Well, we survived our first official week of homeschooling… This week we had slow starts to our mornings as Emeraude still having issues sleeping through the night but I continue to try and find solutions to that and have not yet lost hope that it will be conquered (though the frustration [Read more]
I needed an activity that didn’t require any physical ability and very little cognitive ability (when I am in a lot of pain, it can be difficult to concentrate so activities that don’t have many rules or steps are great) and Emeraude received so many beautiful and educational gifts for [Read more]
More Play-doh fun… Emeraude received so many wonderful gifts for her 4th birthday. One of these was Play-doh from Marraine & Parrain (they gave her a dress as well!) Sunday, she could not wait any longer we took out all the play-doh accessories and began opening tubs (there are many!). [Read more]

We discussed differences in the sizes/types/colours of our seeds and tried to use what we learned from the last tray (sticking to one seed / square; not [Read more]
...did not think of it as Emeraude had started singing and had me enthralled lol (she makes up her own songs about whatever is going on at the time and I really just sit back and enjoy the performance - I never know what tune she might come up with or what the lyrics will be like so she has me on [Read more]
