Our Week in Pictures

Both of my children are social butterflies. Our Week in Pictures Gabriel read to our Mama … [Read more...] about Our Week in Pictures
What If I Acted Like My Toddler
Our toddler, Jade, is the most precious little girl I have ever known. I know I'm biased, but I did give birth to her, so.....yeah. Anyway, as precious as this precocious little girl is I have begun to notice certain traits of hers that confound me. I mean, I don't remember my son behaving this way. Ever. Of course it's been five years since he was a toddler, so it is possible that I … [Read more...] about What If I Acted Like My Toddler
What Homeschool Looks Like
The Science Festival in Atlanta, GA. is a very exciting experience for a science loving kid. It is a first for Gabriel as is the train ride to Centennial Olympic Park where all of the booths are set up! Gabriel had me put war paint on him before getting dressed....because that's what you do as a 7 year old boy about to go on an adventure! He may or may not have an obsession with J. R. R. … [Read more...] about What Homeschool Looks Like
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
What Homeschool Looks Like
This post is a part of the What Homeschool Looks Like series over at Our Life At Home. I chose this photo of my son as we were leaving the library this week. The library is such a magical place for us. The whole world is at our fingertips. I have a strict policy when I take my son to the library.....He chooses what he wants to read, always. I never make him pick a book. I may give him … [Read more...] about What Homeschool Looks Like

In Korean, tae means "to stomp" or "to break with the foot"; kwon means "to strike or break with fist"; and do means "way of life." So, loosely translated, Taekwondo means "the way of the foot and hand."

A Rainy Day at the Park
We wanted to go to the park today. Never mind that it was 48 degrees and raining off and on. We just layered up our clothing, put on our raincoats, grabbed the umbrella and headed out the door. We even managed to convince Papa to come out into the rain with us! A Rainy Day at the Park The first thing we noticed when we got to the park was the abundance of parking spaces. We had the … [Read more...] about A Rainy Day at the Park

Homemade Play-Doh with Jade
Play-Doh is a basic of childhood. We have all played with it, made weird looking creatures with it, even eaten it. You know you have! The texture, color and mold-ability is what brings children to it time after time. My 2 year old daughter Jade is a play-doh fanatic. She received her first official play - doh on her birthday in November. It has been a whirlwind love affair between her and the … [Read more...] about Homemade Play-Doh with Jade
