Something our family does on the side, is buy/fix up/sell furniture here and there. It's something we enjoy (Well, something I ENJOY) and it's great to make some extra $$ when we can. As a matter of fact, this has been something my kinders have been around their whole lives: (roadside find)                                                        His very first furniture he painted.

Hi! I know it's been over a month since I posted! Life.... My husband is home! After 18 months of being away, we are getting back into the groove of normal life again... =) It's only been a month he has been home and we are all adjusting very well. He went back to work the first week home, which allowed the kinders and I to press on into a normal school schedule again after the holidays. A

Beautiful Fall days..... We have had such a beautiful fall here in Germany. I think one of the most colorful ever! We have spent our days playing in the leaves out front. Making lots of piles to jump in, and watching our dog burry things in it!                    Picking acorn caps, hunting for mushrooms, our feet shuffling along our daily walks... Seems like as the fall comes, we feel

  Our family Bible time last season was Warrior prince for God, and Princess with a purpose. We studied the Armor of God together, and and watched the Dvd's and did several activities for our bible time over the whole season. It was alot of  fun, and perfect for their age.  I would say this was great for up to age 8 or 9. Today I would like to share some of the resources we used. I

Everyone has a stash of coloring books, maze books and other "fun" activity books for their kinders... Presents from Grandma, road trip left overs, costco specials,  etc.... I pick many up from yard sales and thrift shops because they are so inexpensive. Then, what happens? Well in our house, out of sight out of mind. =) Even though my kinders love coloring, they are on the art shelf waiting

Bunnies! Baby Bunnies! Lots of them! This summer has been quite an adventure with "animals." Our neighbors rabbit's had bunnies a few weeks ago.. and we were able to see them and watch them grow! We actually own two rabbits. One boy and one Girl. But they live in "seperate" homes. =)  It was a wonderful learning experience to watch these babies.  So I decided to take it a step further and study

For a long time I have been wanting a pretend & play treehouse for the kinders.... There are some really adorable ones out there.. but also pricey. They range from $75-$125.00 plus shipping.  So I decided to make one. And here is my little Tutorial! Here were my inspirations:                              Here is what I did. I found an old wooden plant stand for just $2.  Differant sizes

Sometimes, the thrown together events at the last minute are the BEST events! As part of our Summer Bucket List with our friends; we wanted to have a family night of camping in the back yard. But the weather just wouldn't allow it each time we planned it. We actually gave up on the whole idea.  Thursday we all met at the pool since it was so warm (90!) ; and here in Germany you better go if

I love that he wanted to have his birthday at home, ( i gave him several choices) and that he loved having just his family. We decided a few years ago to stop doing large parties, and opted for family and a best friend or two as they got older to spend the day with them.  I always felt like I was so busy

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening We focused on animals, their tracks, life in the winter, simple poetry introduction, and caring for those around us. Well the first thing we did was head out on a walk! Lucky for us we live in

This weekend was a wonderful weekend! It was the Kaiserslautern homeschool conference. Very encouraging! More on that later...I wanted to post on the Sue Patrick Workbox system. There were several ladies at the conference who hadn't heard about it yet.. actually all but 1. =) So it's very exciting to share something new! Workboxes are an organizationl system used with any curriculum/ages to

Hi!Spring is officially here in Germany!!!! We had the most beautiful weather this past weekend... somehow you forget about the terrible winter that wasn't so long ago. =)This week we took a break from Five in a Row studies, and did a unit study on Butterflies. I wanted to do something "spring-y" =) I personally had so much fun with this one!Easter weekend my KT invited the big JC into heart! So

The days are getting shorter..... We are feeling the countdown is here, and Daddy's last days with us are going to be over before we know it. While we are dreading the very moment, we are trying to not think about it, and enjoy our time with each other before he goes. But that is SO hard. When you imagine being gone for 18 months, and all the things you might miss about the children.. you start

This week was so fun! We just finished Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey.The Kinders had SO much fun with this book! I was actually quite surprised by their enthusiasm (especially JT being 6 now =) over a book about a duck family. This charming book now holds a very special place in our hearts, and now forever on our shelf. I decided to start making a "Learning Center" for each of our

I know Easter is already passed, But I wanted to take a moment and Share our Easter week with you. I made a huge list of all the things I wanted to do that week with the Kinders, but i think I have to save it for next year... and the next... =) This Easter week was a quiet one for our family. We had a wonderful Easter, and my kinders are alway SO excited for every holiday. They can't wait to

Hi!!A few weekends ago ( yikes, it's been 2 weeks since I posted!) We took a day and headed out on a family field trip.We visited the Gem Stone caves in Idar -Oberstein and then went digging for precious stones! It was such a fun and WARM day! Its located about 40 min outside of our area. So if you live in the area, make sure you visit...it is great for ALL ages. =) The walk from the parking lot

I was very excited about this news, and looked it up online. Join us on our little journey...The Titanic Exhibit in Wiesbaden.

This past week we "rowed" Caps For sale by Esphyr Slobodkina. One of the kids Favorites! But first, before I share about school with you, my slacking in our past week update was from some Big news for our family. I spent the week unable to truly focus on anything, and just take it easy mentally, as while this news is good in the long run, it's very SAD for Mama and Daddy right now. Most of you

Hi! Well this posting is late...we have all been terribly sick with the flu the last 2 weeks. This set us back a bit. =) Even I am still struggling with a cough. Yesturday was our first day out, and we all were glad to get out! Then the Lord blessed us with a bee-autiful sunny day today! So we spent a few hours outside spring cleaning, we cleaned out the garden, and even took Naughty Buster for

Being that this is FEBRUARY , we studied the Letter F this week. JT of course already knows all the letters of the alphabet, but I kept him going too with new spelling words, a bit of science and his new favorite... Word searches.=) There are so many things you can do with the letter F, crafts, math games, you name it! Here are some things we did this week. Next week I might continue with F a bit

It All started out with Daddy wanting to start reading JT a Chapter book before bed time every night... He went to the library and picked out a book for them....They just finished The chocolate Touch;By Patrick Catling. JT loved it! Which lead me to look for a lapbook study... With our lapbook ready to go, I then thought how cool it would be to go with Daddy and the family on a Field trip to

Basment Pub to Learning Center!I have finally completed a month long project. We have this great space downstairs next to the washer room in our German home. This is the space: After it being a storage area, the junk room, and a pub that we never used.. I just had to find a way to make this useful for the kids and I. But as you can see. It's not a complete square. It's a rather odd shape becuase

I spend alot of nights these days researching, reading, learning all I can about homeschooling. Mostly on the internet; with some books from Amazon on it's way. (this is a wonderful age to be a homeschooler, there is so much out there!)What's the right curriculum? Are we doing the right thing? What about this theory or that? And all the time during the day, we do our school. Coming of the Sugar

We love our walks. If the season allows, every night after dinner we go for our family walks around the village. This is down the road, we live in the beautiful German forest... some of our best heart to hearts are on these walks... I hope we never forget those moments.... We explore, discover new things, answer lots of questions about Gods green earth ( as boz the bear says) and collect things

Earlier this Summer I was desperate for some sort of schedule in our home, one that the kids could refer to, and we could all benefit from. So, we made this schedule.I had the kids cut out images from magazines of the things we do during the day, then i used clocks so that JT could practice telling the time (and i also wrote the time next to it )... we came up with this large poster.

Mushrooms! Over the fall, the kids and i have taken photos of mushrooms whenever we see them. On our walks, at the park, in our yard... here are some of them! it's amazing how many differant kinds there are.
