Review: All About Reading Pre-reading

Do you have an eager to read pre-reader? I do. My youngest has been begging me to do school like his big sister for several months. I’ve been staving him off with homemade letter worksheets, books, alphabet & number puzzles. It only lasted so long before he was wanting more. Since we have had ... VIEW POST

Nurturing The Sibling Relationship

I am standing in my kitchen washing dishes when my oldest walks up next to me. In a whinnying voice she cries, “He has my toy and when I tried to take it, he swatted at me.” I sigh, my patience wearing thin since this is the 100th time this has happened this morning. I put my washcloth down and ... VIEW POST

Homeschool Styles

  Something we don’t realize when we all first start homeschooling, is that it isn’t school at home. Rather, it can be a customized education based off of the individual needs of our children. One of the first things I discovered was that there is several types of homeschool styles. I ... VIEW POST

Yesterday we drove all day and into the night.
We went through:

📍Wisconsin
📍North Dakota
📍Minnesota
📍Montana

At some point around midnight my legs and feet really started to swell and I was getting quite uncomfortable with driving for soooooo long. My oldest was complaining of her back hurting so we had a decision to make...

8 more hours of driving to go see Glacier Park. Maybe try to cut it in half by driving 4 more hours tonight or...

A couple more hours of driving to the nearest hotel headed towards Yellow Stone. Which would leave us with only 4 more hours of driving the next day.

I was real tired of being in a car so less time in it was an easy decision.

Therefore, Glacier Park will have to be a whole other trip.

Maybe will finally get that RV? Will this make it any easier? 🤔

Anyone with an RV think it makes a more comfortable road trip?

Anyway, we stopped to move around and stretch at Rosebud, Montana.

This is where the battle of Little Big Horn sparked. Buffalo hunters took over 40,000 robes in this area alone in the 1860’s and 1870’s, shipping them out by river boat. The slaughter disrupted the Indian culture in that area and lead to many bloody confrontations for several years until it escalated to the Battle of Rosebud on June 17, 1876. Which lead to the Battle of Little Bighorn, 8 days later.

Anyway, if you plan to travel and throw in some educational moments with kids, this was a quick 10 minute stop. Now they can say, “I actually saw where the Battle of Rosebud happened so long ago.”

Unable to travel? You can still share this video with your kiddos. ❤️
