It seems like the summer always flies by sooooo fast! We’ve actually already started our homeschool year. We sort of do a “warm up” week to get back into the groove of schooling again. This year we’re actually doing two weeks like this since I’m waiting for my oldest son to return home from visiting his grandparents. So, next week we should be in full grind of all our normal school activities. My school room is almost organized…and we’re just waiting for a few more packages to come in that will be a part of our curriculum. I don’t use any one source for homeschooling. I like to mix and…

Yay! Kids Can Help with the Laundry! (Video)

Sharing Secrets with Your Children
Sharing Secrets with Your Children Do you remember how it felt when your close friend shared a secret with you? Didn’t it make you feel kind of special? Even privileged and honored that your friend trusted you with her valuable secret? On a deeper level, I believe it created a closer bond between the two of you…after all, you both shared some secret information that none of the rest the world around you knew. I love to share secrets with my boys. I like making them feel like they’re really special to me when I share something that nobody else knows. For instance, last night I shared a simple secret…
