Homeschool Kindergarten? You can do this!
Homeschool Kindergarten? You can do this! You can do this. Homeschooling Kindergarten can be as simple or as complicated as you would like. I would recommend simple. 🙂 When my son started kindergarten at home he had just turned six and had been reading for several years. If your child is not reading, not to […]
Our Sixth Grade Curricula and Schedule
I start my school year planning the spring before the next school year starts. Usually around April, I start evaluating what we have gotten done and what we are likely to finish before our summer break. Although, I usually have a pretty good idea what our school year will entail, I don’t always figure out […]
Pro-Life, Pro-Choice and Pro- Abortion.

Our Twist on Kids Crudites and Charcuterie Boards
When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80’s (gasp) my mother and I attended many wedding showers, baby showers and birthday parties. My mother always believed that when invited to someone’s house you should bring something to share and always help clean up. It was very common for my mom to whip together […]
English Muffin Pizzas
My son is what my mom would have called “a good eater”. What I have found is that kids are better eaters when they get to pick the ingredients and make their own meals.
Build Your Own Taco-Taco Bar
As the self quarantine plods on I have been looking for ways to make dinners that are a little more fun, a little different, yet simple. The Taco Bar (or the Build Your Own Taco Dinner) was a hit this week.
