Letters From the Homefront

Months ago, when I began making free printables for personal use and sharing on the blog, I made a few for Fall/Thanksgiving time.  Thanksgiving Puzzles Cornucopia (with miniature fruit pieces to cut and glue inside the 'horn of plenty') These can be found on my  FREE PRINTABLES  page. These have yet to be printed off, and may be something we use for Thanksgiving day while visiting family, so they can have something to keep their little hands busy while giving my husband and I a chance to enjoy ourselves as well :) One that I have printed off and put on the shelves so far, though, is our 'What's In The Pie?' printable! I have a fun, simple printable for you today!!!! These cards are approximately 5 1/2 inches in width, 3 1/2 inches in height.  I altered the way it looks for the post, but in actuality, it's going to print out like this: with four cards to a page.  The set contains six different types of p...

I can't believe I'm saying this.... Our first month of school has ALREADY passed! Where did the time go??? I've not been the most diligent mama-homeschool-blogger thus far. I've not taken as many pictures, or tried to keep a record and post once a week. I'm pretty sure it's been a month, at least, since my last post with pics and talking about what we've been doing. Oh, well - you win some, you lose some.  *Week One* We spent this week getting in to a good routine using our new Work Cards.  For the free printable, go here (look for Daily Work Cards under the practical life section) . I created this to help them be accountable for what they are supposed to do every day (very real practical life) without me having to tell them all the time - especially my older ones. I made their cards personal to  them, with their names, so I won't show their cards, but I have a template of what one looks like.  We had company with their c...

          I JUST HAD TO SHARE! There is a new addition to the blog, one I'm very excited to share! If you follow me on facebook , you may have seen that I have been trying to stretch the limits and see what I can do with Google Docs, while teaching myself how to make some fun printables to be used in our homeschool.  It's always been a desire of mine to be able to not only make my own printables for personal use, but be able to share them with others. They are definitely not of the caliber that is worth selling, and yet - I think someone might be able to use them. So I am offering anything I make for FREE! I'm sure there are many versions of the printables I make that can be found online, teaching the same thing - but I am having too much fun putting these together. I am hoping these will be a blessing to someone!  Just as the graphic shows, you can find the link for these at the top of my page, directly under the 'Home' button. I will ...
