What We Are Wearing Wednesday

By

That seems like an odd thing to talk about on a homeschooling blog, huh? I always see the memes going around where women post a picture of what they are wearing. And it got me thinking ... in homeschooling it's pretty easy to just wear your pjs and scrubby clothes all the time. In fact, it's so tempting that a lot of days we do it. I don't see my husband during the week and maybe only leave the house a couple of times. Since I don't have anybody to impress, I find myself, way too often, throwing my hair up, putting on some sweats and a hoodie, wearing my slippers, and not wearing any makeup. I give in to the plea from the kids of "can this be a pj day?" But, inevitably, when I do, we drag through our day with no energy.

But I know that on the days that I get up on time, do my quiet time, go for my walk, and shower and GET DRESSED, I get so much done and feel so energized all day! I have always believed in the mantra:

Dress Smart Think Smart.

Now I just need to make sure we follow it more often. So, here is what I was wearing today ...


And, I was going to post a picture of what the kids were wearing today, BUT BEFORE I REMEMBERED THEY WERE BACK IN THEIR PJ'S! And now I am, too. Oh well. Maybe next week!

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
