I have found a few webpages that I have enjoyed. I have added color pages that found – Links to the original sites are below…

So for those who do follow our blog and family know that we are gamers. We love all different types of games. Last month, Shelby, Michael, Larry and I (Kris) took a Carnival Cruise for Shelby’s 21st birthday out of Long Beach. Larry and I love to go on cruises since we can “unplug” from technology for a little while…

It is that time of the year. The summer for public school kids in our area is coming to a close. I love that we have a bit of freedom in our homeschooling. We have a handful of projects to still get worked on our homestead for this summer season Our aquaponics system is being put back up. In this…

As a homeschooling family, I try to think outside the box. I have 4 who are ages 9-13 and several are special needs. We have a great little chunk of land, many animals, homesteading, cooking from scratch. But how do I tap those needs in a different way, OUTSIDE the BOX? We are taking a different approach this year.

Now that the kids are bigger (and some are driving), they like to go out and some of them have created their own geocaching profiles too. Geocaching is basically a GPS “treasure-hunt”. You are looking for…

Creating Lapbooks for your child’s homeschool program is a GREAT way to bring out that budding crafter in your house.  Lapbooking is a creative way to use a file folder and create a “book” or research report.  Our house tries to break out of the normal routine by creating a lapbook and presenting an oral report on the topic.    [download…
