Kaia and I are in the middle of her studies on the solar system, so we couldn’t have found this at a better time! In 2011 NASA is sending a Science Lab Rover to Mars and you can put your name on a microchip that will go to Mars with the rover! Kaia loved this [...]

As part of our dinosaur studies, Kaia and I made some coffee fossils. (Yes, that was me who shoved Jasmines head into the clay to see what it would look like!) It was a really simple recipe with very cool results! I love having things like this to do in our home school days. I [...]

Kaia has decided that since I am taking sewing lessons, I must teach her! Now! As often as possible!!! So that she can use the sewing machine all by herself… with no one watching! Hmmmmmmm….. We’ll see. I did, however, help her make a little bag to hold her new fossil collection in. She did [...]
Well, I think the internet might be back up… maybe… it’s slow and keeps going up and down, but maybe they are fixing it. We’ve been snowed in, without phone and internet since the last snow 5 days ago. Let me tell you… After all the snow and indoor time in the past month, I’m [...]
