Staying on my Wall--my new article at Homeschool Survival

castle wallI have a new article posted at Homeschool Survival. Sarah's goal for the site is it to be refuge for homeschoolers who are going through hard times. Let's face it. We all go through them at times.

  • death in the family
  • messy house
  • lack of car
  • health issues
  • unemployment
  • you get the idea
My article is about homeschooling during my husband's recent unemployment. It's entitled, Staying on my Wall. I'd love for you to go check it out!

Cool Summer Activity


I just got word from Aurora at Supercharged Science
that her online science camp (e-Camp) is now OPEN for registration.

Click the link below to get all the details before it's too late:

If you're not familiar with e-Camp, here's the scoop.
e-Camp is an all-out totally fun AND educational online science camp.   

Imagine sending your kids off to a really great hands-on summer science camp.  BUT, you get to decide what day and time they go.  This is e-camp.

Plus, It's designed so they can do it on their own - just set them up and they'll be engaged for hours.  So it’s perfect if you don’t have time to work with your kids, or if science isn’t really your thing.
If you want to keep your kids' learning this summer, but you also want it to be totally fun, this might just be the answer.
As a parent, you can feel good because even though they're having a total blast, they're actually learning good
solid science. 
The kind of learning that really relates to the world around them.

Rather than try to explain it all, I'll leave that to Aurora herself.
I have seen her stuff, and I can tell you that she really over-delivers.
Last year over hundreds of kids enrolled in e-Camp in less than 4 days!
Registration for e-Camp 2013 is only open for 3 days, until this Thursday.

I know your kids will have a great summer in e-Camp!

P.S. This year, Supercharged Science has introduced a brand new Advanced e-Camp for teens.  It’s supposed to keep even the “coolest” teenager interested.  Click below to learn about it:

Two field trips in two days!

I mentioned on Thursday about two FREE field trips possibilities on Friday and Saturday.

We actually did both!!

Friday: National Public Garden Day
We went to Powell Gardens in Kingsville, MO.
An opportunity to paint a pot and get a plant.

What happens when you don't clean your toilet.

Just a pretty picture I took.

A mother goose sitting on her nest of eggs.

This one can make me tear up if I
think about it too much!

About the only time she sat down during
the whole visit.
Saturday: National Train Day
My hubby and mija went to Union Station.




Any field trips for you this weekend?
