We didn’t have a designated homeschool room until our oldest daughter was in 2nd grade so I’m super grateful for the space now. […]

Back-To-School: CRAYOLA

August 10, 2016 By Stephanie

Crayola markers

When it comes to purchasing school supply basics like crayons, colored pencils, and markers – I always look for the orange box. This is one category where we don’t buy generic because Crayola’s products are just plain better.

I like the sunshine and flip flops, the magnificent monsoons and accompanying splashing in the rain, the ice cream cones and crisp salads. Also – […]

Review: My Father’s World, 1st Grade

March 20, 2013 By Stephanie

Our oldest daughter has an early September birthday. I remember thinking what an absolutely perfect month it was to have a baby. Although I had to endure the final trimester in the scorching summer heat, I appreciated that having an early autumn baby meant that we could spend hours on the back porch swing and […]

Are we homeschooling yet?

May 4, 2011 By Stephanie

“Are you homeschooling them yet?” We are asked that question often as we travel from state-to-state. At first, I wavered in my answer, “Well, they’re still young (ages 2 & 4).
