Day 15 Taking a break

There are days when you just need a break from the books.

Day 14 Meet the teacher....

So I had a request from a friend for a "Meet the Teacher" post since I introduced/interviewed my older boys and hubby. So here goes....

My name is Annie.

When I was younger, I was...

a daughter.

a sister.

a student.

a cheerleader.

a softball player.

a babysitter.

a friend.

Now that I am 30, things have changed.

I am still a daughter and a sister. But now I'm the teacher instead of the student. I'm my kids and hubby's biggest fan so I will always be a cheerleader. I don't play on a softball team anymore. I babysit when needed. And I consider myself a good friend to have.


I am now a wife, mother, accountant, seamtress, secretary, chauffeur, chef, consultant, maid, daughter in law, sister-in-law and I wouldn't give up any of these new titles for the world. I love my life.

Homeschooling is more than just teaching from books. Yes, Reading, Writing and Arithmetic are important, but so is knowing how to clean and cook. It's not just for girls. Both my older boys love to help cook. And they do a pretty tasty job at it too. Trevor and Patrick are responsible for keeping their rooms clean, making their beds, folding their own laundry and doing their monthly chore ( floors or dishes).

A game of Candyland with Patrick during breakfast. 

Helping Mommy change the sheets. 

The correct way to put a pillow case on is to put it on yourself first, then take it off and put a pillow in it. 

Popcorn snack and an unfair dealing of Spiderman Go Fish! He gave me 4 cards and kept he rest for himself. Needless to say, I lost before the game even started. 

I wonder what's in this package....

Bedtime story with a piece of cheese.
