Back to School: Last Summer Getaway with the Big Kids

Shared by Leave a comment

Disclosure: Dollywood provided my family with two tickets to Dollywood and Splash Country. All opinions and text are my own.

 

We have a huge gap in our kids’ ages with our oldest two being 14 and 12 while our little ones are 3 and 20 months old. Typically, we vacation as a family, but my in-laws just moved to town, so we thought we would plan a fun getaway with just the big kids while they kept the little girls for us. Although our little girls would enjoy the trip too, we wanted to be able to invest special time with our big kids since they are growing so quickly before school started back.

Pigeon Forge has been one of our absolute most favorite quick vacation destinations for as long as I can remember. In fact, my family used to travel there when I was a little girl. Since we only live about an hour and forty-five minutes away we take quick getaways to Pigeon Forge as often as we can. Our family especially loves Dollywood and Splash Country. Since our big kids’ youth group was planning a trip to Splash Country and my husband and I are youth workers, we decided to plan our getaway so that we could meet our youth group at Splash Country after we went to Dollywood. continue reading…

Even though we’ve always homeschooled our kids, we attend a local Cassical Conversations Community each week. To document that we are officially back in school, I love embarrasing my kids with “my first day of school” signs every year. It’s such a great way to capture a specific moment in time so we can look back and see how much they change from year to year. continue reading…

top 10 list for new homeschoolers

We are about to start our 8th year homeschooling. With experience comes some wisdom or perhaps I’ve just learned a lot from my mistakes in the early years. Either way, what I “thought” was important in the beginning, isn’t nearly as significant as it once was. Every summer when I clean out our homeschool room for the upcoming year, there are some truths that I pledge to hold fast. As a new homeschooling mom, or even with some years of experience, we can learn from each other’s mistakes.continue reading…

Homeschooling: Your Questions Answered!

Shared by 7 Comments

 

 

I mentioned in a post a couple of weeks ago something about homeschooling on the Time 2 $ave Facebook page and was blown away by your response. First, I want you to know that I do not have it all together. If you’ve been hanging out with us for any length of time, you’ve probably heard me say that I’m unorganized and I’ve got ADHD. Although this is my fourth year, I am still figuring things out. I feel closer this year and feel like I have a better understanding of what our day should look like, however, in saying that we are still a work in process for sure. To answer as many of your questions as possible, I thought I would do a Q & A for this post as an introduction into our homeschool world.
