Winter Thoughts Homeschooling has been a struggle for us for a while. Longer than I would like to admit. It has just felt like one thing after another has been against us. We really have been struggling even since Lydia’s diagnosing period clear back in 2021. That’s THREE years! That period was hard for obvious …
Thoughts this Winter Was it just me or did this winter FLY by?! I think it probably was just me. I know this winter was brutal for a lot of people weather wise – but it was pretty good to us academically! I felt like we finally got into our groove after months and months …
Thoughts this Autumn It has been almost a year since I have done a schoolhouse review and I am, honestly, really bummed about it. 2022 has been filled with so many blessings. And I hope to write more on that when I get to our New Year’s post. But one thing that has been a …
Thoughts this Winter Oh this winter. As I am writing this, we are in the thick of what feels like MADNESS, so I will try and reflect on the whole winter and not just our current status! This winter treated us really well in many ways. We are still, miraculously, where I kind of wanted …
Thoughts this Autumn This autumn has been surprisingly wonderful for our little schoolhouse. I was worried going into this school year. I was worried how I was going to manage all of the needs of my little crew but WE ARE DOING IT! My day is FULL but oh so good. I feel like I …

Thoughts this Spring If we were as productive this whole year as we were this spring – we would be SOLID! When I did our schoolhouse review for the winter, I was pretty discouraged. We were so far behind where I wanted to be pretty much all across the board. But luckily this spring, doctors …
Thoughts this Winter Oh goodness. As we leave this winter season behind us I am filled with all sorts of feelings. The last couple months have been rough. Ever since the beginning of December when we had Lydia’s big appointment with our developmental specialist, we have been going full throttle with appointments for Lydia. We …
Thoughts this Summer Our summer schoolhouse embraced a “school-lite” atmosphere and it was really great (for the most part). I needed a wee bit of a break. The very first week of June we received Jacob’s diagnosis and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time filling out paperwork and being on the phone working …
I decided a couple months ago that I was going to switch things up a little bit. Ever since we started homeschooling, I’ve been doing a monthly update on all of our happenings. I’ve really enjoyed doing it and looking back on things. However, it was just becoming a little too much work for me …
