I’ve been excited to share this post with you! I’ve had several emails asking about how our Fourth of July booth went last year (The Perfect Summer Project for Kids). It was SO fun! The kids worked so hard to get all of their stuff ready to sell. We made most things, other things we…
As a blogger (and human), it’s important that I punctuate as correctly as possible. Nobody wants to read what I have to say if I write like a complete ignoramus. You know what that word reminds me of? Cracker Barrel. Remember that peg game that sits on the tables? I’m an “eg-no-ra-moose,” that’s what it…
The three most common email questions that I get from my readers are… 1. Can you give me advice on starting a blog?2. Can you help me with my curly hair?3. Can you give me advice on homeschooling or update us on how it’s going? So, now that we have tackled one year of homeschooling,…
While browsing St. Patrick’s Day ideas on the internet, the other night, I got sidetracked by a penny science experiment that I noticed. It was actually really interesting, sounded easy and I had everything on hand. That never happens. I knew it would be a perfect homeschool project to break up our daily routine. Oh,…
Hi, I’m Kristin, a stay at home mom of a 19 month old boy, with another baby to be born just before his second birthday. My son was born with half a heart and thus requires a lot of time, energy, and money. We are currently living on student loans while my husband finishes student…

I haven’t researched this idea, at all. I just don’t have time. But, it stands to reason that challenging your mind, by memorizing, really strengthens that brain muscle. And, who doesn’t want a super-buff brain? Brain challenges, like math?? No thanks. Puzzles?? Sure. Memorizing stuff?? Hmmm…. To be honest, I never thought much about memorizing…
A few weeks back, I had my 3rd grader, Caden, sitting at the table doing a worksheet on the parts of speech, such as: verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns, etc. He took a good half hour doing it, and when he was done, I gave him a quick oral quiz…just to be sure he knew his…
Back before I got married, I was a dedicated journal keeper. I think I have seven volumes detailing my years as a girl who liked to kiss boys. Seriously, if I could go back in time I would give myself a kick in the rear. Who knew there was so much more to life than…
Hello there “SHE”-ville! I’m so honored and UBER excited to be with you today. I hale from a little corner of the blogosphere called For What Its Worth…or Not. Just a humble little nook where I talk about my life as a wife & preggo mama of a spunky 2 1/2 year old little girl. I like to…
A few months back I decided to homeschool my little rascals (see “WHY”, here)…now, we’ve started and like promised, here’s an update! We’ve conquered almost 3 weeks (impressive, eh?) and I’m still alive to tell about it. Whoo-hoo! Guess what…I love it and the kids do too (at least, for now.) So, we started August…
Caden, my oldest, is BY FAR my pickiest eater. Ask me what he doesn’t like and it would be easier to tell you what he does like…I could probably count everything on ONE HAND! When you’re kid doesn’t like pizza OR chicken nuggets, you’re in a world of trouble. That’s how deep our problem lies. …
