Room Set-Up

I'm trying something new today. I wanted to share with you all how I set up my house with our MGT tools and where we do our school work. I decided instead of trying to write it all out with some pictures added in that I would try to video it. I would love your …

Creative Art

Each week I like to kind of stick to one or two days to highlight and share all aspects of that day, but today I want to talk about the Creative Art section we do.  I love having something to create each day.  When all else fails I know I can gain back my kids …

A New Add-On

I feel as though there has been a lacking in my household in teaching about God.  Don't get me wrong, we go to church and we teach our kids about praying and we've told bible stories to them, but it hasn't been anything deeper than that.  I know at age 3 and 2 (How is …

A Peak into our (A) Typical Day

Routines, transitions, daily schedule.  It may surprise many people who know me that these are not things I enjoy.  I love organizing and cleaning.  I love having a house that is super OCD cleaned.  I've always been taught that children need routines and schedules.  I spent too much of my daughter's babyhood trying to make …

The Eclipse Let Down

I got myself up before the kids this morning so that I could get them fed and dressed in time for the Eclipse.  My kids are late sleepers so I planned to get breakfast made while they slept.  It worked out well for timing.  I made some homemade Eclipse projectors.  I didn't get glasses to …

Sickness Has Struck

What a week it has been.  We are so behind on everything it seems.  Saturday morning Mantha woke up fine, but shortly after breakfast was over all she wanted to do was lay in my lap and I could feel she was getting a fever.  Today (it's now Friday) was the first day she woke …

Canoe Day

This month our MGT theme is camping.  We've talked about tents, sleeping bags, bears, raccoons, and all sorts of other fun things.  My daughter has now decided that she wants to go on a camping trip.  My husband and I decided we would make her a reward chart where she gets stickers for good behavior …

My Why

Long before I ever had children, long before I was ever married I always wanted to pursue the possibility of homeschooling. I'm not the most patient person and I once did tutoring for a short period of time, but I never enjoyed it.  This is why I said the possibility.  The idea appealed me to …

Play to Learn

Our summer life has sure been busy.  I've sure had my hands full with my kids, I've reached a pretty low place in the last few months of feeling unfit to mother, but I'm learning and doing better and finding a new groove. I don't know why I fought the possibility that our daughter is …

Summer Begins

This week has been nothing but CRAZY! I clearly have at least one kid who is no longer a baby now.  She has activities and events to be taken to now.  I have friends with  older kids who talk about taking their kids to this and to that and just being over all crazy busy …
