I am going to admit it, I have a hard time keeping in the fun stuff for our workboxes. It seems that by the time we get through the main subjects, that the toddlers are restless and bored witht heir stuff, and it is time for lunch. I am sure about any home with older school agers, and 1, 2, 3, and 4, year olds have this issue. So, I am going to work hard this week, helping my older students get to their fun workbox stuff. In fact I think I will call it their “fun boxes”.

So what are your workbox plans? Do you struggle with getting through to the fun stuff? Do you have a hard time letting go of the Super Homeschool Mom ideal? How do you work through it and enjoy the fun stuff, without letting the fact that you didn’t get to some of your daily table time stuff?
So, do you know what the next giveaway is? It is listed in this post. If you comment below with what you think it is, I will give you an extra entry if you are right.
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person.
