It’s winter here in Canada (well almost spring), so getting out and about with a kindergartener, a preschooler and a newborn isn’t that easy.  I also hate the cold, winter, ice, snow, wind and so on.  So, it’s very easy for me to just borrow into a little nest and sleep the bad weather away.  […]

This was our first full week of homeschooling with dad back to work.  Aside from me trying to function with the early mornings, the week went quite well. I actually found that the kids seemed to want a bit of downtime this week, and were a little less enthusiastic about running out and about.  I […]

This past week was our official reboot of our homeschooling adventure.  After a very exhausting third trimester and navigating a newborn, this blog and any formal schooling (not that we really do that much formal stuff anyways) got sidelined.  Instead, we played, watched educational tv and Youtube videos and did lots of reading.  In all […]

Unfortunately, our beautiful extended summer weather seems to have come to an end, and we were stuck with a cold, rainy week.  Since the kids had just gotten over some nasty prolonged bug, I didn’t want to expose their tired immune systems, so we didn’t venture far or out in the yucky weather. Nevertheless, we […]

This week was some kind of crazy! We had a massive heat wave with temperatures reaching the low 40s, which is very unusual anytime of the year here, but especially so at the end of September! Disclosure: Please note that some of the links in this post are affiliate links and if you go through […]

What a week! We had so much planned and organized, but then our colds lingered longer than expected and we just needed some time to heal.  Nevertheless, we still had a lots on the go and just took extra breaks in between.

It’s so hard to believe that we’re only 2 weeks into our first official homeschooling time, as things seem to be flowing together so naturally, that it seems as though we’ve been at it for years! We really took advantage of the beautiful weather this week to get lots of outside self-directed play and to […]

I think one of my favourite things about homeschooling, is how flexible it is.   I’m pretty eclectic in my approach, but will be following my provincial curriculum at the request of my husband.  Nevertheless, the majority of learning will be child directed and really just going off of their interests.

Thank you so much for joining us on our learning adventures! We have officially completed our first week of homeschooling!  Considering that the kids are only 4 and 2 at the moment, I’m keeping it pretty unstructured and following their lead.
