Georgia Snow Week

I went to Georgia to get away from the snow, but the week after Christmas, I didn't escape it! New Yorkers would laugh that 6-8 inches of snow could shut down Atlanta for an entire week, but it did! The bad thing about this storm was that after the snow fell, it turned to ice. A layer of ice on top of snow is not a lot of fun. Two days after the snow, it warmed up just enough to melt the snow a little. For the next several days everything was a solid sheet of ice. My parents didn't own a snow shovel, so we were basically iced in the house for a week. All the schools were closed all week too! My parents now have a snow shovel and now know the way to avoid 3 inches of ice on the driveway is to shovel it off when it falls!

Snow beginning to fall...

Since there was a layer of ice on top of the snow, it wasn't easy to play in. Laundry basket sleds worked well though! Too bad Addison's snow suit and boots were in NY!

Army families know this drill - take Daddy outside to watch the fun!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult. A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book. While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had. The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year. Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process. Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting. Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends. We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives. While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though... The moments that we fail completely as a parent. The moments that we are to busy to stop and help. The moments we sit in silence and wonder why. The moments when life is just flat out hard. In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war. In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be. I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away. Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer. I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
