A Gentle Feast Review: Cycle 2 Wars, Whigs, and Washington

This Gentle Feast review was a long time coming. My children and I are nearly through cycle two, Wars, Whigs, and Washington and last year my oldest went through Cycle one (formerly the Green Year). I think now I have a firm grasp on the ins and outs of A Gentle Feast.  A Gentle Feast is ... VIEW POST

Picture Living Book List

One of my close friends recently asked for a living book list for her preschool age child. Which is perfect timing really since I am in the process of putting one together for my youngest. I’ve been researching, asking other seasoned homeschool moms, then previewing them at the library. I’ve come up ... VIEW POST

How To Get Started With A Nature Diary

  While reading Home Education By Charlotte Mason the section on Nature Diaries came up. Honestly, when I read this passage I was beyond excited-I was thrilled. I love nature, my children love nature, we love our out of doors time and we love our nature walks. The idea of keeping a nature ... VIEW POST

Regretting A Gentle Feast

  I know we've all chased a million curriculum   rainbows. We search for the pot of gold at the end containing the perfect homeschool program and yet we never seem to be able to find it... Perhaps, you have purchased A Gentle Feast and are now living with regret? I know someone out ... 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

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. ❤️
