Music appreciation curriculum is something that we have struggled to find. I have an idea of what I would like to have in my mind and I do feel like we are getting closer. We finished up our first full unit with Squilt Music and we are sticking with it. What is included? Squilt Music …
{RECAP} January 2020 Schoolhouse
January was a bit of a flop for us with the exception of SCHOOL! We had a great month filled with learning! We are feeling a little cooped up…the wind is just brutal here and makes even short walks pretty unenjoyable. But we have high hopes for February! This month, though, I have had many …
Lydia’s 8th Month
Oh this sweet girl. We love her so very much. She brings everyone so much joy . Lydia grew a lot this month. She is now 17 pounds 4 ounces (39%) and is 26 3/4 inches in length (41%). We are just moving her up to nine month size clothes. She is eating well and …
Brothers
These two boys. Let me tell you a story. A couple days ago we had just stopped school to take our lunch break. I sat down with Lydia to feed her while the other three were downstairs playing. A couple minutes go by and I start to hear Ben crying. This is not abnormal. Ben …
Bowling
We went BOWLIN’! The kids and I were desperately needing a day away. It had just been a hard week. There was nothing in particular that was making it that way – but it had just been difficult. We were so excited though because all month we had a day trip to Vernal planned. But …

{Come, Follow Me} The Book of Mormon
This year we are studying The Book of Mormon and it has already been so wonderful. Honestly. There is such power in that book. There are so many resources out there to aid you in your study and I wanted to share what we are using individually and as a family to study this year. …
Book of Mormon Storybook
This year feels so BIG for Jacob. It is just constantly hitting me how big he is getting. He is maturing and is not so much my little boy anymore. It is exciting to think about all of the changes that will happen this year {and in the coming years!} for him. We are definitely …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Science: Maturation and Sexual Reproduction
We finished up our second science unit of the year – Maturation and Sexual Reproduction – from The Good and the Beautiful and it was weirdly amazing. I say “weirdly” because I never would have guessed that this unit could be so “good” and “beautiful” – but that is exactly what it was. What is …
Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
This little man started Sunbeams on Sunday and he totally rocked it. He walked right into the Primary room and went and sat down with his class all before I even knew what was happening! Sometimes watching your kids grow up is pretty amazing. Other times I just want to cry. Verdict is out about …
