School Time

Hello my wonderful readers! I'm going to share with you what Penelope calls "school time" we do during the week at home. We are starting to discuss school options public vs homeschool. So until we decide that we do school time at home. Since Aaron works on Saturdays we don't really go anywhere, so its just like another weekday normally. We do school days on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We only do it for about 15-20 minutes a day because that's all that she can really sit for at one time. On Monday's she has Pioneer girls, Tuesday's we go to Moms group, Wednesday's we review the week before's letter and number and do some flashcards with shapes and colors, Thursday's we do the new letter of the week and go over the take home part of the Pioneer girls lesson from Monday, Friday's we go over the number of the week and continue the lesson from Pioneer girls and then on Saturday's we do her Leap pad book with letters, numbers, daily routines and seasons. Also everyday we change our chart that has the month, day of the week, season and weather outside. She can say her alphabet in full and numbers 1-10. She knows most basic shapes and colors. I think she is doing really well for a 3 year old. We also color a lot of the time, which she could do for a long time and be happy. I hope you enjoy this little share of our "school time."

Bucket List for 2018

Hello my wonderful readers! Happy New Year!!! This year I decided I am not going to make resolutions but more of a bucket list for 2018 because does anyone ever really keep their resolutions? If you do, your amazing! But I never do and always have the same ones every year and never keep them. My bucket list is going to include things I really want to do for myself and things I want to do with my husband and kids.
I'm going to start by recapping some of the good things about 2017:
1. Watching the babies grow up their first year was amazing.
2. My brother and sister in law got married!
3. Aaron and I celebrated our 4th anniversary, crazy what we have done in 4 years of marriage.
4. Penelope started Pioneer girls which she loves!
5. Just our first year as a family of 5 was a highlight.

Now onto my 2018 goals:

1. Get on track with our finances.
2. Feel better physically for me and to be a good example to our kids
3. Get on track spiritually, read, pray and attend church more for the right reason
4. Be a better mom in general all around.
5. Be a better wife, have more patience
6. Be on my phone less.
7. Take the kids outside of the house more
8. Take the kids out somewhere once a month for the day
9. Read 4 books this year

Maybe around March I will do an update on how these are going.
I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year 2018!!! All the Love to you and yours!
