Softball Saturday

Is there any other way to spend a Saturday??? Not around here! Unfortunately, it was stormy all day, but that didn't deter anyone. R's team played 3 and were out. It didn't actually rain on us during game time but it did lightning and blow and make me a nervous wreck. R played great but I think her team quit a few weeks back. This was the state tournament. One more left-nationals in 3 weeks. We get to play because it is here in Ft Smith. I'm pretty much past ready for it to end. Obviously, these pics aren't from today! Rich is helping coach and this seems to be the only way Mike(FSPD) can keep him under control during a game!!

Charlotte Mason

I read up on the Charlotte Mason style a few years ago before we started school. I am currently going back and rereading and researching. I would like to incorporate much more of the CM style in our homeschooling this coming year. It seems like a wonderful fit for my kids. Right now I want to focus on using narration and more nature study. I'm also trying to come up with a list of living books I want my kids to read this school year.
Looks like the summer issue of The Old Schoolhouse will have lots of CM info and ideas. I can't wait to see it!

Wecome!

I finally decided to try out this blogging thing. I'm not sure what I will say or who will read it, but it is a great place to keep the other blogs I want to read organized!
