Post image for A Video Highlight of Our Past Year

My babies turned 7 a few weeks ago!

Every year I create a birthday DVD for the kids. I include pictures set to songs of all the highlights from the past year- activities we loved doing together, holidays and celebrations and our travels.

Last year I shared our birthday DVD, and I’m back to do it again this year.

I hope it entertains you!!!

  • We are going camping for a few days this week along with some day trips, so I need to take another break from posting next week. I’ll see you back in two weeks with a new post. Take care :)

Our April Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013

I’m back!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t posted anything new this past month. I’ve felt pulled in too many different directions lately, so I had to make some tough decisions and strictly prioritize my time. So that meant taking a break from writing any new posts this month. One of my family’s greatest passions is [...]

Our March Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013

March was one big ball of exhausting fun! It’s the beginning of birthday and travel season for us. We did so much that I know I missed things, so this isn’t even a complete list. It was just too hard to keep updated most of the month. We had our first mini-trip of the year: [...]

Our Spring Activity Wish List

Happy first day of spring! Even though it doesn’t feel like spring today- its 23 degrees near Chicago today- it’s sunny outside, promising long days ahead. Winter is my least favorite month-although I appreciate it more now since I’ve have kids- so I’m really looking forward to warmer days, long bike rides and hikes, and [...]

How was your February? We stayed at home a lot more than last month which was very refreshing, especially since next month will be a travel month for us. As usual we had an eclectic range of learning: rescue dogs, Milton Hershey, Rosa Parks, Because of Winn-Dixie, bar graphs & origami, salt painting & crystals, [...]

Valentine’s Day Activity Wish List

Last year the kids and I went to a Valentine’s Day party with a homeschool group. We spent quite some time filling out cards, making little candy bags to pass out. It was fun, but I must admit to feeling a little overwhelmed. This year, after a busy, hectic first month of the year, I’m [...]

Our January Unschooling Activities & Resources

Thumbnail image for Our January Unschooling Activities & Resources

January was a whirlwind of a month. The first start of the month started off with out-of town family members coming to stay for 4 nights for a wedding (Alexa was the flower girl!). And then after that came a flurry of the usual gymnastics and swimming lessons, a pulled tooth for Jared, bowling, playing [...]

The Messy Side of Interest-Led Learning

*Today I have a guest post by Amy Dingmann. I recently read Amy’s new book The Homeschool Highway: How to Navigate Your Way Without Getting Carsick. It’s a short read (I finished in two days) that’s overflowing with great advice, practical ideas and lots of encouragement. I asked her to share some of her wisdom [...]

I knew December would be a busy month, and it felt busy, but as I put the finishing touches on this list, I was amazed at how much we did this month! I’m sure things were the same in your house, too.  And this was after I worked hard and not letting us get so [...]

Winter Activites Wish List

Two more days until winter! It certainly hasn’t felt like winter around here yet. In fact, Steve and Jared went for a late night bike ride just two days ago! But they’re predicting snow for this Thursday, so it looks like it might be a somewhat white Christmas. I started compiling our Winter Activities Wish [...]
