In my life this week…
Oh the fun of a two plus hour dental appointment to get a new crown (and not the fun sparkly kind, either). And its never fun when an hour and a half in, the dentist says.."Katie, you don't have a pacemaker do you, because we need to cauterize the gumline". Pity me.
In our homeschool this week…
This past week was homeschool "lite" for us as the last week of tax season took over (the joys of being married to a CPA). We did still manage 2 more Dr. Seuss crafts, viewed Horton Hears a Who, and started new math and social studies chapters.
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
Getting excited about our upcoming trip to England. We leave in ten days. In preparation for that, I was getting a ton of "to do"s off my list this past week, like the dentist visit above.
My favorite thing this week was…
Watching Secretariat. The lessons learned from that movie merit their own blog post (click here), but it is worth sharing here that this movie is a GREAT testament to what I have been saying in my blog forever...that housewives can be smart...can be savvy...that we need to know our worth. And it is also a great movie to remind us that "impossible" only means it hasn't been done yet...
What’s working/not working for us…
Started Rosetta Stone TOTALe for French and we love it. Thanks everyone who gave me input on this program prior to us purchasing it.
Homeschool questions/thoughts I have…
"People should be free to find or make for themselves the kinds of educational experience they want their children to have".

ReplyDeleteOuch! I hope your mouth is better! Wow! A trip to England sounds fun! Will you be there in time for the royal wedding? This is such a busy time of year (and no one in my family is a CPA), I think being mindful of this and scaling school back a bit is wise.
