Where to even begin…. Fifteen plus years ago when Brian and I got married? That’s probably a good place to start. {wink} The truth is, I remember having conversations with Brian when I was pregnant with Elliott about what “school” should look like for him. But soon, those discussions revolved around questions like, “What should… Continue reading 24-25 First Day of School…For ALL of us!

Last Day of School 2023-24
Yes, we did finish the school year last year. No, I have not caught up with life enough yet to document it. But I’d better get it in before we start school again in September!! We had a very bittersweet end of our school year because it marked the end of an era with our… Continue reading Last Day of School 2023-24
First Day of School 2023-24
It feels a bit like a tornado blew in in May and has swept our little family from one month to another so quickly that I truly cannot keep up. There were delightful things that happened during the summer…like Elliott getting to work hard with his daddy helping his grandparents. He got to do “real”… Continue reading First Day of School 2023-24
2023 Last Days of School
You guys. We start school in two days and I haven’t even posted about their last day from last year. You are probably wondering if my kids actually passed their last grades. The kids had their last day at their “out school,” we did two days of exams and then had their End of Year… Continue reading 2023 Last Days of School
First Day of School 2022
Well, we are kicking off our last year of both kids being able to be at our sweet little classical Christian school together. When we first started this school, we bumped the kids up a grade (I’ll save the long story of why for another time). So Elliott was technically in 6th grade during the… Continue reading First Day of School 2022
2022 Last day of school
We did it! Another school year planting seeds and building up these kids of ours in the Word of God and His truth. We studied modern American history this year and boy, oh boy, did we study some HEAVY topics–obviously. But what a gift to get to work through these wars and hard events in… Continue reading 2022 Last day of school

We are having a lovely snow day today. Very, very thankful for the moisture God is providing for us! In fact, our little lake is even slowly beginning to fill back up! Three cheers for snow!! It started off as an ordinary snow day…the kids made waffles and then went outside to make maple syrup… Continue reading 2:22 on 2/2/22
2021 Last Day of School
Oh, happy summer!!! There is such a great feeling that comes from working really, really hard and then taking a BREAK! We all worked really hard this past year and it has been such a delight to RELAX the past couple of weeks. I love our summer-time learning…very different than during the school year. So far Elliott is learning… Continue reading 2021 Last Day of School
2020 First Day of School
2020, a year that won’t be forgotten any time soon. And, like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going and….. And so, it has gone on into another school year here with us. To tell you the truth, this is actually the best school year we have had yet. For that,… Continue reading 2020 First Day of School
Last Day of School Quarantine Style
We had a fabulous school year. Really, it was just fabulous. And part of why I’m forcing myself to sit down and REMEMBER and reflect upon all of the goodness and loveliness and truth that transpired in the 2019-2020 school year is because I feel like we stumbled across the finish line a bit bloodied,… Continue reading Last Day of School Quarantine Style
