If you’ve been anxiously awaiting another installment of the letter U, I’m sorry. I slacked. I did. U was a hard one. I could only think of “uncle” and “unicorn”. I mean, uncle? So, we just skipped ahead to letter V. And V? I like!
I chose John 15:5, “I am the vine. You are the [...]

Show and Tell
Lydia and I have been doing our “abc verses” for several months now. And with each new letter, it was easy to review the letter before. Well, for about ten letters or so. Any more and Lydia would get a little bored with reciting and honestly, I couldn’t remember all of them!
We usually display the [...]

Happy Happy Joy Joy!
One of the reasons I am excited about homeschooling the boys is that I will get to see the joy in their faces as they learn or try something new… The joy on EJ’s face when he realized H was for helicopter, and more importantly, his momma knew how to make helicopters… ah, this is one [...]

H is for Homeschooling?
Not much is happening right now with our study of the letter H – I keep thinking I wish I had found the game Hungry Hungry Hippo out there somewhere before I started this week!
Thoughts about education have been running through my head, though. I’m the mom of two very young little boys, and I know I [...]

A giraffe gaff…
As I mentioned last time, I had all kinds of grand giraffe plans in my head. The one I tried to implement yesterday involved a tall, regal giraffe made out of pantyhose, and EJ would color spots on him with markers, and he would be called “George, the Gentle, Giant Giraffe,” and he would forever serve [...]

Unbelievable. U.
U had me stumped. I literally read my concordance on this one. Let’s see…unruly, undisciplined, unclean and unleavened. Not exactly the kind of verses I was hoping for.
I finally asked my twitterflies and got some great responses (my fave? Deuteronomy 9:6) And finally landed on Proverbs 16:22,
“Understanding is like a fountain of life to [...]

Go, go, go, go for G!
I will save you all the gory details – but today is the first day we’ve had in well over a week to actually get to getting on with our letter of the (2) week(s) – G!!!
I’ve had several giraffe crafts bumping around in my head, and this is the first one to make it [...]

You don’t want to know what “G” is for this week…
OK – I’ll tell you… it’s been gross around here this week. After 2 days of Dieter with a stomach bug, we thought we were out of danger, until both boys were hit again late tonight. So it’s 2:00am, and EJ and I are hanging out in the living room in between “episodes.” I’m keeping [...]

Towers & Tinkerbell
In the continuing effort to maximize our “T verse and after our awesome train, I scoured our bookshelves for some good “T” books. But no such luck. Then I glanced at the site Leigh mentioned, Christian Preschool Printables but their suggestion was the Tower of Babel. Which made me remember my FAVORITE BOOK IN THE [...]
