The kiddos FAVORITE place has become the Denver Nature and Science Museum. So when Lydie has an appointment down in Denver, we try and make it a point to go. This time we got to enjoy their new exhibit about the Apollo missions and exploration on the moon! Every time I go to the museum, …
This is Benjamin’s first year doing formal read alouds and we are so excited! It’s such a special time and I can’t wait to do it with him. Many of these books are picture books and can be read in one sitting – but there are some early chapter books sprinkled in – that have …
Sarah and I have a pretty exciting group of books that we are going to snuggle and read together this year! Our biggest undertaking is that we want to read the entire Little House on the Prairie series. We can’t wait! Here is our line up:
I love holidays – all of them, truly! However, I’ve always thought of myself as a little bit of a Halloween scrooge. Ever since I was little, Halloween was just never my thing. I don’t like dressing up and I am not really into candy – so for me, most of my life – Halloween …
I love going to the pumpkin patch! I love all of the autumn activities! This year, we were on the hunt for a new place to make autumn traditions and we were led to such a gem. A friend of mine told me about Hometown Harvest Pumpkin Patch and it was the sweetest. The owners …

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …
This year we are shaking up our read alouds a little bit. Jacob really enjoys his read alouds and we just weren’t ready to give those up yet. However, I couldn’t figure out how to make the timing work. I know most homeschool families do one read aloud as a whole family, but I have …
Ben lost his first tooth! Ben had quite the evolution from when he discovered his tooth was loose, to when he lost it! Last week, when it started to get wiggly, he was not okay with it. He did not want any fooling around with it. But then, a couple nights later, I was helping …
FAMILY FUN! This month we went down to Morrison to visit Dinosaur Ridge! This place is so cool. We went here a long time ago (click here to see when Jacob was just a wee little lad!) and it was just as fun as we remembered. Jacob, Sarah, and I have been studying paleontology in …
