Who would have guessed that 2020 would be one for the history books when it started. It’s been strange, unexpected, and even good at some moments. As we reflect back on all that was and wasn’t this year, I’m sharing my Top 10 posts from the year.
With 3 growing kids, one thing is true: they are always eating! We have worked hard for lunch times to become self-service this year. but of course by mid afternoon at least once they are asking for snacks! We are always looking for new and easy snack options, and our own home-made trail mix, easily fits the bill.
Homeschooling is also a lifestyle, so for us, it’s important to find ways to include our homeschool Dad in our learning, even if he is not able to be in our classroom during our morning school time. We have found ways to use Dad’s strengths to help keep the house running smoothly and to share the teaching load.
3 years ago a friend let me in on a little secret. This secret has changed the way we explore when we travel, and it’s educational! The National Park Service lets you earn Junior Ranger Gear at most of their locations, you just have to ask! I have fond memories of earning the Wisconsin Explorer patches during our annual family vacations, so this sounded like fun to me.
There is no doubt that a field trip or vacation to St. Augustine, Florida will be full of history. As the oldest city in the US, it has a rich history. We have visited 3 times and still enjoy returning and finding new hidden places to explore.
