Lesson Plans…..

 

After being inspired this morning by Jessica over at Shower of Roses, I spent ALL day doing next years lesson plans, I had 1 child complete, when I saw this…. “Microsoft Word has stopped working”. Then Word shut down and now every single Word Doc I have is either missing, as in the folder is no longer there or can not be found when I click the folder. Sometimes I am not sure that technology is worth it Sad smile

mid-week trip to the zoo

                We had friends of our girls visiting this week, while the boy was back in Illinois visiting a friend of his. We took the opportunity to take a fun field trip to the zoo, with morning Mass and confession to start us off right :) at our beautiful Cathedral Basilica.
 









 
The zoo was deserted pleasantly peaceful and the girls were able to run and goof around as much as they wanted. The keepers were more then happy to explain things and give mini lessons on the animals as they were cleaning the cages and walking the animals outside. I would recommend a mid-week winter visit to your local zoo.

this moment...

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

rethinking.....

Has anyone else seen this???? Easy Peasy, an all-in-1 homeschool curriculum???? While reading Jennifer's blog this morning I saw a link to easy peasy. Even though I was happy with our school plans for the remainder of this school year I though I would pop over to see what it was all about. And I love it! The more I looked the more I thought this would be perfect for our family. I am currently looking at adding in some of the lessons into what we are doing now, and we will be using this curriculum starting in June!

patience please.....

Patience please, I am trying to make my blog a little more user friendly. But I am having a bit of a struggle moving posts to the new tabs. And as I am leaving for vacation, headed to Michigan to see my mom and beautiful niece born 2 weeks ago, I might not get it figured out until sometime in February.
