Weekly Wrap-up


It's been a while since I've done a weekly wrap-up, and I thought I should get back to it.

Overall we had a good week. Here is a break down of what we did:

Trips to the library

Spent sometime outside.

Played with Friends.











We got to go on the subway via the bus and the boys were quite happy about that:

The highlight of the week was the boy's new bunk bed, which we bought off some friends that are relocating. The boys were very excited about it.



On the home front, I had a productive weeks with 4 loads of laundry, all folded up and put away, more cleaning, organizing and re-arranging.

On the kitchen front, after a week of no cooking for various reasons, I was back in the kitchen with apple pie, breads, coffee cakes and the weekly pancakes.

From the heart, I need to regroup as far as wake up time and devotion time is concerned. It needs to get back to an earlier time before school starts in another week, so as to start on a right foot. I guess that is going to be the challenge this week.

That's about it for our week. For more weekly wrap-up, go over to Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers and Raising 4 Godly Men.

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

2016 was a pretty skimpy blogging year for me. Ask me why, I am not sure I have an answer for you beside life happening and writing inspiration fading. With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers. In the past 4 years I have enjoyed participating in the Virtual Curriculum Fair hosted by Homechooling Hearts and Minds , so I am happy to start my year participating once more.
