One of the greatest challenges in homeschooling is learning how to balance your time and attention between your children. This is even more difficult when you have preschool age children and younger running around. With a second grader hungry to learn and a toddler who doesn’t want to miss out on the fun I had […]
Homemade Valentines
This year for Valentine’s Day I decided to use a technique that we used last year for our St. Patrick’s Day Shamrock. We created our own unique paper with this “painting method.” All it took was a little vinegar, cardstock and various shades of pink and red tissue paper. Lil’man placed tissue paper on the […]
Potty Training- The Day I Lost it!
STOP MOVING! I was hot and getting hotter with every squirm. If you recall from this potty post, I briefly stated that we returned to pull-ups after trying cloth training pants…the story I’m about to share was the major factor in that decision. The boy had been very successful, at the time, keeping his pants […]
Tot School- Catch Up
Lil’man is 37 months. MIA. Yep. This blog was on the back burner last week. I didn’t post anything. I may have posted at the end of the week, but unfortunately my computer was hit with a virus. Fortunately, my virus protection caught it and after running a few more test (which took forever!) […]
Potty Training- The Light Went Out

Potty Training Chronicles Continued
I know it has been quite some time since I last updated you on the whole potty training endeavors in our house, not that you missed them. My last post and first post ended with the doctor proclaiming I may have to wait a few months and try again. I was really hoping this wasn’t […]

Birthday Celebration
Oh, my goodness it has been a crazy week in our household with Christmas functions and colds, but I just had to get some of the boy’s birthday pictures up. It was a great celebration and he was so into it this year. As I mentioned before, we decided to do a Toy Story themed […]
