This And That!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving yesterday. We enjoyed our time together as a small family! We had plenty to eat. When we got done eating and enjoyed some family time we put our tree up as we always do.  My kids are the main ones who do the decorating of the tree. The decorations are made by my kids. They done a awesome job!!

I have the best sister in law. I can pretty much count her for any thing!!! She has a blog that I would recommend following her! http://crochetamommy.blogspot.com  She is always posting all kinds of neat and awesome stuff!! She crockets, knits, draws, and all kinds of crafty items.

Thank you for stopping by and reading!! Have a great day!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

With it being less than two days till Thanksgiving, I wanted to stop in and say Happy Thanksgiving!! Tomorrow I will start my cooking for my family! I am going to be very busy in the kitchen!! While my kids play and enjoy tv. I have many things to be thankful for!  
Things I am Thankful for:
1.) God for giving me this life I have.
2.) My family
3.) My families health
4.) A roof over my head and food in our bellies
5.) I am also thankful for the soldiers and their families who gives us our freedom that we have

We all have blessings in our lives!! It may not be exactly what we want but at least we have what we have!! I was taught as a child, to remember there is always someone out there that is less unfortunate   and has less than we did! And til this day, that's how I look at things and teach my own kids!! Remember as we sit down to eat with our families and say grace, remember the ones that can't be with family, or the ones that don't have family to be with!! 
One another note. Let's eat plenty and be with our families and have fun!! 
Thank you for stopping by and reading!!
God bless everyone and have a blessed Thanksgiving!! 

Homeschooling And the K12 Community On Facebook

As I have mentioned in several of blogs my daughter is home schooled. But yet have two boys in a B&M school. I starting home schooling my daughter cause she was having it hard in reg. school. My daughter was not learning and she was so nervous in reg. school that she just hated it. I got the idea to home school cause my sister in law home schools her only child. But I didn't think I do could do it. I know without a plan layed out for me I would not make it far and my daughter would fall more behind. So, right before school got out I cleaned a house for a lady.  We had got to talking how my daughter was doing in school and how I wanted to home school her. That's when she went to telling me about  a online school that was free and paid for the school books. It is called K12. It is though the states school board. K12 lessons is online and offline and gives the flexible to do work at your paste. You can do it though your state for free or pay for the books and you do it on your own. But recently, I found a online group just for the K12 Learning Couches!! And have got to say, I am loving being apart of this group. They are friendly and nice bunch of  ladies. I have only been apart of the group for only a couple of days, but I feel accepted and your questions and comments are respected!! All of them understand how it is to home school and how it can come over whelming to try to learn it all by yourself. I have yet to see anyone put done or get any disrespect for a question they have. Someone is always there to answer and help out!! K12 also does your lesson plan for you!! So, all you got to do is make sure your child does the work! Also lets you be apart of their learning process and lets you know what your child is doing in their lessons!! Just wanted to share something that has brought joy and happiness to mine and my daughter's life!! Thank you for stopping by and reading today!!

Easy And Fun Day!!

Well, hello again!! Well today was busy, but yet I had fun and enjoyed it! First, went to eat lunch with my boys at school today. They do a Thanksgiving meal where family can come eat with the students. They also do it where you can eat with all your kids at the same time, instead of eating with one then turn around and eat with the other one. But anyhow that was a treat for all of us!  They are out of school all week next week. So, we have things planned!!
  My daughter is home schooled as I mentioned in my first blog.  I do her home school though K12.com. She is loving it.  We done all work for today, yesterday. So she wouldn't have anything to do today. She is also out of school for the whole week next week. Which makes it easier on me. Because of doing school work when boys is home is a pain.  She also got an unexpected surprise today, her bff came up for a short visit this afternoon. So, she got to play with her for almost 5 hours today before she had to go back home. My daughter's friend had to month over a month ago, and when they moved they moved three hours away. So when she gets to come up and visit, we make time for them. When she came up she brought the dog she got for birthday last month. Which I got to get a picture of. Didn't realized that small dogs had so much energy until I meet this little one!! And he was so cute!!

I also enter a contest on facebook about a week ago! Which is nothing to new for me lol. But any how, won me a nice key chain with my int. I am enjoying it. There is a chance will be having the woman make me a couple to give to some really close family for Christmas!! 

 

Well that's it for today!! Thank you for stopping by and have a really nice weekend!!

One Week tO Thanksgiving and Drawings to Share

Hello, My family is preparing for Thanksgiving next week! I am very excited as Thanksgiving and Christmas is my favorite holidays! To me it not the food or what we receive. This time to me means time with family! Family is the world to me. My two boys has things coming up this week with their school they are excited for.  One has a field trip tomorrow and both have a Thanksgiving meal at school with family on Friday! And yes my hubby, my daughter, and myself will be joining them. As I have done this since my oldest has started school 6 years ago. I enjoy going and doing this with them!! My daughter is trying to finishing up and catching up her homeschooling work, so she wont have to do any makeup work on her week off! We plan on doing a family night over the weekend to rest up and get ready for the up coming week!
  For the last 7 years I haven't got to spend the holidays with my dad. So, he sends me letters often and draws for me. Which  I am going to share today. The reason I am sharing is to remind why we do Thanksgiving and to remind to be Thankful for we have. I have many things I am thankful for. My family, my health, and my health.

I do wanna do a shout out to my nephew. He has made me very proud!! He has been saving money to help others in need. He is doing this on his own without anyone couching or making him do it.  He has already put some toys in the toys for tots on his last trip to Walmart!! But he is not stopping there, he still saving money to do something else to help someone in need. He only 9 years old. So, my kids and me have been taking what spare change we have and save it, then give it to him for his mission.

Thank you for stopping by and reading! Have a wonderful week!
