post about our curriculum choices soon.
Well, there are peas to pick, cucumbers to pickle, squash to freeze, and figs to dehydrate. And I'm working on cleaning out the 'junk room' for the two little boys. So have a blessed day and STAY COOL!
I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
I just need to slow down long enough to do the pictures...but WOW!
