I thought I'd do a mini series taking a look at the curriculums we use around here and what I love about them. First up: Reading and Spelling!

RightStart Math Organization Update & Sale
Lately I've been having Manipulative Organization Envy. Well, to be fair, most days I have homeschool organization envy (my homeschool area is um... chaos). But recently on the RightStart Facebook group, I'd been seeing people using a super duper organized container for all their pieces and well... I decided I needed to try it. I had been using a large Steralite box with all our stuff in it plus a couple extra containers for the cards, but had been taking way too long to find certain pieces in preparation for each lesson.
Homeschool curriculums for the fall!
We've been homeschooling for 8 years now I guess -- if you consider that we are homeschooling our kids from when they are first born! Over the years I've tried various curriculum - some I've stuck with, some I've shelved. This coming year I'll have one in 3rd grade, one in 1st grade, and a preschooler. I'd like to say I've got this all figured out, but I'm far from it! Since I know a lot of people will be homeschooling in the fall and are in a conundrum about what curriculums to use, I thought I'd do a roundup of what we'll be using this coming year. The beauty of homeschooling of course, is if I decide something isn't for us, we can just change it. But I hope this is what we will stick with for the year!

Math at Home
Like most of the rest of the world, we've been home-bound a couple of weeks now. With the exception of not being able to go anywhere, our lifestyle hasn't had to make too much of a drastic change thank goodness, so it does still feel very surreal that the whole world is in such turmoil around us...

Musings on Math
Homeschooling can be frustrating, lonely, and a constant battle of wits. You think your child should have already mastered some basic concept, but you find yourself constantly asking the same questions over and over, floored as to why you are going over this *yet again*.
But in the frustrations, there is joy and hope. Read more...
A Month of Dump & Go Meals
This year I joined Once A Month Meals to assist me with somewhat effortless meal planning. Back in early July I spent an afternoon making the Summer Instant Pot Dump & Go Mini Menu #1 which yielded 18 four-person dinners, and it took almost 2 months before we finished them all!
