I will remember… camping with the kids {Emerald Lake, Vermont}

Camping Emerald Lake

I will remember… His thousands of questions on the ride up, how he asked to “see the d’rekshuns” over and over, and  used the tourist map to guide us home… The way neighboring campers treat you as… well, neighbors… How people smile when they see little kids camping… The mushrooms we watched growing day-by-day next […]

This summer’s camping adventures weren’t always pretty, but we did have quite a bit of fun! Picture Books About Camping! Here’s a few of our favorite […]

Meet the happiest little campers… (plus tips for camp clothing for kids)

So we love camping. The tent-camping kind with dirt, and firewood, and trees, and real fire, and marshmallows all gooey till you wonder why did we think S’mores was a good idea anyway? (I confess to a secret longing for a pop-up camper so I can have a “ready-to-go” homeplace everywhere we travel)! But that’s […]

Recipe for happy road trippers

Ours has been a summer of road trips and day trips… camping trips and family visits. You’d think I’d have this packing thing down to a science. Checklists? Yes, in spades. Forgetting things. Also, yes! Now that the baby is older, we’re being more spontaneous. We might decide to take off for a park picnic […]

What’s on the trail where you live? We had fun t What’s on the trail where you live? We had fun this week exploring different ecosystems than usual! (More to come!) We looked for manatees & gators (struck out on both counts), but found turtles, schools of silvery circling fish we can’t figure out, fiddler crabs, saw palmettos and cactus!!
Always delightful to make a departure and explore a new trail’s flora & fauna!
Curious if my Handbook of Nature Study friends know whether that book adequately covers different areas of the country? #handbookofnaturestudy #trail #exploretheoutdoors #trailhike #getoutdoors #familytime #homeschool #homeschoollife #homeschoolmom #homeschooldad #homeeducation #homeeducator #homeschoolcollective #sunshinestate #familytravel #travelingram #outdoorfun #momofboys #relaxandunwind #roadschool (kinda!) #fieldtrip #familyfieldtrip #homeschoolfieldtrip
Tell me what you’re most proud of your kids for Tell me what you’re most proud of your kids for this school year?! For me (so many things!) it’s the many pieces of writing my boys created (we used the @iew program this year). We have so enjoyed meeting with other students to read and discuss structure and style together! I think in total they’ve created 20 pieces of writing in various genres, plus the extra poetry lessons I’ve done with my boys through the year.
Today they decorated the room to celebrate the final reading of their formal literature critique papers! 🎉We discussed transitions between paragraphs, favorite genres and pieces, and complimented all the great writing we heard. What a great year of writing!!  Looking for spring or summer writing classes? Just send me a DM because I’m preparing those now!
