Homeschooling as we travel North America, one road at a time.
I know, it's Saturday but I thought I would try my hand at joining into Five Minute Friday again after several weeks away. I enjoy participating in this group since I find the word prompts really make me think but, unfortunately, I do more thinking than writing and tend to let the days slip away… Continue reading Place {Five Minute Friday}
For this week's Blogging Through the Alphabet it seemed to my girls that Disneyland was a natural choice. I admit it, we are a Disney family and have been since I was a little girl. I can remember visiting the construction site for Walt Disney World before that park opened, we were so excited that… Continue reading D is for Disneyland {Blogging Through the Alphabet}
Our family was very happy to receive three Unit Studies from Homeschool Complete. These unit studies, titled Parks for grades 1-3, U.S. Symbols grade 2 and Pioneers for children in grades 1-6 are a great variety for us to use with EJ and his little cousins. There is a lot of simple work to keep the… Continue reading Homeschool Complete {My Review}
Continuing on with our travel through the alphabet, I decided to feature a quirky but historic Mexican restaurant that we like to visit whenever we're in the Denver, Colorado area, Casa Bonita. This restaurant and entertainment center has operated in the same location for over 40 years and is well known in the area for… Continue reading C is for Casa Bonita {Blogging Through the Alphabet}
Winter travels can be a real challenge so families like ours need to be flexible when making plans for getaways. This week was a perfect example. Daughter #1 had a week of vacation time so we decided to drive down to Boise, Idaho so she could visit the home office of Scentsy (she and her… Continue reading B is for Banff National Park {Blogging Through the Alphabet}
With winter storm warnings and advisories happening all around us we decided to stick close to home for V1's vacation this week. Imagine our pleasure and surprise when we spotted the new Blondies Cafe right here in Canmore, Alberta. We loved visiting Blondies on our BC road trips last summer and can't wait for this… Continue reading Blondies {Wordless Wednesday}
Here goes, week number one in our next round of Blogging Through the Alphabet. How did I decide to choose Abilene, Texas? Well, you see we had a bit of an adventure this past November that found us spending a few days in Abilene after being rescued by an auto club tow truck in Lorraine.… Continue reading A is for Abilene Texas – Blogging Through the Alphabet
For the past several weeks our family has been checking out the IXL Full Annual Membership from IXL Learning. This learning program is different from others that we have used, containing lessons for kids from Pre-K through Grade 12. Rather than being a complete curriculum, this program teaches but also helps identify your child's strengths and… Continue reading IXL Learning Annual Membership {My Review}
Every time we begin loading up our vehicle in preparation for our next road trip I somehow get that silly little song from the Muppet Movie stuck in my head. You know the one with Kermit and Fozzie moving right along in a Studebaker? (I found a copy of it on YouTube you might like… Continue reading Blogging Through the Alphabet as we Travel Around North America
For the past several weeks our family has been reviewing the latest G. A. Henty audio adventure from Heirloom Audio, For the Temple. As we always do, we've loaded up our digital version into Google Play Music and have been listening to it on weekend road trips and while doing errands around town. Recorded in the… Continue reading For the Temple from Heirloom Audio {My Review}
