We’re making more memories over at chez moi. Tons of fun, lots of friends, and very yummy…. you know, the best kinds of memories!
EJ has a little group of friends who happen to be mostly girls. And we’ve had them over at other holidays to decorate cookies together… I would love for this to be [...]

Joyful Impressions: Week 1
Welcome to our month of Joyful Impressions!
So I had a bit of an unintentional break from things last week – no blogging, no letters, no verses… but I’m back in the swing of things! My week off did give me a chance to think about some of the special things I’m going to do with [...]

Fall Impressions: Week 2
Welcome to Week 2 of Fall Impressions!
This idea has been all around the web lately, and in fact, last week Karla shared with us her beautiful Thanksgiving Tree. I don’t remember doing anything like this as a child, so this idea fascinates me – having the chance to physically be able to write down and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fabulous Fall…
Today’s craft: Our Fall Family Tree!
I’m sure there are tons of examples of this on the innerwebs – but I modified one I saw on First School from a “family hand flower” to a “family hand tree.” Basically, we I traced each family member’s hand onto a piece of construction paper, and then we I cut [...]

The dried fruit “activity”
So, I gave you a bit of a sneak-peak at my fruit-drying endeavor on Tuesday… I prepped everything Tuesday night based on the amount of time the little booklet that came with my dehydrator said each fruit would take to dry. Based on the booklet, everything should’ve taken 12-16 hours to dehydrate - so I got it [...]

And… we’re on to “E!”
I’m thankful for new beginnings… after my struggles last week with the letter D, I was fully ready to move on to the letter E, with all new activities and verses….
I found a new website that I am having a fun time poking around on… Christian Preschool Printables. I got the printout of the earth [...]

A tutorial: how to make a drumset out of formula cans
Due to some severe allergies that run in our family, we had to try multiple formulas with both boys to figure out what would work for them. I always feel guilty about just tossing the empty formula cans, so I try to reuse them in whatever way I can. With Deeter’s allergies, we wound up [...]
