First Day of Homeschool
The day has come! And exactly as many #homeschool #mamas told me, it does not go as you imagine. Not to say it was bad, but the timing was not as planned. My cute little color coded #schedule will, indeed, be reworked. I did have a lot of fun with Cora, she absolutely LOVED it, and I love the freedom it gives her. I set the morning pretty rigid, and let her choose the order of the afternoon classes. My little #holyroller asked to have two time slots for learning about #

Summer Vacation Ends and Homeschool Begins !
I am taking a break from cutting up some phonics cards. I know, I know, most interesting #blog post yet!!! I sure know how to reel you guys in. They were supposed to come with Cora's Language Arts book but did not, so I had to print them and cut. Not exactly what I wanted to do tonight, but all part of #2020. We spent our last day of #summervacation where MOST people do... #swimming in an adult blow up #pool on the driveway! Cora also had a #coding lesson today. Her older

In the Wild, Memories of Long Lost Saturday Nights and Eating Science!
Every Saturday night of #summer, we go on a #lightning bug/frog hunt. We release them, settle down, #treehuggers. BTW, put whatever you call lightning bugs (fireflies, etc?) in the comments. It was #naturegirl 's idea to start this tradition, and it is actually something I really look forward to now. I got this critter catcher below, and it makes it that much more exciting. I sound like a commercial, but this thing has a light, a magnifying glass and a hole to drop the s

Christy, the Woo Woo Gangsta Witch!
I have been called some names in my time, but never a witch! Last night, I was doing a Reiki session. Yes, I am a Reiki MASTER of the universe! OK, maybe not of the universe, but I do #energyhealing. Sooometimes (aka always), I take it a step further. I have been very intuitive my whole life. Especially as a child, I would constantly see 'visions'. HEY don't leave! I am not done yet. Chill out, no heebeejeeebie goblins will get you. Or me? I hope. I even got visions ab

Taking the homeschool plunge!
2020. This is bananas. And I hate that because I am allergic to bananas. But seriously, can we have a refund on 2020? If that is impossible, I will just continue writing this blog instead, in hopes I can add a little joy to your day. As a kid, I was a tomboy who wore dresses if that is a thing. I hung out with boys, collected bugs and ran around with no shirt. As I got older, I became quite the girly girl, screamed at the sight of a spider and graduated to crop tops. My wi
