Homeschool Catalogs
Ever find yourself looking for a catalog to either get ideas from, to order supplies or simply just to see what the rest of homescooling world is up to.
Well look no further! While I was searching for some things ( which I do all the time) I came across this link to a ladies awesome blog where she has helped us all in getting all the links together for homeschooling catalogs!
http://jimmiescollage.com/2014/05/homeschool-catalogs/
Go visit her page and sign up for all you can! I know I have!
Curriculum
How do you use curriculum?
Man, is that a question or what?! I am still finding out that there are soo many different ways to homeschool your child! While I personally believe that you should have your child in a school type atmosphere and learn and grow - that may not work for you and your family.
My son wakes up every morning, does his chores, gets dressed and starts his morning work. With or without attitude LOL!
I buy, print and use many different materials to use for his schooling. I will be bringing you a lot of different links to printables and things that we use, I want to bring you a review of products that I use along with some other items.
Now, I do not just go and buy a box set and go with it. That does not work for us. I will ,however, buy a science workbook and then go find many different printables for the subjects in the workbook and attach it to the pages for extra learning and growing. I will also include videos and artwork into the lesson.
We cover 3-6 subjects a day depending on how we do things, he does have homework when he does not complete his work, and we do take tests! I know, I know! I am just horrible to be sitting here developing a great curriculum for him and making sure that he retains his information by short tests, spelling lists and unit vocabulary! I do what I feel is best for him and the family! I want to set him up for success in his life by giving him the best opportunity for growing and developing that awesome mind of his!
My curriculum varies. Sometimes I must go a grade 'below' where he is in order to get the information that I need - this works the other way too, I go a grade or two 'ahead' of him to get the proper information.
So I ask you - how do you use your curriculum? Do you buy the box sets? Do you make your own?

Married!
With all the CRAZY that has been happening in our lives the past few months, I will have to say - this past weekend was AWESOME!
I got married to the man of my dreams this weekend. While the wedding itself was a little impromtu, it was soo awesome!
Nothing major about the wedding, no extravegant party or anything. We had a nice reception at home. The kids were able to play with some of the other kids who were invited and we got to be adults and mingle! That was great all in its own!

Chicken Alfredo
This was simple and pretty cheak to make too!
1 jar of ragu alfredo sauce (your choice on flavor)...
1 cup of milk
2 tbls butter
chopped onion, garlin, green pepper and tomato
1 pound of cut up boneless skinless chicken (breast/tenders/etc
You want to get a little onion, garlic and butter in the pan to get cooking. Add a couple flavors like poultry seasoning, peppers or anything else you like to the chicken.
Once the chicken is just done (do not overcook it) add in the alfredo sauce. While heating you put in the milk and maybe a little more pepper to taste. Stir frequently.
Once heated spread over noodles ( any kind of pasta really) and add a little tomato and green pepper to the top - and there ya go!
Great meal for the whole family!!
You can also sub out the chicken for some italian sausage and it is great stuff too! Adds more flavor to the whole dish.

20 Things To Let Go Of Before The New Year
I found this and wanted to share it with you. http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-11973/20-things-to-let-go-of-before-the-new-year.html
Here are 20 things to let go of in order to reach unlimited happiness.
1. Let go of all thoughts that don't make you feel empowered and strong.
2. Let go of feeling guilty for doing what you truly want to do.
3. Let go of the fear of the unknown; take one small step and watch the path reveal itself.
4. Let go of regrets; at one point in your life, that “whatever” was exactly what you wanted.
5. Let go of worrying; worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.
6. Let go of blaming anyone for anything; be accountable for your own life. If you don’t like something, you have two choices, accept it or change it.
7. Let go of thinking you are damaged; you matter, and the world needs you just as you are.
8. Let go of thinking your dreams are not important; always follow your heart.
9. Let go of being the “go-to person” for everyone, all the time; stop blowing yourself off and take care of yourself first … because you matter.
10. Let go of thinking everyone else is happier, more successful or better off than you. You are right where you need to be. Your journey is unfolding perfectly for you.
11. Let go of thinking there's a right and wrong way to do things or to see the world. Enjoy the contrast and celebrate the diversity and richness of life.
12. Let go of cheating on your future with your past. It’s time to move on and tell a new story.
13. Let go of thinking you are not where you should be. You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.
14. Let go of anger toward ex lovers and family. We all deserve happiness and love; just because it is over doesn’t mean the love was wrong.
15. Let go of the need to do more and be more; for today, you've done the best you can, and that's enough.
16. Let go of thinking you have to know how to make it happen; we learn the way on the way.
17. Let go of your money woes — make a plan to pay off debt and focus on your abundance.
18. Let go of trying to save or change people. Everyone has her own path, and the best thing you can do is work on yourself and stop focusing on others.
19. Let go of trying to fit in and be accepted by everyone. Your uniqueness is what makes you outstanding.
20. Let go of self-hate. You are not the shape of your body or the number on the scale. Who you are matters, and the world needs you as you are. Celebrate you!
