The Homeschool Mother's Journal ~10

The Homeschool Mother's Journal

The Homeschool Mother’s Journal ~
This week was rather uneventful.  I rather like it. ;)


In my life this week...
I have so many projects on my to do list! The first is making baby bedding for my new granddaughter on the way.  I want to have it finished and shipped before her shower on June 25th.  She's due to arrive at the end of July.

I also have so many puppet and children's ministry projects to do, not to mention continuing some school through the summer and just housekeeping and life in general!  Lord, help me to prioritize!


In our homeschool this week...
We got back to the grindstone this week.  I still have some organizing to do.  Does it ever end?


Places we're going and people we're seeing...
Just going to church and shopping, nothing much exciting this week.


My favorite thing this week was...
Getting some decluttering and spring cleaning done!  Yes sometimes I actually like to clean. ;)  And sometimes it's my favorite thing. ;)

Another favorite thing, although kinda silly was a giant jar of peanut butter I made for a display at church.  I should have taken a picture of it for my photo to share but I forgot.  It was just fun to do.  Nothing more, nothing less.


What's working/not working for us...
Last week I said our schedule wasn't working.  This week it is. ;)


Homeschool questions/thoughts I have...
I just downloaded Spelling Wisdom.  I have looked at this off and on for a while.  I have tried every spelling program under the sun just about and have even used dictation before.  My son actually did pretty well with dictation in the past, but I just got away from it for a while because of trying to find suitable passages.  No excuse, just procrastination. :(  Anyway, as we go forward with it, I'll review whether it's "working/not working" for us.  Anyone else used it?


A photo, video, link, or quote to share...

I need to look through my files and resurrect my Spelling Wisdom to used with my daughter for next year.

Great looking puppet!
