ABC’s of Homeschooling: A- Asian Adventure

justlovemom — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:15:48 +0000

We move on average every 8 months, we travel often and we love road trips, so our life is an adventure, but nothing has been quite as adventurous as this year living in Thailand. Honestly, life has been so different and chaotic this year that it felt that the teens didn’t get much “real” homeschooling [...]

Storing our crayons

justlovemom — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 12:45:11 +0000

We use an old Nutella jar to store Dag’s crayons. This is good for Dag, because she can easily clean up on her own, and that means she can sing the clean up song (thank you Barney!). And it’s good for me because I can just throw her crayons into her activity bag when we’re [...]

We Have Joy, We Have Fun, We Have Yogurt In The Sun

justlovemom — Sat, 05 May 2012 11:02:18 +0000

We’ve had over two weeks of 100F+++ weather. It’s been draining. I don’t want to cook. I don’t want to shop. Air conditioning is expensive and the gas stove leaks heat all over the house. I was feeling pretty whiny about the whole food situation and then I almost ran out of yogurt. It was [...]

Party Time

Yesterday was a day of celebration! Scott and the girls came home from Sri Lanka, we had a little party at our English class and then we all went to a birthday party before verge (and before Scott had to leave again last night.) Our English class has been working so hard. Last we we [...]

He Heard Hannah by Lynnette Kraft and Courtney Becker – A Book Review

justlovemom — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:03:14 +0000

I’ve owned this book since January. I was actually supposed to write a review for it at the end of March. It’s May now. The book sat on my Kindle, unread, and then got buried under other, newer books. It sat and sat and I made every effort to ignore it. Because in this book, [...]

English Camp

There’s something special about our neighborhood. Maybe it’s the way we consider each other family. This week some Bible college students from Canada visited and helped us show our neighbors just how much we appreciate them. We had a “Cultural Exchange”. The students taught our neighbors English and some North American games and songs, and [...]

One Night in Bangkok

justlovemom — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:30:03 +0000

It was a perfect day. Almost magical. An adventure walk across the street with Dagny to see chickens and doggies. A trip on the busy BTS Skytrain to see a movie with the littles; A walk home under a beautiful sunset, only to run into a balloon vendor half a block from home. [...]

God Rigs Football Games

The Broncos won a football game on Sunday. I didn’t get to see it, so I “watched” it on Twitter. The tweets went some thing like this: Pittsburg vs The Guys who are going to lose Wow! Broncos are doing well! Oh my goodness! OT!! and then the internet errupted TEBOW and then.. one person [...]

Excellent WW1 Homeschool Resource

justlovemom — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 15:10:41 +0000

Last night I met Dan Baker, the creator of one of the best World War One resources on the internet, TheWW1.com. Incredibly fortunate for us! We’ve just started studying the 20th Century and will be coming up to the Great War in February. I had originally planned about a month to cover it. Now I’m changing [...]
