Back to School

Goals for the Week

Now that the play is over, I’m itching to make some changes and get more of our usual homeschool fun going.
Life will still be chaotic enough.  Tomorrow the girls are auditioning for “Beauty and the Beast” here in town.  Rehearsals run all week with the performance on Friday night, so it will be a very […]

Plans for the day

We’re planning to get together with another HS family at a nearby state park today.  There’s a lot to explore and some fun places there, so it should be a nice day.  The weather is a bit surly right now so hopefully it won’t storm!
Other plans for the day…

Making memories

I try to have my kids have at least one memorable/magical thing happen every day.  It certainly doesn’t always happen but I like the idea of making every day count (for us grown ups too) and I want them to look back on their childhoods and remember more than just a blur of days.  It […]
