Spring!

The winter blues are finally over. Spring is here! Our school books had become so heavy and such a burden; each day felt like an eternity. Once the books were closed for the day everyone fell into a heap to rest. My kids have determined they hate winter.

With the return of warmth, sunshine, and the sweetly singing birds my kids are much happier. The books are not so heavy; the work not such a burden, and the freedom of outside awaits at the end of the school day.

Maybe, now, I will have more time to dedicate to this blog which I never seem to be able to keep up with. I can' t be the only homeschooling parent out there who struggles with the winter blues. The only advice I have is perserverance and try to keep a smile on your face. Both seem to irritate my kids just enough to keep them moving forward.

We only have a little more work before our school year will be complete. Still find it hard to believe we made it through the year without lesson plans. I was tempted to write them out a few times, but resisted.

Planning a bit of summer review and fun extracurricular activities to keep our minds fresh. Again, no lesson plans, just educational fun.

Look for more blog posting soon. My goal is to be more faithful about keeping up with the blog. Thanks for reading!
