    The last few weeks have been quite the evolution for us regarding homeschooling.  Chris and I have had many discussions about what teaching our daughters means for my schedule and time, and how that relates to our goals for the future.  I also came to the realization that I don’t want to be an island.…

    I thought I would take a little time to go into further detail on our daily activity/circle time routine this year.  I mentioned in my post last week that we have expanded calendar to include more writing and weather to include a discussion of temperature, and to also talk about time.  We are still doing…

    Everyone was back to school this week and so were we.  I took last week off intentionally to plan and prep our activities for the first half of the year and started Monday super excited about getting back into school with a new plane and routine.  Nora was pretty excited too and had fun helping…

    This week marked the official start of our adventures in schooling.  We are still very much on the fence about what we will do when kindergarten rolls around — whether we’ll be doing homeschool or one of the two private schools — so for preschool we decided to do a combination of the two.  Nora…

    One of the reasons I am much more in the holiday spirit this year is because it is an extra excuse for making crafts, and because of how much Nora enjoys those crafts.  We’ve made a few of the traditional art projects (tissue paper wreath bring back any holiday memories?) and we’ve been making things…

    Nora’s barely two and, all of a sudden, all I can think about is school.  It seems a little crazy and a lot ridiculous; five is just so far away, isn’t it?   Or maybe it isn’t.  Because before we even start thinking kindergarten, we have to think preschool, registration for which happens the February…
