While getting all of the Christmas stuff out (yes, already... I think we can all agree we need some Christmas right now), Theron was excited to play with the nativity scene.
As I was telling him the story and talking about the wise men bringing gifts, he said, "That one brought poop." And laughed hysterically...
I will never be able to look at it the same.

It's November 1st, and in my house it means it's officially the holiday season!
Although I hate the cold, this is my favorite time of the year and no one will tell me it's too early 😜
Everly is also NINE MONTHS old today!
Her first tooth is coming in and she has started waving and giving high fives (when she feels like it)!

Grandparent's do it best!⁠
⁠
This weekend, the big kids got to spend the night with Grammy and Pappaw so that Max and I could go out and celebrate my birthday!⁠
⁠
Baking, getting all dirty outside, making rainbow bubbles... The kids had a full day! ⁠
⁠
Grandparents are such a blessing!⁠

Well... It happened.⁠
⁠
I should have posted yesterday, but for some reason, just didn't.⁠
⁠
Yesterday I turned 30. The big 3-0. The final line to cross into big adult 😜.⁠
⁠
Up until 30, you may be an adult, might even be married with kids and a mortgage, but you're still "just in your twenties.." ⁠
⁠
Then 30 hits. Do I feel 30? My back and ankle say yes. But my brain still thinks it's 25. ⁠
⁠
25 is right. It seems appropriate for me. But here we are! 30! ⁠
⁠
What great insights do I have for you now that I'm wise and big grown up?⁠
⁠
I will let you know when my brain catches up, I guess 🤷‍♀️⁠

Gymnastics day also happens to be "kids eat free" day at the pizza buffet!
After the kids have been rolling and running and tumbling around they are HUNGRY!
Last night Harper ate 2 slices of pizza, bread, ice cream, and a piece of dessert pizza! Lol the same child who normally lives off of Goldfish and the energy she drains directly from her mother 😜
In the picture she thought she was SO funny putting the fork on her face and said "TAKE A PICTURE OF ME!"

Thanks, @k12learn and @printfection for our #IamONE t-shirt!⁠
⁠
We are finishing up quarter 1 of our first year of online public school with K12, and we're so so happy!⁠
⁠
I have always had K12 in mind as an option for homeschooling (like, literally since Theron was a newborn) and I am so glad that this year we enrolled!⁠
⁠
Theron loves his teachers, his classes, and the freedom that he has to explore his interests and hobbies with homeschool!⁠

There are a lot of great reasons for your kids to learn code!⁠
⁠
Coding concepts can start to be taught from the time they are TODDLERS! Yeah, you read that right! TODDLERS are learning to code.⁠
⁠
They're not learning HTML, of course, but the idea of creating a set of instructions for a program to follow can start very early on!⁠
⁠
Go check out just a few of the reasons that your kids should start learning to code! ⁠
⁠
If you have my list of 100 indoor activities then you already have a lot of coding ideas for your kids from the STEM and Coding section of the list.⁠

Today Theron asked, "Do I get to see my teacher?"
He absolutely loves his online sessions with his #k12 teacher!
I love that he loves his classes but I also love getting to teach him during the day.
K12 is like the best of both worlds with homeschooling

The moment I have been waiting for since my first

The moment I have been waiting for since my first child's BIRTH... We have started reading chapter books together...⁠
⁠
I decided on good ol' Junie B. for our first chapter book experience and he is loving it!⁠
⁠
You may know that reading is VERY important to me. One of the most important values that I want to instill in my kids is the importance of reading.⁠
⁠
Reading with our kids is so much more than just increasing vocabulary, improving language skills, etc. (although this is a pretty high priority too), but reading gives my children a power beyond anything else that I can teach them.⁠

💻4 Tips for Balancing Remote Work with Kids at

😔For a lot, this has been a stressful month... Heck, it's been a stressful year! It's important to remember to TAKE A BREAK.⁠
⁠
Not just a break from work, but from the world! ⁠
⁠
Even though I'm not very artsy, I have found a lot of peace in just reflecting with my bullet journal. I recently took up a bullet journal and I love that it gives me something to focus on that's low stakes and calming.⁠
⁠
✒My lettering has even gotten a bit better! ⁠
⁠
I have a page for each month's memories, I practice my Lao, track the books that I have read this year, write out topics for prayer... ⁠It's a way to unwind everything that's in my brain somedays.⁠
⁠
What is your favorite way to destress?⁠

💪One of the things that I think really made hom

💪One of the things that I think really made homeschooling/virtual schooling go smoothly for us this year was this one tip:⁠
⁠
🚂🚂Don't try to start full steam!⁠
⁠
About a month before school's official start date, we actually started homeschooling.⁠
⁠
The reason I started early was I wanted the freedom to build up our schedule.⁠
⁠
📚We did NOT start with all the content that Theron is doing today... ⁠
⁠
🕓We did NOT go 6 hours on day 1!⁠
⁠
I think a lot of people have the "Let them enjoy summer!" mentality, which I totally get... But it makes for a REALLY hard start to the school year. Starting with like... an HOUR of "school" every day, we (he) got to the first day of school feeling confident!⁠
⁠
So many #K12 parents are on the Facebook page saying their kids are in tears and it's all overwhelming... And I totally feel for them, because I can't imagine having my 5 year old do all that we do in a single day as his first days of school! ⁠
⁠
Honestly, had I not been a teacher before this, I probably would have been in the same boat. But I remember how hard those first weeks were with the kids in the brick and mortar school. We did a lot of "easing" in with the course work, but they were still jumping into a 7 hour day right off the bat! This made for some tears, even in fourth grade.⁠
⁠
My advice for next year, or for parents who are considering homeschooling, take some time to build up your child's day! ⁠
⁠
Now we do his required K12 work PLUS music (more on the music curriculum we use soon!), Lao lessons every other day, and coding. And we finish the day still happy and ready to play with Dad when he gets home!⁠
