Our learning space....


Week 2 - School Room Week


As with most home educating families, we don't only learn in one area or room of our home.  

The world is our classroom and we take full advantage of that. Camping, traveling, exploring...learning all the time. 

We are "full time" homeschoolers and school year round. We do take a week off here and there from "formal" learning, however, aren't children learning all the time?


we learn outdoors all the time


at the ocean...



when we are camping....

But what you are probably more interested in seeing is our "home school"...so here you go....

We have purged A  LOT this year...donating over 100 workbooks/books, supplies to other homeschoolers.  We have purchased some new furniture and discarded others. We are a less is more family now!

My calendar board from Pottery Barn is my biggest TOOL that I could not do without.  It's all out there for everyone to see what is happening in our schedule.  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

These pictures above are more of "my resources" as a teacher.  I have to have things in order or I don't function well. 

We school in our dining room of the home.  We also have a computer desk in there by the sunny window. Since most of our "entertaining" happens outdoors, I don't mind having most of our "school stuff" in this room. 

Books, books and more books!  We have 4 shelves full. Not all curriculum related. I have parted with many and for now we are in good shape!

Most of our unused school supplies are downstairs in a craft closet and I go there when needed. 

There you have it....enjoy your day and be blessed!

Love that calendar board!

It's so nice to have a place to keep the supplies, even if "school" isn't contained to one room.

Beautiful philosophy of less is more! We simplified a lot this year, too, and we school all over our home.

Happy Homeschooling!

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...
