Who made the Tracks, Where do they Go?

Our area is still covered in snow after months and months of seeing white. Maybe there is an end in sight...in the next few weeks? Maybe? Please?
Anyway...we're making the best of it by doing all the Winter "Safaris" around town. We love Lincoln Safari and are proud to say we've been there from the beginning, 3 years ago. If you're local in Lincoln, sign up, if not, vote for the program (Healthy Families Play Outside) to get funding for communities to implement something similar all around the country. (Read more about that HERE.)
One of the winter posts is in Pioneers park, so we packed up the kids and dog, and once we did our post rubbing, let the pup run loose for awhile.
Who needs things when you've got the perfect un-toy such as snow?
Self-portrait of my new favorite bag that replaced old blue after she broke (after 7 years with her!) Don't worry, I'm a seasoned e-bayer. No way I paid that price for my pristine pack!

Are you sick of winter yet?

I am definately ready for spring. We had a gorgeous day this past Sunday and we spent it hiking. There's something about the smell of trees and dirt trails that revives the body. Love the pack too!
oh my that last picture is adorable and yes I'm super tired of winter

So sick of winter! I didn't think we'd bring snow with us down here but we've had lots of it! They haven't seen this much here in YEARS!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov...

Home School Resources: Links we Love

Source: ladyanndeborja.tumblr.com via Sarah on Pinterest Today I'm just sharing a list of my favorite go-to resources for home schooling. It's a list of where I find games, books, crafts, and fresh inspiration. Also included are articles I've loved about home schooling. One of my favorite websites about homeschooling, updated daily, is Simple Homeschool . It's a shoot off branch of SimpleKids & SimpleMoms, and they often have great giveaways, advice, and have concise and interesting topics. A friend recently guided me to World Book Online to find the general requirements of each grade. At the curriculum fair I went to in April, I remembered two vendors that I want to revisit if they return. One was Hepner's Legacy and the other was Miller's Pads and Papers (don't be fooled by the poor websites, they have great products at good prices). TED Talks . Go. Watch. Now. All of them. Awesome. Even if home schooling is a laughable topic to you, you're ...

Lukka's Birthday Interview // 17

17! You're FINALLY 17! You can drive independently, and you have read the manual, watched professional drivers and gleaned tips from others about this test that you've been dreaming about for years. You were given a car by a friend of ours, cleaned it to perfection, fixed it up in places, and have driven your sister and friends all over for the past week in near-unbridled joy. I am so happy for you (and I'd be lying if I wasn't happy for me, too)! You are such a mature and kind-hearted young man. You have big plans and are taking the steps to proactively execute them. You are sweet to your sister even if you'd deny it in front of your friends, and your relationship with her has come full-circle back to being as close as you two were in your littlest years.  You have so many goals and you work hard to achieve them! You prioritize what's important to you, and are willing to cut the rest. Although I sometimes wonder how you will remember to get to appointments with...
