A love of literature?

During recess The Homeschooled Young Man was playing with Lego's and made this sign. It says "I LOVE LIT" he is really enjoying his literature class. He set up the picture and took it himself. You can see his Lego bags handing under the kitchen table, he is in the process of sorting all his Lego pieces into bags while I read his literature to him.

I LOVE LIT

Ah, the blessings of homeschooling, never a dull or boring moment in learning. Learning is for a lifetime and is not a time of loathing. We are reading through the Abeka Of People Literature book.

How are things going this week in your homeschool? What are the kids enjoying? What needs some work? Have you done any tweaking this year?

Have a wonderful week!

FALL IS HERE AND A FREEBIE!

FALL IS OUR FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!

The time of year when the leaves are turning colors and falling, great photo weather! But we can also get the blahs, with less light in the mornings and dark in the earlier in the evenings. We need something new to perk us up and what better to do that than with awesome free printable calendar pages! 

I like to spice things up as the seasons change and a new calendar can change my daily perspective as I keep track of our schedules. 

Confessions of a Homeschooler is one of my all time favorite blogs and she has tons of great ideas and goodies for you! Check out here free printable calendars on this link. Leave her a comment and let her know you found her link on The Home School Gal's blog. 

We love to find you the best freebies and fun family ideas for homeschooling.

Keep checking back for more goodies.

Is Homeschooling Stressing You Out?

There are a lot of Moms out there stressing over their children's education due to being new homeschoolers. I want to offer up some encouragement for those Moms.

Is Homeschooling Stressing You Out?

• Do you wonder whether your children are learning?
• Does it seem like the longer you homeschool, the harder it gets?
• Do you sometimes ask yourself how other Moms seem to homeschool their children, keep their houses running smoothly and still hang onto their sanity?

If you answered "YES" to any of those questions this is the book for you!

This an awesome book that Lori a member of my blog recommended and it has been a great help to our homeschool. It was a very fast read for this very tired momma. Author Barbara Frank has been there, done that and shares some wonderful information. As a veteran home educator, Barbara offers up some wonderful encouragement.

Here are a few goodies from her book that you will learn.
Learn how you can: 

• Get past the “public school” way of thinking by customizing lessons for each child.
• Boost your self-confidence by learning how to measure what your children have learned.
• Reduce your stress level with “115 Organizing Tips for Homeschoolers.”
• Free yourself of attitudes and habits that make homeschooling harder than it has to be.
• New chapters in The Imperfect Homeschooler’s Guide to Homeschooling include:
• Top Ten Tools for Homeschooling Parents
• Reclaiming Your Child
• Homeschooling a Child with Special Needs
• Do You Know Where Your Math Manipulatives Are?
• The Freedom You’d Have If You Sent Your Kids to School

No time like the present to read a good book!

My ideas for you? Get out of the house and hit the apple orchards and pumpkin patches!!

Have a wonderful week.
