In my life/homeschool this week…this week was home repair central.  On Tuesday we woke up to no hot water and had to have our hot water heater replaced.  Thankfully we are able to have it taken care of the same day, one cold shower was enough!  Wednesday was a trip to the dentist and Thursday […]

WUTW :: Books & Vacation {1/10/2012}

I’m linking up with the Homeschool Mother’s Journal In my life this week…a good week, but a little topsy-turvy.   In our homeschool this week…wasn’t our best week.  The downside of doing much of our work together is that when one person is missing, it sort of messes up the others. Helpful homeschooling tips or […]

WUTW :: Recipes & Food Scales {1/27/2012}

I’m linking up with the Homeschool Mother’s Journal In my life this week…we bought a food scale last week and who knew it could be so much fun?  Even the kids are having a good time seeing how much stuff weighs.  It’s been an easy way to talk about ounces vs grams.  I’ve been using […]

WUTW :: Holland & Cranberries ~ 11/18/2011

Around the House ::  We’ve been gearing up all week for our road trip to North Carolina.  We did lessons on Sunday because I knew by the end of the week we would all be too distracted to sit down and get much done.  The kids worked hard during the beginning of the week and […]

WUTW :: Pilgrims ~ 11/10/2011

Around the House ::  Our neighborhood is being re-paved.  Talk about cheap entertainment!  I can hardly keep the kids away from the windows.  The older boys like to go outside and get a closer look and then, of course, get questions like “why aren’t you in school?”  which leads to “what do you do in […]

WUTW :: So Long Jamestown ~ 11/4/2011

Around the House ::  This wasn’t our most productive academic week.  Starting out the week with a birthday and with Halloween, followed by a feast day on Tuesday, followed by a carpet/floor installation on Wednesday, sort of reeked havoc on the schedule. In the Kitchen ::  Does Halloween candy count? Faith ::  I wish I […]
