In my life this week… God has led me down a path, I wasn’t expecting. I am putting together a new resource blog for the Christian Homeschooler. The purpose? To help parents distinguish between curriculum that will meet their needs and curriculum that is marketed to meet their needs, but won’t. Yes, this was brought…

Nature Study Tuesday~March 21~Windy Kansas, Spring is blowing in.
There are little signs of spring all over. The strawberries are starting to poke through the hay we mulched them with, the alfalfa fields are more green then brown, and the wind is BLOWING.

I am sorry I am getting this up late. Our four year old most likely broke his arm Saturday, and I have been running. He has an ortho appointment tomorrow, so we should know for sure by then. Friday we went to an Apple Orchard for a field trip. It is a beautiful place to…
Nature Study Tuesday~September 28~ Large Moth
This week we were out playing, and our landlord/adopted grandpa drove in with a special package. I guess our love of nature must have rubbed off on him. Anyway, he brought us a large moth. We believe it is a tobacco hornworm moth, but umm, it seems that these big moths all look very…
