Write Letters After Moving!💌 (Here’s Why…)

My mom recently told me that my love language is words.  When she said that, I believed her because of what I've seen in myself.  I write letters quite a bit, and if I love someone or am thankful for them, I will often write them a letter.  After moving to Ohio, I have spent… Continue reading Write Letters After Moving!💌 (Here’s Why…)

Biscotti and Meringues

Whether you dunk them in hot chocolate or if you chomp on them as a snack, biscotti are so much fun.  A few days ago I made them for the second time.  I found the recipe in a cookbook called Desserts Around the World.  I found almost the same exact recipe here.  The only difference is I… Continue reading Biscotti and Meringues

Guess What Came in the Mail…

I was totally surprised by the gift.  I opened the box and found fun, cute shoes to wear.  Thank you, Nee-Nee (grandma)! On Friday a box came in with 2 pairs of shoes.  One pair of sandals that had maps on them (perfect for Ch. A!), and a pair of warm, fuzzy boots!  I had… Continue reading Guess What Came in the Mail…

More Than Prizes and Honor

Last night I found out that I placed first locally in the Patriots Pen VFW writing contest.  I received a plaque, prize money, and even a proclamation from the mayor of my town.  But what left the largest impact on me were the people.  When I read my paper, I was trying to speak to… Continue reading More Than Prizes and Honor

Skunks? Oh, no…

Yesterday we had an encounter with the skunk smell.  Maybe some of you have experienced this too, but up until now, all I knew of the skunk smell is the whiff of it I got driving to some activity or other in the car.  But believe me when I say it is not at all… Continue reading Skunks? Oh, no…

A Little PE…🚲

I'm homeschooled, so I don't do PE as part of my school day.  I either have to join a sports team, do some exercise by myself, or do something active with my family.  Today my mom, some of my siblings, and I went on a bike ride.  We live in an area that has a… Continue reading A Little PE…🚲

Week 4: What My Week Looks Like for Challenge A

  I am already on my fourth week of Classical  Conversations, and I can't believe it.  Yesterday I went to CC and I passed the Canada test!!  I am so relieved.  I drew and labeled Canada from memory successfully.  I only mislabeled or missed two bodies of water out of 54 labels. We are now… Continue reading Week 4: What My Week Looks Like for Challenge A

Challenge Accepted!!!⏰

Beep-beep-beep...  It's 5:30 and time to wake up!  I roll over, wishing I could sleep for another 2 or 3 hours and wishing I had not decided to wake up at this time.  I have made a goal to wake up earlier on the weekdays.  But you've got to understand, I am naturally a late-sleeper,… Continue reading Challenge Accepted!!!⏰
