Y’all!! I am SO Excited!!! I just convinced Collin to change our two night reservations at Disney to…A CAMPSITE!!! And not just any campsite. Oh, No. We’re going to be roughing it. We are staying in a TENT! Have I ever stayed in a tent? NO. Do I enjoy bugs and heat? Not so much....
A busy weekend, that is. But it’s also going to be a really fun one. Right now I’m enjoying a little bit of coffee and quiet before the loud ones come charging down the stairs. This week, instead of immediately coming downstairs when they wake, Mak and CB have been meeting in Mak’s room to...
I LOVE Florence. Seriously. I grew up here and all of my life I swore I would live far away from this tiny town when I was an adult. What in the world was I thinking?! Sure we are lacking in some areas, but really, FUN family events like the one we participated in yesterday...
when my hair will get washed but it probably won’t be dried…make-up will not touch my cheeks…school will not begin until the hour that it’s usually over…kids more than likely won’t make it out of pajamas…laundry will be done but not folded and put away…many books will be read…I will jump up and shove the...
I woke up yesterday morning and realized that so far this year I haven’t taken any photos of Mak at school. And school has been a pretty big deal for us this year, so I feel that it deserves to be documented. Besides the whole “birthing him” event, I’d say teaching him has been the...
I loved all you had to share. You are doing a fantastic job as a momma AND a teacher! What a gift you are giving him! The school room is fantatic:) Almost makes me wish we were home schooling so we could do a fun room! I know it’s so much more than getting a fun room though:) Everyone has an opinion about everything… it’s just hard when its something you care so much about and their thoughts are on the opposite side. I’m going back to work part time b/c I miss it and I feel that it is part of my ministry area He has called me to… just like staying at home the past 5 years was what He called me to as well. Yes, I get “the look” when people find out I’m choosing to return to work. It’s like I’m feeding my kids to the wolves:) I pray it works out for us and we survive the transition. I also pray He will guide me and allow me to see if this is not working for our family. We are also blessed that we will not have to choose daycare for our kids to do this. Will never know till I try! I’m so happy you tried and it has worked so well for your family! I’ve enjoyed your homeschool stories…keep ’em coming!ReplyCancel
AMEN ARON! I LOVE this post. This topic is one that is close to my heart. Now having a baby and being a teacher makes me realize everyday that homeschooling seems more and more like the best way to teach a child. It’s sad that homeschooling has such a stigma attached. Mama’s are supposed to teach their children -whether it’s manners or math – that’s our job! 🙂ReplyCancel
For 2 nights, I say skip the air mattresses. You can buy foam camping mats that go under your sleeping bags. They are SO easy and still work if they get a hole. And as for meals, I vote for s’mores at every meal!
