Welcome to another "Week in Review" here at Nourishing My Scholar. I am happy to report that our daughters night terrors have eased up this week and have been replaced with 3am wake ups that involve deep, thought provoking questions like...."what happens to the animals in the desert if all of the cactus were to die?"...true story. Sleep deprivation is not our friend. Coffee, however, has … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review

Our Week in Review

Our son, too, has been overly excitable and out of sync. We've found that this happens more when our schedules change, but sometimes we can not pin point exactly why these types of weeks happen. So we are … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review
Our Week in Review: Including Leonardo da Vinci, & the Zoo
Welcome to another Week in Review here at Nourishing My Scholar! We had such a fun week with it's ups and down. The down would be that I got stung by a hornet and ended up at Urgent Care for a Steroid Shot...not fun. I also haven't quite decided when our first "back to school" day will be. Granted, we school year round but I still like to have that special first day. I've begun ordering … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review: Including Leonardo da Vinci, & the Zoo

Inspiring a Love of Reading with the Love of Animals
Inspiring a Love of Reading with the Love of Animals Before our son became the voracious reader that he is today, he was anxious and easily frustrated with each attempt to read. You can read about his favorite books here at Our Favorite Children's Books. We had a little boy with big ideas that could understand complexities far beyond his years. He knew the sounds that the … [Read more...] about Inspiring a Love of Reading with the Love of Animals

Our Book of the Week: RED
I wanted to share a book with you. A book that the children keep asking for this week. They ask for it as soon as they wake in the mornings. They ask for it at breakfast. They ask for it at lunch. They ask for it before bed. This picture book by Michael Hall is simply called Red: A Crayon's Story. Our three year old actually discovered this gem of a book at the library. I wasn't sure … [Read more...] about Our Book of the Week: RED
