I've been wanting to share more about our homeschool journey here on the blog but since it is all still very new to us and my time is the opposite of unlimited (sounded fancier than saying limited ;),) I haven't gotten around to it until now. I took these photos in July as you can see by the warm weather clothing and the more damning dates on my homeschool planner. I thought about backdating the blog post (I do that often to keep birthday and holiday posts in their respective timeline) but felt ... continue reading...
August Booklist
Wrapped up my August reading with 8 books mostly all of them from the library. Nothing wrong with that, but I realized I have stacks of books on my shelves at home that I haven't read and I really should. Next month might see the pendulum switch the other way! HAHA!

We've got Bluey toys, Bluey games, Bluey books, Bluey "stuffies," and all the seasons we can own on DVD. The girls say things like "big fella," "swimmies," “for real life?,” “I’m busting,” and “wackadoo!” We play games like "keepy uppy" and pass the parcel. And weekly, if not daily, I have two grannies wandering around my house ... continue reading...

Thorin turned one, Hilde lost a tooth, Hilde turned five and started her first day of Kindergarten, we went to Breckenridge, threw two birthday parties less than a month apart, and .. um...I think that's all! My camera has gotten a work out these days and I am already dreading how to fit the photos from these ... continue reading...
