A Day in Our Classroom :)

My daughter has started Pre-K this year and although we had a late start, she is making great progress. She really seems to like school, although some days we do struggle. She is retaining what she is learning, and that makes me feel like I am accomplishing something. :) She has learned all her vowels and we are embarking into learning our consonants. I have found that Jacob needs to feel like he is a part of the homeschooling process so I give him some busy work to do while I am working with Hannah. He loves to write in an empty journal book and doodle with a pen. He also enjoys digging through a bowl of dry rice looking for little trinkets that I have hidden in the rice. Trying to be creative is always fun...but that is what homeschooling is all about. I love being my children's teacher!!
This is where we do our school. As you can see, I work with what I have. :) We have a tiny kitchen and that is transformed into our classroom during school time.
 Matching up her capital letters with the little letters. She did well with this!
 Writing her letters.
 Jacob doing his "school". He is a good little pupil! :)

So, that is just a peek at how we do school around here. Every day is fun and sometimes challenging...but so worth it! Hannah is learning and in the process, I am learning about her. She is a good student and I am looking forward to the rest of our year! :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
