Back to school!

It's Tuesday and that means break is over!  I am jumping up and down...we NEED routine in our home to function like the well oiled machine I have so lovingly created! 

 I know today will be met with resistance and probably some whining. 

 The kids also start back with their gym classes and ballet today.  

I have a new set of Sharpies in every beautiful color as well as a new set of white board markers (thanks to the hubby for Christmas) and I am not afraid to use them!  

We are starting our Little Passports Geography unit today, Brazil along with the Amazon.  I am excited to see what 2012 has in-store for The Joys of Home Educating!


Also started back up on Weight Watchers yesterday, pray for will power!

Thanks for visiting my blog...following yours too. Looks like you have little ones...I love ideas for the little ones. My 4 year old is very active. My 10 year old enjoys Little Passport. We don't use it in our lessons, but he loves getting the special items they send.

I thrive on routine too. :) My husband is a teacher, and it was really nice to have him leave again for school on Tuesday so my daughter and I could get back into our normal routine! Thanks for linking up to NOBH!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
