Living as a mom

Archive for the ‘Homeschooling Projects’ Category

Out project To Do list keeps getting longer. Do you have this problem in your home? I can’t seem to keep up with the day to day things. Then we add on a few things and the whole system goes out of whack.

Currently, we have seeds to plant and a garden bed to prepare. We have a homeschooling curriculum that I have to organize and read. Plus we have the remnants of the Tinker Bell party to clean up. Now we have added the wonderful new project of assembling a table for the kids. Will we ever finish all of these projects?

Almost everything on our To Do list is related to homeschooling , so I am hopeful that we can work together to get things taken care of for the kids’ sake. It looks like our next few weekends will be filled with school preparations. I suppose I can look at it as a learning experience for the kids! We can even consider it family time.

How do you keep up with the TO Do list?

Yesterday living as a mom was magical! I was reminded why I stay at home with my children and why homeschooling is the right choice for us.

We were snowed in today with predictions of a foot or more of snow. (We never actually got that much snow, though.) It was Read Across America Day in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and I wanted to do something to celebrate the day with the kids. Preschool was canceled for C4 because of the snow, which meant we weren’t going to invite any friends over to celebrate the day with us. Besides, I never seem to have time to get things set up in advance these days, and my office is a disaster, so I wasn’t actually ready to have a party today anyway. But I was determined to make the day special. I convinced the kids to play alone for a bit so I could actually get things set up to make stove pipe hats like the Cat in the Hat.

The kids loved the project! They were so proud of their work and kept returning to it over and over. I loved think up the project and doing it with them. It was a joy to watch the kids play and enjoy something that I put together for them.

Living as a mom is rewarding!
