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

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 […]

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!

This week has been quite busy, but we did officially start school on Tuesday!

Last year I made a list of the books we’d read together as a family, and I was disappointed at how few books we’d actually done. My vision for homeschooling is centered around reading aloud as a family, so this was an area that I wanted to improve on over this past year! I feel […]

We were supposed to have one last beach day with the Fishers last week, but it was cloudy and overcast, so instead, we did a cuddle up and read day! Sunde and I made brunch, Kim brought fruit, the mom and big kids read aloud all morning long, we played Bring Your Own Book, colored, […]
