I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

I realized with a start the other day that we hadn’t done our annual blueberry picking trip to Underwood Farms! So I emailed Olivia on Monday to see if her girls were in, and when we were hanging out in Santa Barbara with our CVH buddies, I convinced them to join us, too! We picked […]

This week has been all about the totally last minute field trips with friends. Yesterday, we were supposed to go to a homeschool beach day, but it was 60, overcast, and drizzly–not ideal beach weather. So at 10 am, Jessica, Lynn, and I all decided to drive up to Santa Barbara, instead! The Butterflies Alive! […]

Conejo Valley Homeschoolers has been a blessing to us this year–Tuesday park days (though we haven’t made many since getting Annie) where the kids play and I’ve picked up hundreds of dollars of free used curriculum and talk to other homeschool moms, Wednesday morning classes (most recently, industrial design for Tommy, Zoology for Elizabeth and […]

We coordinated with the Andersons to watch the Dodgers on dollar dodger dogs night. Because why wrangle just five kids when you could have nine in a row, with hot dog buying parents in the middle of the chaos? Annie didn’t care about the action on the field, but she clapped along at the good […]

Tommy, Elizabeth, and Susanna have been taking piano for two and a half years, but with all of our travels, we’ve never managed to be in town when the teacher or studio was having a recital. We also had three different teachers in our first year and a half, which was a bit confusing for […]

We’re trying to spend more time with homeschool friends on the weeks I don’t have too many extra dr appointments in Hollywood or Simi. Last week, the Hamiltons invited us to an outdoor performance of Twelfth Night, and the Cardonas came, too! I often get pictures of the big kids, but here’s proof that the […]

Last week, we found out that some amazing World War Two aircraft were going to be touring the Camarillo Airport, so we met up with our usual Conejo Valley Homeschoolers crew for a tour! The timing was perfect, as we had just watched Tora! Tora! Tora! last weekend as part of our WWII history unit. […]

I just remembered that I’d taken some pictures with my real camera last weekend. The Schaffers hosted Christmas cookie decorating this year, and everyone frosted and decorated to their heart’s content before we sent off care packages to all the first responders who had helped keep our campus and homes safe last month. We have […]
