Another Friday is upon us… how is it that it is almost the end of August? I saw some red leaves on trees in the park… got me very excited for the cooler weather and upcoming holidays.

I have some high hopes for this weekend, as simple as they may be…

Here are some of my weekend wishes:

make some bread with the girls using this recipe

breathe easy and cough free

enjoy some apple themed food with friends

introduce my middle girl to the wonderful world of dance classes

The First Day of “School”

23 Aug

Today was a lovely little reminder of one of the finest pleasures of homeschooling… getting popular places like the zoo all to ourselves! We got to actually see the animals, including the most adorable baby rhino every- Juba, who was born July 1st… rhino’s aren’t the cutest animals but this little guy is pretty cute! Later in the afternoon we had some art, picked carrots from our little urban garden, and talked about DNA and evolution… not bad for a typical homeschool day!

I love making lists… I make lists when I am bored, stressed, feeling creative, feeling happy… lists, lists, lists. Short term goals, long time loves…. lists! Here is a lists I made last night:

Do you enjoy making lists?

Here are some ideas for fun lists of your own:

Superpowers you would love to have

Favorite pieces of clothing

Things you would do if money wasn’t an issue

Other names you wish you had

Jobs you had

Morning routine

Favorite quotes

Things you would like to learn

Places you have been
