It starts out with a small feeling of being overwhelmed. Your baby has become a toddler who has become a child who now has…activities! Soccer, gymnastics, dance, music, art, t-ball, girl scouts, boy scouts, [need I go on??] or any of the other many activities our children love to do – and we love watching [...]

A Day in the Life of a Homeschooler
Our mornings start pretty late, with me rolling out of bed around 7:30, or whichever time our 18 month old, Abigail, decides to wake up for the day. Sophie (our 4 year old) has been awake since Husband got out of bed, so I come into the living room and find her hanging out in [...]
Adventures in Homeschooling (in Dallas)
As the end of the school year rolls around, most Dallas parents are facing the looming question: “Where will my child(ren) go to school in the fall?” For some it will be private or charter schools, for some public schools, and for others it will be at home.

Manners by Mattel: What the Princess Craze Can Teach Our Daughters
When I found out I was having a daughter there was one thing I knew for sure, I would make sure that she never got into Barbie or Disney Princesses. I did not want my little girl to grow up expecting a perfect life of “happily ever after,” or, worse, to feel inadequate because her [...]
Top 5 Reasons I Chose to Homeschool
I remember growing up and meeting the very rare “homeschooler”, and never really thinking that there might be a method to that madness. I just didn’t know people that did it. Kinda sounds like a bad word, like “repeat-offender” or something. How did they come to this insane decision to school their own children? Well, since joining the [...]
Preschool- @ home!
I love the month of August, and not just because it’s my birthday month! I get excited about something else that happens in August. I can’t wait for the time of year when I can walk through the school supplies aisles at Target! Fresh pencils. Cute lunch boxes. Bottles of Elmer’s glue. Clean, crisp calendars. Sharpies. Crayons. Just listing these [...]
