Tips for Freezing Corn
Sunday, August 21, 2016
It's that time of year that keeps me busy with canning and freezing. It takes a bit of time to do this but in the middle of winter, it tastes so good to eat food knowing it came from my garden or the farm stand!
FlipStir Puzzle Review
Friday, August 19, 2016
Have you ever heard of a puzzle that is contained in a closed cylinder? A puzzle where you can NOT lose any of the pieces? Neither had I until recently when we were given the chance to try out FlipStir Puzzle from Enlivenze LLC.

Foreign Languages for Kids by Kids Review
Thursday, August 18, 2016
Back in high school, I
took 2 years of Spanish and while I learned a decent amount, I wasn't fluent.
Not until I moved to Lima Peru and was fully immersed did I finally really pick
up on the language. Most homeschool Spanish programs out there present lessons the same way I learned in high school. Much to my surprise, we were recently introduced to a homeschool Spanish program that is different in their approach. We recently had the chance to try out the Starter Set 1 from Foreign Languages for Kids by Kids.
Homeschool Encouragement (w/Free Printable)
Saturday, August 13, 2016
Homeschooling has definitely been one of the best decisions we have made for our family. I can't imagine not having these years to spend with my children, growing and learning along side of them.
But let's face it, some days are just hard. We all need a bit of encouragement at times to keep pressing on despite the challenges we may face at times. A couple of years ago, I typed up a printable and gave a copy to each of my kids as well as placed a copy on one of my kitchen cabinets so we could all see it daily. Not only do I need the encouragement as a homeschool momma, my kids need the encouragement as well!

Back to (Home)School Traditions
I don't know about you but our summer break flew by! I guess between having a new baby, kids working, camping, and just every day life happening, time got away.
My kids look forward to getting back into the grind of school work. Slightly odd I know! I think part of it is the new school books and supplies and knowing they will get to see friends weekly at co-op.

Homeschool Curriculum for 2016
Monday, August 8, 2016
It's hard to believe it's already August and we are slowly getting back into school work. We usually start early as typically August is pretty hot so no one wants to be outside in the heat and humidity. BUT that benefits us come spring! Just as the weather is getting nice, we are done with school and can be outside enjoying the weather.
It's also the time for our annual week-long blog hop with my fellow Schoolhouse Review Crew!

Refrigerator Dill Pickles (aka Claussen Copycat Recipe)
Thursday, August 4, 2016
I've been picking cucumbers from my garden for about 6 weeks now. While I typically can a variety of pickles (spicy bread & butter, dill, old bay pickles, etc) I also like making some refrigerator pickles that we can enjoy almost immediately.
