A Goodie for Mom


Enjoying the Fall Foliage from my back deck!

This week has been jammed packed with fall activities since the beautiful fall colors are presently at their peak! We started the week by raking leaves with a group of homeschoolers in the area. 

The kids had the time of their lives piling the leaves high, making forts, jumping in, driving through them with golf carts and using their imagination in the great outdoors. That was Monday. Every single day after that, I simply refused to stay indoors and made piles of excuses as to why we had to be outside! From picking leaves and identifying them to finding Lion's Mane mushrooms in the woods, we were outdoors a majority of the week! I adore this season!

The kids do too, but of course they are not ignorant of what season is coming up! They know that Christmas is on the way since we keep talking about visiting relatives that they haven't seen in for.ev.er. (They are super excited!) And, when thinking about Christmas, I need to start thinking about what to get for gifts! But, I've been holding off until now and might just push it, a little bit longer if I can get away with it. 

Last year, when adding items to my wish list on Amazon I tried desperately to find these super cute Lilla Rose Flexi Clips that are all the rage these days. What I love about these is they not just for kids! Sure, there are kid sizes but they make them for mom's hair too! 


Aren't they adorable! I couldn't find them at the time, but, almost a year later, I have one! Isn't it fun? I will be sharing a review in a few weeks! If you want to treat yourself as well you can order one, here!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too!    Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

  Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand!   (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
