Now, with the New Year here and winter upon us, we're spending much time indoors. How about you and yours? I hope your holidays were wonderful! You probably are busy posting many links that we'll all love to read. With Together on Tuesdays, you can link up any and all Family-Friendly (G-rated) posts.

Let's Look At... My Favorite Reads

-
Image
I read a lot.  I pretty much always have a book on me or nearby just in case.  So when I saw that this month's Let's Look At link party was all about our favorite reads I was so excited.  Not only would I get to talk about the books I love but I'd get to find lots of great book suggestions to add to my "want to read" list!  
I have compiled a few favorite books lists in the past; this one is a list of some of my all time favorite books (you know those books that you read over and over again or those authors that you can not wait to read a new book from?).  This list that I wrote last summer listed my 10 favorite books I had read that year up to that point.  
Not wanting to repeat any of those books I decided to share my favorite books that I've read in the past 6 months.  Having read more than 80 books last year that still leaves plenty of books to talk about!  


In order for a book to make my list it had to be one that really stood out in my mind after I was…

15 Signs that Homeschooling Is Working

-
Image
As a follow up to my "Kids Say" post I thought I should post some of the things my kids say (and do) that makes me feel like perhaps I'm not failing at this whole homeschooling thing.



I was surprised to find that this was harder to write than I had thought.  I figured it would be pretty easy because most of the time I am very sure of our homeschooling and all that my kids are learning.

Perhaps I've gotten so used to seeing and hearing all of their wonderful work, thoughts, and ideas that they don't stand out as much as all their little blunders?  I don't know.

I do know I have some pretty smart, happy, caring, wonderful boys who put their all into all they do.

They often amaze me and here's a sampling of those times:
1. Listening to my 7 year old playing in his room I hear: "Let them perish in the fields of Asphodel" (while playing he often quotes Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or other literary figures).

2. My 7 year old:  "it costs $35?  …

Friday Favorites-- Valentine's Day Week

-
Image
Even with two kids that were fighting off colds we managed to have a pretty fun week.  We got a small snow storm on Tuesday that turned to rain and freezing rain by night fall so Ian happily took off to plow and shovel Wednesday morning.  He was back by the time Alec was done at the orthodontist and what might have only been two days of schoolwork turned to three!  I was so happy to see us making great strides in our books.  So many of them only have a good 8 or so more lessons and I really hope to see us finishing up some in the next few weeks.



Here are some of our favorite moments and memories from our week:

Watching these two boys play with their friends at a really fun winter pool party.





Walking around town looking at all the ice sculptures for the fire and ice festival.



Seeing the welds Ian made on his first ever attempt at welding.  He told my husband he wanted to learn to weld and my husband complied.





Alec was happy to be at karate this week practicing his kicks!



All three b…

Unschooling Ideas for all subjects

-
Image
The boys all piled into my bed for some snuggling and cuddling.  We talked and just enjoyed hanging out with one another for quite a bit.  Once they all started tickling one another, feet were flying and wrestling ensued I decided to sneak out and spend some time on the computer coming up with a plan of activities.



It seems our weeks go best when I have activity ideas already in my mind when the week begins. 

 If we don't get around to them it's not a big deal, but it seems to work best if I have suggestions for some fun learning games and projects.

Typically I only plan enough activities to last us until lunch and then they're on their own for actual unschooling.

I don't force anyone to participate in any lesson or activity;  I suggest things to do that I hope they'll be interested in.

Lately, I've made the mistake of not having ideas at the ready and it seems like we're all floundering for things to do.  I started out trying to make a list of 5 activitie…

Encouraging Hearts and Home-- Happy Valentine's Day!

I know Valentine's can be a bit of a cheesy holiday but I just love it!  I love having an excuse to shower my boys and husband with love and attention.  I planned to start our day with some homemade cinnamon buns and have a turkey dinner all set for tonight.  They each were greeted with a little token gift this morning (just a small box of chocolates) and we have a few fun activities planned for our day.

How will you celebrate?
