Whew! We survived another year of homeschooling. Oh me oh my, hurray!!! I got my undergrad degree in Child and Adolescent Development and then went on to get my California Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, taught in a public school, but somehow being the teacher to your own children is a whole different ball game. It’s definitely more challenging! Though when I look at what they’ve learned and accomplish this past year, I’m so proud to be part of all that.
This week’s learned, link, and thankfulness…
Homeschool year 2 done and now we’ve got a 1st & 2nd grader! Woot! Woot!
I have various projects piling up, so though school’s done, it will be a busy June!
Love my t-bar clogs from Lotta. I’ve been wearing them everyday this week.
If you’re wear a size 7 shoe, don’t miss out on these vintage beauties!
I am more sane when I get quiet prayer times, so thankful for those moments to pray. I need it.
Tomorrow’s a special day for Ben and me. It’s the day I became his girlfriend and we’ve been together for 11 years now! I really should finish writing up our love story. How he asked me to be his girlfriend is a seriously good story. Well, at least it is to me.
We are VERY excited about last night’s San Antonio Spurs steal in Miami! Ben and I were on such a high after the game last night and I kept watching replays of this play this morning. Tony Parker is amazing and I think he looks like Ben. Our house will be full of craziness for the next week and a half until the NBA championship is settled. Go Spurs go! #beattheheat #3moregames
It’s Friday. School’s done. Spurs took game 1. June 8 makes 11 years. Game 2 is on Sunday (so nervous!). I think this weekend is starting off great! Woot! Woot!
Please please please finish your love story! I really enjoyed following along and was sad when the posts stalled.
From a fan down under who’s still waiting to be someone’s girlfriend…! xx
I’ll try to get working on that soon. Just keep being patient and “the one” will come along!
Yes, I love stories! And I love your blog. The photos are gorgeous and you are always going on the cutest adventures with your family 🙂
Thank you!
Your family is beautiful and I so enjoy the posts! Just had to fess up that I ordered the T Strap clogs, so im so glad to hear theyre comfy. (and im in San Clemente so the chances of rocking them in the same place are less;))
Have a wonderful summer,
amanda
You’re going to love them! They’re my fave pair of clogs!
I’ll have to say I’m sad that Miami Heats arrived to Finals but I’m glad that Spurs got the first game! And I was thinking how Parker really do look like your husband (or is it the other way?)
I think Parker looks like my husband because Ben’s about 10 years older, so he’s the original mold. 😉
I’m so happy for you and Ben!
Your obsession with Lotta is slowly but surely becoming my obsession and I really, really, really want to get some clogs! We’re going into Winter here so it might not be the smartest idea but I think, for those shoes, I’ll brave the elements 😉
Congratulations on the home schooling success! 🙂
Wear them with tights! 😉
would you ever share your homeschool curriculum and philosophy choices? i am a mama who homeschooled for kindegarten and loved it but it was super hard. and i want to keep at it but the teaching my girl to read was gruelling at times. any hints on what worked for you folks i would absolutley love to hear!
I think the curriculum I used made it better for me. I was deathly afraid of teaching reading. I taught 4th grade in a public school and I loved that grade because they already knew how to read and we just get to focus on comprehension and critical thinking skills. I will have a homeschool post coming this coming week or next! So stay tuned!
yay thank you so much! i know your super busy mama, so thank you for taking the time!!
