Homeschooling Week 7

Week 7 is getting better.  It only took us 1 1/2 weeks to finish this week up.  Some of that was because of Halloween and we took a couple days to make sure that we got a pumpkin and carved it :)  Hopefully next week will be a lot better.

We are slowly getting back into a real routine.  At this point I'm worried that with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years might really mess us up.  We are going back to PA for Thanksgiving so I am going to have to figure out how I want to work around that.  I might take a couple small things back with us but I think I might split a lot of it with the week before and then Monday and Tuesday.  If you home school how do you deal with Holidays?  Especially if you are already behind where you wanted to be?

Homeschooling Week 6

Week 6 still gave us a little problems actually getting through everything in 1 week :(  Right now unfortunately it is taking us about 1 1/2 weeks to 2 weeks to get through 1 week worth of school.  At this rate I'm not sure if we are ever going to get through the whole year!!! 

I'm hoping and praying that we are able to get back into a good rhythm in the next couple weeks.  I just have to force myself to do schooling with her.  I sometimes try to put it off until later in the day and then it becomes lunch and nap and it never gets done.  I am also still trying to figure out what to do with Baby K while working with A.  Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Homeschooling Week 5

Week 5 has been the hardest week yet for us.  With some major personal trials going on since September it has taken us over 3 weeks to get through 1 week of schooling :(  Since A still naps in the afternoon (yippee!) we only have mornings to really do our school work.  And sadly just about every morning has started with a phone call that has lead to my whole morning being taken up :(

Things are finally getting back to normal and I will have everything set to go for next Monday!!!  I am looking forward to getting back into a regular school routine and for A to be more engaged.  We have 2-3 extra weeks worth of schooling to fit in somewhere.  And with holidays coming up I would really love to have some extra time to add in some holiday crafts, for both kids!!!  Here is to hoping things get back on track next week!!!  And stay on track :)

Smoobee Magic No Cry Brush - Review

Our brush with stickers!

I really don't remember how I came across the Smoobee Magic No Cry Brush :)  I know it was on someones Facebook page but sadly I can't remember what page.  And I really wish I did remember because I would like to thank them for turning me on to this awesome product!!

When I first saw the Smoobee brush I thought that it could be really cool and hopefully make my life easier.  A has beautiful, long, "Rapunzel" hair (as she calls it).  But it is super fine and knots quickly and horribly.  It is a fight with her every time to brush her hair and it ALWAYS ends in screaming and tears :(  It drives me crazy but I don't want her to walk out of the house with her hair a disaster :)

Smoobee's Facebook page is full of wonderful testimonies and adorable pictures.  They love hearing your thoughts on their product!  And you can see some adorable brushes that little girls created.  As well as get some awesome advice!!!  You can also check them out on Twitter and Pinterest!
