Actually, I could title that One and a half down, One hundred seventy-eight and a half to go because as I’m writing this post we’re halfway into Day 2 of the 2012-2013 School Year. Or the “Honeymoon Phase” as I like to call it. They’re both having a good time right now and kind of...
Wow. Y’all, I just can’t seem to get caught up enough to update the blog this week. Since Collin has a day full of meetings and projections in the studio, I’m hoping to maybe get a few posts up here. I hope?? Anyway, I hope you all had a FABULOUS 4th! We had an evening...
I know I say this every time we come to the beach for the week, but I really didn’t mean to let the blog slide for the entire time we were gone. I did it again, though. I rely on our phones for internet here and that doesn’t really work very well. Also, it just...
Maybe I’ve mentioned here once or twice that our Clara Beth is the shyest child on the planet? It’s gotten so much better over the last two years, but I’d still describe my girl as very timid. She rarely speaks when spoken to in public. She’s exactly the way her momma was as a kid....
Wasn’t it just last week that I was writing about how much I loved our pop-up and how it’s my favorite thing we’ve ever purchased for our family? About two days after that we sold the pop-up. All that I said in that post was true. But see, what I didn’t tell you is that...
Congrats on another year! My, now 23 and 25 year old, home schooled kids are still great friends. Even though Melody is married and Josh is engaged, they remain bonded in a special way. I contribute that to 12 years of home education 🙂
Josh had the amazing opportunity to study last semester, as an honors exchange student, in Caen, France. When he listed the top 10 things he missed most about the states, missing his Sister was number 2…..(number 1 was the internet)…I thought that was really sweet! (And of course, his now fiancé was WITH him, studying in Caen, or I am sure she would have knocked Mel to the #3 spot! 🙂
Keep pressing on! Many blessings for an excellent school year!
LOVElovelove it! I NEED CB’s red desk. I have quite the collection of desks going thanks to my antique obsession of late, but none of them are quite right. Thankfully, we’re going to an antique show/open air market this weekend that specializes in mid-century modern pieces. :D:D:D Hoping to snag something awesome. I love the clock idea and the giant maps.
We have a room of sorts going in the basement that I know we will never use. The dining room table just seems to work. :/
My plan was to start June 1(then pushed back to July 1) but that hasn’t happened. I’m aiming for September 1 at this point!
I look forward to many more posts about successful homeschooling. 🙂
Love hearing you describe their relationship and how they interact! (and I love that you are organized enough to start school now!) Still a bit jealous that I dont have the patience to not but heads with N enough to homeschool 🙂 You, my friend, amaze me in so many ways!!
Thank you for the words of encouragement, Scarlett! What you wrote about is my biggest wish for them!
Chrissy, I am LOVING antique desks right now, too. I could fill the school room with them! I also wish I had a place for one of those old school roll-up school maps. I found one but unfortunately it’s too big to hang on any of my walls. =( I hope you find great stuff this weekend! Also, I’m really wanting to do a MD camping trip. How close are y’all to DC?
Michelle, there is more head-butting in this house than you could ever imagine. I promise it’s not nearly as hard as you think it is! Well, some days are, but that’s just part of parenting, right? 😉 You would be AMAZING at this!!!
