Having a Bad Day?
A New Scripture Printable
One of my favorite verses. It is clear and simple. Rejoice in Him who loves us!
Summertime Organization
Organizing always “sounds good” but when does anybody really have time for that? So I am taking this Summer to get organized, again! This time I decided to start over, put everything together in one place. I took everything out of drawers and off of shelves, threw it in a huge pile and then sorted. Putting everything back in a perfect spot has taken some time. This is one of the first ‘AFTER’ areas… I finally have all the homeschool teaching materials in one spot. Also the bookshelf on the right is holding non-fiction books for the kids. I have another half bookshelf with kids fiction and then 1 more…
A Happy Father’s Day
We love celebrating Daddy in our house, so Father’s Day is just another opportunity to show him how much he means to us. This Father’s Day we got him something that the boys have been asking for and so has Daddy. A good old-fashioned BB Gun. I didn’t just get any gun either, I bought him a Classic Daisy Red Rider BB Gun! I was excited just buying it. Of course we could have chosen from any number of semi-automatics, ones with scopes but I just had to get the classic. Plus I did read how it is unbeatable for kids just learning, since I knew our 8 year would be…
Learning All About Adjectives
This year we started exploring adjectives and of course, I headed straight to Pinterest for some inspiration. I came across this poster, I really liked it, I made one right away. It originally came from this blog post. She has other super great ideas on teaching adjectives. I have since explored this blog and I absolutely love it! It is called Step Into Second Grade. It is full of inspiration, this teacher is incredibly creative and helpful! So here it is, my adjectives poster: I made some others too, one for verbs and one for capital letters. I keep them in a huge spiral bound flip chart. Comes in handy, saves space…
Organizing School and Office Supplies
This Summer I am revamping everything I have organized since we moved in. We have a super small place and I want another fresh start. I am going to get rid of so much stuff, I can’t wait! I started going through all the paperwork we have, I was surprised to get rid of so much. We had a lot we didn’t really need. That felt great and was a good start to total organization. Next I am working on organizing and storing school supplies and office supplies. Here is my 3rd graders desk : After I organized the kids items, each in their own desk, I started on my…

A Taste of Summer
4 Days at the Lake – that is what we did this past weekend. The boys ran, explored, fished, and played at the beach. They loved every minute. Preston says his favorite part was the s’mores, lol. There is really nothing like the taste of a perfectly browned marshmallow. We ate delicious food like hot dogs, cheeseburgers, cherries, grapes, cheese and of course, s’mores. We learned that Preston is a natural fisherman. We stayed in a cabin by the lake. Dinner: Rib-Eye, Hot Dogs and Corn Oliver roasting marshmallows The boys enjoying a ride on the lake with my cousin and his totally cool boat. Cousins creating art with markers and paper, the…
