Jaden's glasses came in today, which brings our total number of successful eyeglasses orders from Zenni Optical to four! And yes, I know, the two pairs of glasses Jaden chose look very similar, but that was his choice. There is actually a difference between the two—in both shape and color—but it's difficult to tell at […]
Test Your Geography IQ
This game/quiz is similar to the European geography game I posted a while ago, but it covers the entire world, it's much more fast-paced, and it has a ton more levels. Check it out here! HT: Thanks, A Peas of my Life, for linking to this!
Mmmm—Taco Night!
Our kids are learning to cook as a life skill. Jaden cooked dinner again tonight. He was supposed to cook last Saturday, but our little stove misadventure prevented it. But now that the stove has been returned to full working order, we can get back into the routine of the kids cooking on Saturday nights. […]
Piano Practicing Techniques (with Larry, Moe, and Curly)
As a piano teacher, one of my main jobs is to teach my students how to practice and learn pieces of music at home. Many students tend to practice in a very ineffective way.

Grading Homeschool Assignments
Ever since we started homeschooling, I've struggled with the logistics of how and where the kids turn in their homeschool assignments for grading. We've finally developed a system that has—so far—worked well. The kids each have an assignment list that I generate with our Homeschool Tracker PLUS program. Ideally, they complete their work throughout the […]
Latin Noun Declension Chart
I made a verb conjugations chart a couple weeks ago, and I've finally gotten around to making up a latin noun declensions chart. You can download a printable chart here. The chart was designed to go along with Latina Christiana I so I only included the first two declensions. Next year, when we do LCII, […]
How to Replace a Cracked Ceramic Cooktop (Part 1)
We found replacing our ceramic stove top was cheaper than replacing our entire stove. Finding a replacement for our ceramic stove top was not an easy process. Here is the how and why we needed to replace the stove top in the first place. Early yesterday morning my husband fixed himself some toaster waffles for […]
