Joy to the World
This last year, I have tried to incorporate some more “holiday” school into our family’s homeschooling life. We did a little something extra for Valentine’s Day earlier this year and then we did “Thanksgiving School” last month. It has been such a fun way to learn something new but also set the day apart as …
Simple Gifts
There has been a whole lot of dancing for Sarah lately! Last night, she had her Winter Showcase which is an informal recital the dance studio puts on in December and it was so much fun. Sarah and her class danced to Simple Gifts and I think it was Sarah’s best ballet performance yet. The …

We would go with other dads and daughters and it was a wonderful tradition with so many happy memories for me. My Dad asked if I was interested in …
Glasses
Isn’t she just the cutest?! Several months ago, Sarah shared with me that she was having a hard time seeing things. It was the usual suspects: the hymn numbers at church, the board in our schoolroom, etc. So I scheduled her an appointment and they concluded that Sarah needed glasses. Her prescription is not “hefty” …
