organizing Happy Tuesday everyone! I was roaming the aisles again ( I wish that could be a full time job) and found a great product...Chalkboard Contact Paper! Yes, chalkboard...actual wipe away and rewrite chalkboard paper. It's a dream come true for a person, like me, who likes to change things all the time. Here's where I used it first. I LOVE tools. but they are much cuter with chalkboard labels! The only problem is my third grade hand writing. I also used the labels under my table for my fabric filing. I have a big file cabinet for quilting fabric, but these boxes are the over flow that didn't fit. Cheap cardboard file boxes, turned inside out to show the natural cardboard look so they all match and then use file folders to hang your fabric on. Click HERE for the original fabric filing post. How to make your own Chalkboard Labels... You will need a roll of chalkboard contact paper and a template. The paper was about $5.00 for the roll at Michael's Craft Store. Draw on the back of the paper. ~Karen~

The Key to Successful Homeschool  - Home - Homegrown Learners The key to accomplishing A LOT in your homeschool is actually staying HOME. When my children were younger we were always on the go - fun field trips, park days, and getting out "just because". Now that Anna is in 7th grade, the work is getting HARD (more on her Challenge program in the next few weeks!) and we must stay home the majority of our time to give this beautiful program the justice it deserves. *This post contains affiliate links. This week we spent A LOT of time at home. Confession: Staying home is hard for me. And, to be honest, it used to seem like a "sacrifice" to me, but now it's just what we do, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Here's what our week looked like: Anna - Challenge A Anna's days are quite structured, but the Challenge A program allows for HER to design and maintain that structure. Basically, she has six "subjects" she is studying this year: Math, Latin, Rhetoric, Geography, Science, and Writing. 1. 2. 3. 4. Grant - Foundations at Home Work 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Corazón x Sur Homeschooling with Five In A Row: Your Unit Study Homeschool I am so thankful that I found (in my very first year of homeschooling!) a homeschool curriculum called Five In A Row. It's hard to fully explain on a website page what this curriculum has meant to me and my family. The Years I've Spent "Rowing" The term we use for spending our five days studying one of the wonderful picture books used in Five in a Row is "rowing." The years I have spent "rowing" with my young children will always be some of the best memories I have. How Five In A Row Works Five in a Row is a unit study-based approach to learning in the elementary years, using the very best children's literature. I would suggest that anyone thinking of homeschooling take a look at all the benefits of Five In A Row. I can honestly say that Five In A Row has helped us create some of the best and warmest memories that I have the pleasure of looking back on!

- Euge de la Peña Blog El sábado pasado anduvimos de paseo por Hamburgo. Dejamos el auto en una calle de un barrio llamado Altona (uno de mis barrios favoritos de Hamburgo, situado al oeste de la ciudad) y caminamos hasta llegar hasta un lugar muy especial. Ni bien bajamos del auto, el gordi posó unos segundos para mí (todavía no lo puedo creer) Last Saturday we went to Hamburg. We parked our car in Altona (one of my favourite neighbourhoods, located in the west part of the city) and walked until we arrived to a special place. As soon as we got out of the car, F. posed some seconds for me (I still cannot believe it!) (menos mal, porque la verdad es que esa pared era el fondo ideal :) Después de esa sesión de fotos express, caminamos hasta llegar a St. After that express photo shooting, we walked until we arrived to St.

Would you please share this post using the buttons above? Please note: this post may contain affiliate links. Dear Mom in a crisis, I’m talking to you today. Yes, you. I know, I’ve been there. I used to think, if I don’t talk about it, think about it, pray about it, it will just go away. But, it doesn’t It’s there, bigger than life, like a big elephant in the middle of the room. It threatens every conversation, every smile, every.single.moment.of.peace and it wakes you up in the middle of the night – you, there in a puddle of cold sweat. Today, I want you to know. As a mother who has experienced devastation in my own home, witnessing the impact on my own children, I have slowly, but found the truth of the matter – I can not control the actions of another person. I have learned to let it go and truly let God. I have learned to love and be loved. It’s up to God to open their eyes and ears and it’s also up to Him to open their hearts to His truth.
