You Might Be a Homeschooling Mom If...

 You might be a homeschooling mom if.....


  1. You have more books at home than places to put them all and yet you still check out books by the bagful from your local library; after all you can never have too many books. 
  2. You live in your yoga pants.    
  3. You're not sure what grade your kids are in. 
  4. You count trips to Walmart, the dentist, or the Grocery store as field trips.
  5. Everyone you meet asks you if you're worried about your kids socialization.
  6. You cringe at how crowded places become during school vacations & look forward to when "they" all go back to school.
  7. The words "snow day" and "sick day" don't necessarily mean there is no school.
  8. You get excited over supplies like a printer, a microscope, and maps.  
  9. Your children are just as comfortable talking to adults and young kids as they are to kids their own age.
  10. Your children enjoy spending time together as a family and even with their own siblings.  
  11. The librarians knows you and all your kids by name & no longer ask to see your card; they have the number memorized. 
  12. Your kids never have homework after school... or the other argument that it's ALL homework. 
  13. Your kids still ask "WHY" no matter how old they are and so Google has become your best friend. 
  14. Your birthday and your kids birthday are school holidays.
  15. You take "sun" days instead of "snow" days off from school.
  16. You have maps, posters and/or sight words taped all around the house.
  17. You send your kids to school half- dressed or in their pajamas. 
  18.  You can turn ANYTHING into an opportunity to learn; lessons are everywhere.  
  19. You judge the length of a car ride based on how many CD's of a book on CD you can listen to. 
  20. Your kids tell everyone that they "don't go to school."

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 on the 10th... on the 8th

Image
 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of...

Share Our Lives-- Where I Shop

Image
It's the second Monday of the month which means it's time for the Share Our lives link up. This month for the Share Our Lives link up we're sharing where we like to shop. I struggled a bit with this prompt since it's so open ended. I thought I'd list my "top 3" stores in various categories. inside our local Market Basket Groceries: Market Basket Price Chopper Stop and Shop For Gifts: Amazon (free shipping to family that lives far away is fabulous!) Local independent stores/crafters The mall--typically the end stores like Macy's, JC Penney, etc.  For the Home/household goods: Target Amazon JCPenney The mall I went shopping in this July for my birthday For Clothing (for me!): Those same end stores at the mall Stitch Fix Amazon Clothing for my guys: Carhartt (for my husband and oldest son) Old Navy (for Evan) Kohl's/Amazon (for Alec) For fun: Stampin' Up! Michael's craft stores Hobby Lobby  I hope you'll join us next month when we look at ...
