We finally wrapped up our school year🙌🙌
*
We are moving to the online school @bridgewayhomeschool next year mainly because Kyle is starting high school. I also realized, as much as I love the kids being homeschooled, I don’t always enjoy nor am I always the most disciplined homeschool mom🤦‍♀️😬
*
But if you are looking for some curriculum choices, here are a few I would do again next year-
✔️ Fix It Grammar by Andrew Pudewa and IEW- loved, loved, loved this five minute a day lesson. We all learned so much and the kids rarely complained!
✔️Spelling You See- 10 minute spelling lessons with excellent writing practice that really work. And there are history lessons in the spelling assignment which we all enjoyed.
✔️IEW Writing- I thought this was excellent. Kids not so much. But they did learn and improve their writing leaps and bounds.
✔️Mr. D’s Math pre-Algebra self-paced online- Kyle LOVED this math. He’s continuing next year. Mr. D is hilarious!
✔️Danica McKellar (wonder Years/Hallmark) Math- Ellie loved the graphic novel type lessons. Ellie has a hard time with math, she loved this!
*
We also used- Story of the World, Confessions of a Homeschool Mom History, Moving Beyond the Page, and middle school science. We supplement with Brain Quest for additional work for Ellie.
*
Feel free to ask me any questions! I know that many curriculums are backed up, so now would be a great time to start planning and purchasing for fall!

Home is where you park it. Or at least try…
*
The great debate since we bought our Class A in May was- will we fit down Mom’s driveway? People, it takes a village. My aunt and uncle, my step-dad’s boys, my sister and brother in-law, the neighbors, and of course, my mom all helped measure and move plants and rocks, or give their best shot guessing if we’d fit.
*
Um, we didn’t. We were hoping to park down in her driveway this time, not up on the hill like we did last fall. The slant and angle of that was fine for the fifth wheel but would be a lot for an A Class. But alas, we still couldn’t make the turn so we went nose first into the angled spot.
*
Problem is, our jacks got confused and won’t retract so we are stuck and at a steep angle. Oh, and it was 115° out when we were trying to get it figured out and we worked on it for four hours. Hopefully the mobile tech shows up tomorrow (service is impossible now) and Tim had to fly to Charlotte for a family emergency this week. So…I’m just laughing because what else do you do? And so, so, so grateful to be here with my mom, the kids having their friends over, and just feeling like we are home.
