a peek inside my window......

I love my blog, I love my blogger world, my blogging friends. I love the sharing and caring that takes place. I love the almost adult conversations I get from my blog. I love peeking inside someones window, and getting a little glimpse into their life. I love letting others peek inside my windows for support, but only on good days! And that's where I have gone wrong. I DO NOT want anyone to ever walk away from my window, thinking WOW now she is that SUPER HOMESCHOOL MOM!!!! I hate when I leave a blog, and feel worst then when I started.

Yes, everything on this blog is real. Yes it's all things that have or sometimes have not work for us, but no my life is not all pretty, perfect and anything like my blogger home!

I wanted to make sure it's all real here, since at times I feel like I give too much of a Super Homeschool Mom attitude.

So in keeping it real around here,
~We just finished folding 3 loads of laundry, that was a Mountain High on my living room couch!
~My idea of folding socks, is to throw them in a basket, and go on a wild search, when it's time to go anywhere. Or better yet throw on two miss-matched socks and call it good!
~The only reason my little girls hair, is usually done, is thanks to their older sisters.
~Sometimes, like right now, I am here blogging, instead of making dinner.
~I yell, and scream...way too much. Even one time is too often in my book.
~We have watched more DVD's in the past 2 weeks, then probably what we have watched through out the entire year.
~Sometimes when I am correcting my daughters math, I have to use my fingers!!! {Shhhh}
~I am always hoping a praying my oldest is understanding his math, so I don't have to try to!! Can you tell, I never did very well in math.
~Most of the time, I can't remember what I just read/saw/hear....just 2 seconds ago...seriously.
~I let my baby sleep, as long as he wants, just so I don't have to chase him.
~The last two weeks I have been locking myself in my bedroom, and sewing... it's all in the name of Holidays.
~I detest the holidays, every time I say we will go easy, not get stressed, and yet...here I am
~I procrastinate.... way more than I should. It's usually things I hate doing.... like planning our school lessons. I hate doing that.
~I rarely "teach" my children, we talk, read, and learn all the time, but I rarely "teach" them.
~My learning room currently doesn't have a floor, or if it does I can not see it.
~My bed, is almost never made.... and usually it's not until later in the afternoon when I put my younger A's on it to nap. My husband usually makes it at night before we go to bed.
~I detest messes, it's the hardest part of my life, to be cluttered, and have things messy. Yet it's main part of my life.

I better stop now, or I might have to go find some CHOCOLATE... to help me deal with my stress level.
Oh well, now you've all seen inside my window.... notice the pile of laundry??!!!???
{pushing the publish button, was one of the hardest things I have had to do on this blog!!!}

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography.  I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose  Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett.  This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

Our Morning Devotional..hopefully with more clarity!

I received a comment/question about our devotional time, Tracy would like me to give more details about our devotional time. {WARNING~ this post has become extremely LONG!!!} First off before I start into all that I'd just like to say I am so glad Tracy decided to comment, and especially with a question!! The main and only reason I blog is to inspire others, help others, and well sometimes it's as close as I get to adult conversation! I noticed that as of right now {as I right this} I have had 787 visitors to my blog... and only 2 people who have commented! The other one is my O' So kind SIL!! Please feel free to comment...because as it says on the Right Sidebar...I LOVE Comments!!! I also want to clarify and answer any questions that I might have stirred in your heads with my thoughts!!! So on with the Question.... We have ALWAYS had devotional time... it's changed and grown with our family. It's what we, Papa Bear and I see as the things our children need. Just be...

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland.  That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4  loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have!  This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and r...
