About Me

I'm Stacy - a disciple of Christ, an Army wife, and a homeschooling mom to our 7 year old daughter. I spend my days doing fun science projects, going on field trips, cooking gluten-free meals, taking photos, reading, blogging & managing the home. I'm constantly behind on scrapbooking and want to learn how to crochet more than scarves, but there are only so many hours in the day.

I believe that shoes should always be optional, life is better at the beach, and chocolate is a necessary food group! More details about me & my family

Bugs & Ice Cream

Tuesday was “Letter B” day here in school! After getting our other subjects done, we took science on the go, and headed to the local nature and science museum to watch the IMAX version of “Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure”. Just another reason I LOVE homeschooling! We got our work done in less than 2 hours and . . . → Read More: Bugs & Ice Cream

Homeschooling with SPD: Handwriting / Language Arts

One of the hardest things for me when teaching my daughter is the huge ability gap between different subjects, or even within a subject.

For example, she reads on at least a 3rd grade level.  It’s likely higher, but I haven’t ventured any higher because it’s hard enough finding age appropriate content in a chapter book.  Thankfully, . . . → Read More: Homeschooling with SPD: Handwriting / Language Arts

Slow start returning to school

After taking a couple weeks off of our regular school schedule, I was looking forward to getting back to it today.  It’s funny because it’s so easy to get out of our routine and then it’s hard to get back to it.  Yet, both Lovebug and I do much better when we have . . . → Read More: Slow start returning to school

A Colorful Day!

Lovebug and I have been having a lot of fun incorporating Christmas into our school work!  Many of our Christmas activities come from the 1+1+1=1 website!

What should a 4 year old know?

I followed a link to this post today and I absolutely LOVE it!  The best I’ve ever read! It lists exactly what your 4 year old should know this year (and I would say 5 or 6 year old as well).   Check it out.  No, really…..go read it!  I’ll definitely be adding to this soon, and . . . → Read More: What should a 4 year old know?

One of my favorite things about homeschooling…

…is being able to do this!

After getting the day’s worth of school done before 11:00 AM, Lovebug wanted to go out and enjoy the rain….and we could!! She grabbed her rain boots, rain jacket, and her umbrella.  I think the umbrella was just for show though, because she opened it then promptly . . . → Read More: One of my favorite things about homeschooling…

Flexibility is the key!

We are officially starting our Kindergarten year tomorrow.  Lovebug is so excited that she begged me to give her school work to do today!  In preparation for this day, I’ve spent the last couple months trying to get Little Bear on a decent schedule so that I could plan our days better.  . . . → Read More: Flexibility is the key!

Flashcards galore!

Lovebug LOVES flashcards! She gets absolutely giddy with excitement over a new package.  Take her ability to read and remember information, combine it with being a visual learner, and a box of flashcards are like an encyclopedia in a box!

The Target dollar spot was a treasure chest for us today.  Flashcards, flashcards, . . . → Read More: Flashcards galore!

Preschool 2009-2010 Summary

I wanted to share what curriculum we are planning to use this upcoming year for Kindergarten.  Before I do that, let me talk about last year.

Last year we did a mixture of things as I got my feet wet in the world of homeschooling.  I tried some things and found they definitely . . . → Read More: Preschool 2009-2010 Summary
