This week has been tough. Everett has been pretty sick. With Thanksgiving and family in for his birthday party on Saturday, I really needed my little guy to feel better. Due to his allergies, we stayed indoors as the wind blew and the leaves continued to fall. Being stuck indoors can be tough, especially when […]
Hi! I’m Leslie- a homeschooling momma to a 5 year old girl and 21 month old boy. The 2 are as different as night and day. I share our adventures here to both inspire learning at home and chronicle our lives, because honestly, I never started the baby books and my kids will just have […]
Hi! I’m Leslie- a homeschooling momma to an almost 5 year old girl (seriously can’t believe I just typed that) and 17 month old boy. The 2 are as different as night and day. I share our adventures here to both inspire learning at home and chronicle our lives, because honestly, I never started the […]
I get so tickled when my preschooler does things that I used to teach in 4th and 6th grade. Understanding VOLUME is a huge concept in both grade levels. This month with our preschool curriculum we are studying Fables and Folktales; one being The Crow and the Pitcher- an Aesop fable. The story goes that […]
This month is Vacation Bible School month. That means, as the VBS Director, my life is super crazy right now. I am hoping to share a few tips on how to help with that in a future post, so if you are involved with your VBS please stay tuned to the blog. 🙂 However, in […]

Superheroes can be known for a lot of things: strength, speed, invisibility, and so forth. Today with our Superhero Unit from Mother Goose Time we studied the quality of SPEED. However, my girl is a cautious and quiet observer… she is definitely not known for her speed. Our first activity was supposed to be about […]
I love that little school bus box, don’t you? It is jam packed with awesome goodness for me and my little girl to play, learn, and discover together. However, for a pack-rat like myself, I just can’t bring myself to throw away so many wonderful things! Maybe it’s because my husband doesn’t want to invest […]
I wanted to play with play dough with Sweet Pea…but I did NOT want to go to Walmart at 8 in the evening. Have you been then… its like all the cashiers go home and everyone in town heads to the store!!! Lines backed up to the clothes and I thought I was going to […]
Sweet Pea is 19 months, and it is like her brain is a dry sponge just ready to soak up any and all things placed around her. She’s grasping things faster than I expected, and I am so enjoying making these Tot Trays to challenge her into learning new things. Easter is around the corner, […]
