it was the perfect day to try something new.

He’s not quite sure how he feels about it yet. But what he does like - his green jersey with his name on it, new orange slides from Gaga & Papa, and the snack & ice cream afterwards.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss 🎉

Have you done any Dr. Seuss themed activities this week to celebrate read across America week?

My kids loved decorating socks for their fox. It was a highlight of the week.

Today we ditched the lesson plan and built a mud kitchen.

I could be upset that I spent a ton of time planning Dr. Seuss themed lessons, arts & crafts, and activities for this week. Or I could put my feelings aside and follow their lead and let learning be fun for them.

And guess what? This is still learning. How? Let’s get into it.

Questions My Kids Had To Think About:
✻ What items do I want/need for a kitchen?
✻ What tools do I need to remove the grass? To hang up my utensils?
✻ How do I make my kitchen level?
✻ Where is the best place in the yard and why?

We also took a trip to the thrift store for extra supplies. There they learned about jobs people have, where we can take items we no longer want, the price of items, how to use an atm, money skills, and so much more.

And let’s not forget all of the learning that happens through messy play. Head to my latest real if you want to know more.

Homeschool Parents, this is your friendly reminder to ditch the lesson plans and do something fun this week!

We got a python!! 🐍

Madison and I went to the bookstore yesterday and somehow we came home with a Ball Python 🤷🏻‍♀️ I blame the close proximity to the pet store, a need for crickets, and a sweet little girl who really wanted one.
Either way, I got to be the one to bring home a surprise this time.

Now Madison has her own little reptile farm. And I think we are out of room, so this should be it. Right?!

pet store mom strikes for the first time!

If you follow along in stories, you know that my husband is notorious for buying the kids pets. Our company office is basically a reptile zoo at this point.

Today, it was my turn to surprise him! What do you think we got?!

I didn’t want to pull him out of preschool, but I’m so glad I did.

It’s only been a few weeks, but it’s been an intentional few weeks. And in those few weeks, I’ve watched him come out of his shell. My once shy little boy is excited to make new friends, talk to strangers, and is so eager to learn.

I absolutely love his joy for life and love watching him grow in this season.

it was the perfect day to try something new.

and that’s a wrap on Lego building until dad gets home.

✨Day in the Life of a Kindergarten Homeschooler✨

We got back from an Orlando trip late last night and the kids weren’t able to build their new Lego sets. So for homeschooling today we are building them.

but seriously, there’s no better learning than hands-on experiences, right?!?!
