Today, in our capacity as a homeschooling family, we were invited, along with other area schools to a sneak peak of the USA Science and Engineering Festival. What is a sneak peak? Well, as far as I can tell, it’s when 2000 instead of 3000 of the exhibitors are present! And, it was hardly noticeable! [Read More]
We’ve always had our favorite fall festivals. However, after recently finding a new favorite museum, I decided to explore a bit more this year and, wouldn’t you know…we found a new Fall Favorite: Gaver Tree Farm’s “Fall Fun Festival.” There’s a Jumping Pillow and slides for all ages, as well as a [Read More]
Who says bigger is always better? Well, maybe bigger is great…but small can be great too! Just ask those of us who visited Weber Farm’s Fall Harvest Festival, the next stop on our Fall Family Fun tour! Weber’s Farm has all of the fun of the other Fall Festivals without all of the crowds!

In recognition of Teacher’s Appreciation Week (May 2-6), I thought I would create a post with some of my proudest “teacher” moments with RJ, my 3 year old son. Our primary mode of “education” in our homeschool these days is through play! He’s 3, afterall! So, we enjoy everything from ice skating and [Read More]
