Alright, folks. Science is probably my most prep intensive subject and I am ALL DONE (YES, YES, YES!) for the upcoming year. I am so excited to dive into our four science units this year. Two units are repeats and two are new and it’s going to be awesome. AND this will be Sarah’s first …
{PREP} My Father’s World All Aboard the Animal Train
I still can’t believe that Benji is going to be starting preschool in TWO WEEKS! I really am in complete denial about it. Jacob and Sarah were both begging for school and Ben has more of a “whatever” kind of feel about it. We will see how it goes! For our first year of preschool …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Handwriting Doodles & Pre-Writing for Littles
We are BIG fans of The Good and the Beautiful handwriting workbooks. They are simple and pretty much entirely child led and teach beautiful handwriting. AND if your kiddos love coloring {mine are addicted} this will be a slam dunk for everyone involved! What age should I start? This course is super simple but I …
Backyard Campout
A couple weeks ago, Sarah told me that summer was her least favorite season because we do a lot of work. Oops. This summer has definitely been full of work, especially putting in our yard! So Mark and I thought we would surprise the kiddos with a backyard campout! They were SO excited. We set …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Level K Primer
This was our second time going through The Good and the Beautiful Level K Primer for language arts and it remains so good.

{PREP} The Good and the Beautiful Math Level K
This will be our second time going through The Good and the Beautiful Math Level K and I am so excited. We waited for this math with Jacob and it was completely worth it. He is solid in math and I attribute it completely to this program. And Sarah is SO EXCITED to begin! Since …
Dinosaur National Monument
“The Green is greatly increased by the Yampa…and the waters waltz their way through the canyon, making their own rippling, rushing, roaring music.” — John Wesley Powell — Last week, we were supposed to be heading north for our Berning Family Reunion but it was cancelled. We were so bummed (but completely understood). Since Mark …
{PREP} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Level 3
Getting Level 3 ready to go this year was incredibly easy. In fact, I questioned about even writing this post because you truly do not have to prep ANYTHING for Level 3. But I thought I would share the little extras I am doing for Jacob this year in language arts. Step 1: Answer Key …
{PREP} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Level K
This week I have been prepping language arts for our upcoming year. And this is a pretty easy one to do! Plus, I am adding some extras that I do for our little family. I do want to add right up front – The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts is “OPEN AND GO”. This …
Week at Gramps and Grammy’s
Last week, the kiddos and I visited my parents in Utah. I felt like we came in like a tornado and they were so patient and kind and we loved our time with them. The reason we came was for appointments. I don’t think I have shared much since our initial diagnosis what has been …
