Why do we Homeschool/Unschool? Let me start by saying this. Like everything else in this world, educating your child is a personal choice. No child develops at the same pace or learns in the same way. Each child and family is different. For our family and for our child Homeschooling, and more specifically Unschooling, works best. My husband and I knew homeschool would be best … [Read more...] about Why We Homeschool/Unschool!

Our Day at the Tellus Science Museum
This weekend we went to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. This is my son, Gabriel's, favorite museum of all time. Just their gift shop alone has him speechless. He is a huge fan of both their Fossil Gallery and their Mineral Gallery. I'm always impressed with it myself! I apologize now for the bombardment of pictures you are about to experience. We started our visit … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Tellus Science Museum
Our Day at the Atlanta Zoo
We decided to go to the Atlanta Zoo Sunday morning. It was a lovely day, slightly overcast and in the mid 70's. It was perfect! We began our tour of the zoo with the pink flamingos. Gabriel told us all about the flamingos food and that it was the food that gave them their pink coloring. We then came to the Elephant enclosure. She was giving herself a dust bath … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Atlanta Zoo
My Mother’s Day Weekend in the Desert
I went to Arizona for Mother's Day weekend this year with my Mom. We went to see my sister and my nieces who live in Phoenix and watch my sister graduate from college. No Husband! No Kids! Wait. What?! That's right, it was my first time being away from all of them. Honestly, I wasn't sure I would know how to act. I mean, it's been two years since Jade was born and I have never been away … [Read more...] about My Mother’s Day Weekend in the Desert
A Beautiful Day with Papa
An overcast day is full of possibilities. When Papa comes home early, we abandon all other pursuits to go play with him. As we make our way outside, we stop by the pansy beds to look for bugs. They can only find one lone bee. We stop by the mailboxes so Papa can check the mail. A Beautiful Day Then we make our way to the playground. Papa and Gabriel throw the ball to each other for a … [Read more...] about A Beautiful Day with Papa

So, this year we took the hour drive down to his moms house or as the kids call her "Nana … [Read more...] about A Perfect Day at Nana’s House
Big Brother
Gabriel is such a great big brother to Jade. He loves her with all his heart and tells her this daily. They play well together, with her trying to emulate everything that he does. If he is playing with dinosaurs then she wants to play with dinosaurs. If he is playing with LEGOs, then she wants to play with LEGOs. If he is coloring with markers, then she wants to color with markers too. He also … [Read more...] about Big Brother
