Shopping!

Golf by miss Z featuring Nike

Wish me luck...I'm headed out today to shop for some golf clothes. My hubby really wants me to learn to play. Hubby and our two oldest sons play and he thinks it would be a great activity to do as a family... if I only knew how to play! :)

I think I'll give it a try! At least the clothes are cute! :)

A beautiful thing!

First let me just say "Thank you JESUS for the RAIN"!!

It hasn't rained in sooo long in San Antonio, TX and we are in stage three water restrictions.
My grass is..."ahem"...dead!

Well, the last two days have been nothing but RAIN, RAIN, RAIN!
Glorious RAIN!! I'm singin' in the rain...I'm singin' in the rain!!

Movin' on...My last blog entry was about the new home school classroom that I'm putting together. Of course this crazy blogger can't just throw a few desks in a room, a box of crayons and a few books and call it a classroom!! NOO! The room has to INSPIRE!! It has to make you FEEL like learning!!! It has to be BEAUTIFUL and COMFORTABLE all at the same time!! ;)

So while I've been actively putting the classroom together for my kiddos...and maybe for me as well, I did have to actually START school at some point. So this week we did it! We started school on Tuesday and the kids have adjusted just "swimmingly"!!
Nope, not us in the photo...just thought it was a cute "Swim" photo. ;)

I'll show you photos of the new classroom soon,
but for now...If you remember in my last entry, I posted a photo of a sweet little travel bag I thought would be great for our on-the-go classroom...

My kiddos and I do school on-the-run on Tuesday and Thursdays so I needed a way to carry along all the little things we'll need while out-and-about.

Yesterday while waiting for my car to get out of the shop, my kids worked on their school work. See the cute little bag on the floor?
The boys named him Freddie...Freddie the fun bag!! ;)

I also wanted to tell you about this awesome new program I found perfect for teaching handwriting to your little ones. It can be used for beginners or for the more advanced child that needs practice, or is switching to cursive from print. My kids love it!!
Check it out!
They even offer a free trial if you click below. YAY!! Who doesn't love a free trial?

I Promise! You will L-O-V-E it! It's too cool!

Have a great day!!
Fawn

Adorable organization!!

So, I'm in full swing creating a new homeschooling classroom for my kiddos at the moment. Well not at this exact moment since I'm blogging, but ya know what I mean!

There are a few things I need for sure! Two separate desks...to keep my 8 year old and my 5 year old from kicking each other under the table and from the never ending "Stop touching me!...Mom, he's touching me." argument.

I'm LOVIN' this idea!! It would be PERFECT!!!! Now if i can just convince my PatinaSoul hubby that he has to cut my desk in half! ;) ...or maybe I could just screw a shelf to the top of the desk to keep from cutting it. Hmm...but then again, that wouldn't stop the kicking under the table while I'm trying to teach.

Such a cute way to hang a roll of "art paper" for all those art projects!

Great idea for those cabinets...shelves that slide out so I can reach the items in the back!

Wow! Talk about organization!! Too cute!! :)

A closer look

How is this for a way to hang all those art projects!?! I can put them in plastic page protectors, punch four holes, and insert rings!

...And all those days when this "Home" schooler and "stay at home mom" isn't at home...what a perfect lil' bag to have on hand for those class assignments in the car or in the Dr. office waiting room, park or where-ever life takes us this year!!

I am so blessed to be able to homeschool our two boys!

What are you grateful for this year? Tell me... I'd love to hear about it!!
