My family is really excited about the Winter Olympics like many other families across the world. We will be spending the next week or so learning about the different events and keeping track of medals won. We are really looking forward to seeing the opening ceremonies too — it’ll be hard to top [...]
Wow, it’s been a while since I have posted. I have been really busy working on a new website and haven’t had a lot of leisure time. We’ve got a bunch of activities this week and next, so I hope to have something to write about and some photos to post.
Don’t give up [...]
Our homeschool Girl Scout troop held an investiture ceremony, and it turned out very nicely. I’d never heard of an investiture before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Alyssa had done bridging twice, so I wasn’t expecting to do it for a few years. I’m glad our leader decided to [...]
I recently bought a $5 unit study covering the Vancouver Olympics. It’s a 13-day study, so we will begin closer to when the Olympics actually begin — in about 27 days. It’s very hands-on, so I am sure I will have a lot of photos to post!

As we were taking photos, I saw these huge, rat-like creatures come out of the [...]
Our homeschool tween girls’ group got together to decorate gingerbread houses. I was dreading the mess, but it turned out to be so much fun! And, believe it or not, there was very little mess!
Christin and I made several double batches of royal icing and scooped some into baggies. The deco items [...]
Our homeschool Cadette troop was lucky enough to go on a tour of our local HEB Cypress Market. We got to speak to the produce manager, the seafood manager, the meat market manager and a baker.
We learned the proper way to check for ripeness of an avocado — and it’s not by squeezing it! [...]
We met up with another group of friends to have lunch at a local place called Tea for Two. If you haven’t guessed, it’s a tearoom! It’s very, very girly, and my 8-year-old son was not thrilled with attending with us. But the other moms were so great about making him feel [...]
Last week Christian had his pack meeting. He finally received all the belt loops and pins that he worked so hard on in October and early November. He got the following belt loops: swimming, wildlife conservation, geology, citizenship, marbles, astronomy. And he got the following pins: geology, weather, citizenship and [...]
