Collage Friday

It's a new year and new exciting happenings here at The Joys of Home Educating.

It's Friday, which means we are sharing our week with you all over at Homegrown Learners: Collage Friday.

Just a quick note: make sure you check back in on Monday when I will be reviewing one of my new favorite Organic products we are using in our home!  A giveaway too! 

For January the girls and I are learning about Antarctica and Penguins for Geography and Science.  Zachary continues with his Physics learnings over at another homeschoolers home.  

I use our LEGO BINGO as a good "downtime" activity during our snack break.  Reading some fun winter books this month. Zachary started Bridge to Terabithia (a big switch from Moby Dick last month).

This is what our play yard looks like currently.  During those high winds storms in the beginning of the week we had a few trees fall. Not too much damage but clean up is a pain. 

I have been crafting for some Superbowl decor!  Molly and made this button tree craft - it now hangs in our art gallery. Sammie is showing us some of her favorite things (aka things she picked up out of the toy box quickly) for Show and Tell time. Molly has been crafting with her Kiwi Crates - Jellyfish Craft.

Getting back into the swing of school after being off for two weeks - hard at work! 

If you missed any of the posts about the January No Spending Challenge you can catch a recap of all the posts HERE   How are you doing?  We are in week 2 now. Keep up the good work! 

Until next time - Be Blessed and Spend Less!

I love the button tree! Also, it really is so hard to get back into a groove when you let it slide for a few weeks. :-)

Ack! Sorry about the storm mess in your play yard. At least it wasn't worse. We used to love getting Ladybug in the mail for Amber. I think we might still have all of hers somewhere. I

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
