The goal is fun! Laughter, play-time, and just having fun offers a necessary release of both physical and…
It’s August once again! I’ve eagerly planned the curriculum and the schedule for our new school year ahead. We completed day 4 today, and I’m thankful all has gone well. My youngest is marking the days on the calendar with a heart. That’s a good sign that he’s enjoying his Kindergarten experience so far. I…
Our journey began with sunshine and clear skies. We had a sweet seven hour trip ahead, with the California coast as our prize! I will always remember Rimrock’s respite. The home was a solace and sweet resting spot for our family of five. A New State! Upon entering CA, the tollway was our first introduction…
Meeting People from Around the WORLD! One year and 1 month ago, we were in Arizona. Today, I visited a church in our community where missionaries from Papua New Guinea were presenting their work of translating the Bible into another language and ministering to the Kuman people. My daughter met their family last week at…
I’ve been a mother of two teenagers for a full year now, and I’m learning as I go. Thankfully, my two teens are loving, patient, and intelligent. They are learning so much more than I did at the ages of 14 and 17, and they are far more engaged with their community, their church family,…
A Warm Morning Arizona was warm and dry each day of our summer travels. Day 8 would prove to be one of the warmest days yet (at least it felt that way)! We planned to hike a trail in Sedona. Fortunately, the librarians gave us some tips on where to go. Knowing it would be…
Happy New Year to you! I would like to share a special project that is near and dear to my heart. Over the Fall, I’ve been sewing. I’ve made over 30 swaddle blankets in my new shop called Swaddle My Baby. My shop includes swaddle blankets, burping clothes, and a couple headbands for baby. Good…
We are joyfully navigating our third year of High School in our Homeschool. The year has been fantastic so far with challenges, wins, growth, and lots of learning. I’ve noticed that the switch from Grade school to High school has been quite remarkable. Many days, I miss the leisurely feel of the day when all…
After six incredible days of travel, we took a break on Day 7! Today was Friday, and we spent this day sitting on the couch, watching movies all morning long. It felt really good to have this option and enjoy some down time. In the afternoon, the kids enjoyed games, puzzles, and more. Rimrock Coffee…
Good morning! It’s another beautiful day out WEST. We’re in Arizona, and we’re ready to go to Phoenix. Today we visit Grand Canyon University! What is GCU or Grand Canyon University? Grand Canyon University is a Private Christian college in Pheonix, Arizona. If you’ve been to a homeschooling convention, you may have seen many college…
The Day Begins Today, marks a special day. I would see a place I’ve always wanted to see. We woke early before the sunrise to have a moment together before the day began. A herd of deer came up from between the houses, and they were quite surprised to see us sipping coffee on the…
Along the interstate through Arizona, the entrance to the Petrified Forest sits out-of-sight about 3 miles away. After passing the ranger booth onto the first curve, the sight of this smaller “grand canyon” astounded me with its beauty and colors. Visiting the Petrified Forest National Park The Painted Desert overlooks were spectacular! The park was…
