In Honor of International Women’s Day, from a Working, Homeschooling Mom

Field Trips, Homeschool, International Women's Day, Miami, Music, Science, Spanish, Work, Working and Homeschooling

2017-03-08-12.24.31.jpg.jpg

In honor of International Women’s Day, I’m wearing my red Homeschooling Mom t-shirt! The girls were completely uninterested in wearing red, because like all homeschoolers (or is it just mine??) they really don’t see the point of wearing something just because someone told them to, or everyone else is. And also, they are apparently hitting the “party pooper” stage of tweendom.

What I love about my working homeschooling mom life, is that I get the best of everything (except sleep).  I don’t HAVE TO CHOOSE, between being home with my kids and having a career. Sure, neither one of those look like the traditional experience  (of either category) for me, but who cares?

And in honor of today, I thought I would share with you how I am spending my day. Granted, this is not a typical work day for me (typical is worse, lol!) — technically we are on “vacation” in Miami visiting family, but you can still see what a day in my life looks like:

So, this is how my day went.

7am Wake up to kid climbing in bed snuggling with me. Glance at the clock and pretend it doesn’t exist for a few more minutes.

7:30am Get up, do bare minimum of getting ready for day. MAKE THE COFFEE. Boot up the computer. Eat plain gluten-free bread with butter, not toast, because I am not at home and don’t have a gluten-free designated toaster here. Get kids moving on getting ready for day

8am Log in and watch webinar for new client who wants me to take over her client-facing training webinars. Drinking the coffee and eating the fake toast while watching. Get kids working on the minimum of school work we brought with us, and youngest doing her therapy exercises.

9am Webinar is done. Direct traffic (i.e. check in on kids, and give next set of directions.) Put on real clothes and brush hair, and prep 2nd cup of coffee. Spend 1/2 hour responding and cleaning out email backlog.

9:30am Call from brand-new client from webinar this morning. It’s a sudo-interview, so I’m trying to sound coherent and impressive still, and taking notes.

10:20am Call ends early, so I sneak in a brush my teeth and wash my face. Check in on kids again, but hubby seems pretty on top of things at this point (he’s finally awake with a couple of cups of coffee in him, as well). Ask kids to set up bags of things we need to shove in car for later today.

10:30am Call with potential coaching client, asking about resumes. Do my pitch thing.

11am Try to hustle everyone out of the house.

11:50am Arrive at Miami Seaquarium. Get in, find cafe and feed family overpriced lunch.

12:30pm Hubby heads off with kids to do homeschool class here. Since he’s off and never gets to do these things (and only one parent can go in with kids) I’m happy to let him have experience with kids. I sit at table and whip out my laptop, to work on multiple work presentations I have been procrastinating on.

womanday3

12:30pm-3:00pm I feverishly work on training webinars in PowerPoint in the cafe, while hubby takes girls to a class on sharks. Where they also apparently dissected fish. And touched creepy, slimy things. I’m perfectly okay with missing this moment in their lives!

womanday1womanday2

3pm Walk around the park a bit so I can actually say I’ve seen something, and my oldest creates an “incident” by dropping her pencil in the sea lion tank and the sea lion tries to eat it. Super proud mama moment means it’s probably time to leave before we’re kicked out.

3:30pm Drive back to in-laws, stopping at Italian bakery to pick up frozen gluten-free meals for me to have for dinner tonight, because it’s pizza night for everyone else. Consider mortgaging the pencil kid to pay bill.

5pm-8pm Celebrate niece’s 15th birthday with pizza and entire crazy loud Dominican family.

And while this is all going on, my mother-in-law does my laundry for me. Either because she loves me, or she doesn’t want me messing with her machine! 🙂

8:45pm Finally home and have kids in bed with lights off, and settled on my bed with laptop ready to work again for a couple of hours before crashing.

So, that’s my day. And yes, I am SUPPOSED TO BE ON VACATION. This is as close as I will probably get to a vacation for quite a while. Because let’s face it, even on “vacation,” women – especially working-while-homeschooling ones – never really get to NOT work. At least this one.

Pennsylvania Homeschool Lessons

Field Trips, Homeschool, Pennsylvania, portfolio

Part of our portfolio requirements is that we cover the “Pennsylvania history” as one of our required subjects. Thankfully, I have an evaluator who is very flexible with how we fulfill that requirement.

I don’t really have an issue with teaching state history really, but having as a requirement that we have to prove is pretty annoying. Also, the fact that we have to prove that we teach it every year. What if “Pennsylvania History” doesn’t fit in with your curriculum design for one year? For us, since we’re focusing on World Geography, and not a historical timeline, it feels a bit out of place and sequence. I could see this being an issue when trying to teach about ancient Greece as well.Of course, when we were focusing on US history and geography it would have been an easy tie-in.

And so, it ends up being a throw in.

For this year, we focused on field trips to learn about Pennsylvania. Being new, pretty much all sightseeing we have done would easily fill in for these requirements.

Also: Glencairn Museum Field Trip

I kept a list of our field trips and then printed them out for the portfolio.

But just so I’d have something “more” to put in that particular section, we did a few worksheets.

Field Trips, Pennsylvania

In April we participated in Glencairn’s Homeschool Field Trip day activities. They were very welcoming to the homeschool community!

All in all, it was a nice field trip experience. We also got a tour of the building, and the girls got to do an stained glass art activity, based on the stained glass art in the building. And afterwards, with it being a glorious day, we had a picnic outdoors on the grounds!

State Geography Fair

04 Tuesday Mar 2014

Field Trips, Home, MFW, My Father's World Adventures

As part of our local homeschool group, us parents are expected to volunteer at least once during the year. So, I decided to organize a “State Geography Fair” for our group. Each family chose a state to learn about and share during the event. This is great fun, educational, and can be as wildly creative as you would like! As a plus, this fits in perfectly with our MFW Adventures study this year – studying US History and Geography!

We chose Alabama, since that is our “home” state.

???????????????????????????????

Our “Welcome” Table – Decorated with 4th of July Decorations!

???????????????????????????????

We set out anything USA we might have at home – puzzles, Leapster interactive maps (my favorite), US geography games, etc. These were to entertain kids if they got bored. It worked!

???????????????????????????????

We made my grandmother’s cornbread (but gluten-free version) complete with a cast-iron skillet, and bacon grease. Needless to say, we didn’t have much left over to take home!

???????????????????????????????

Our report, and several books from our library

???????????????????????????????

Our finished display! (The strings are attached to tourist brochures, connected to the cities they go to on the map!)

???????????????????????????????

Roll Tide, by the way!

 

Organizing this event was super easy. Beyond booking the room, the majority of the work was just keeping track of which family was doing what (trying to avoid duplicates). And sending out an occasional encouraging email to keep them on track. It was great!

Learning Resources and Ideas!

  • Tri-Fold Display Boards – If you want/need these, I found some VERY CHEAP at the Dollar Store!
  • There are tons of ideas you can use to learn about your particular state! The library, Internet, state senators, and more. I’ve seen great items in the Target Dollar Spot section in the past!
  • Maps –  Learn about the topography of the state.
  • Postcards – Perhaps write different people from the state and get them to send you postcards from different areas, telling you about their home town. What’s it like to live there?
  • Flat Stanley – might be a fun project for this!
  • History – Any particularly important historical events connected with the state?
  • Food – Is the state famous for any particular foods?
  • Animals and Plants – What are the state plants or animals?

Here are a few online resources that I have personally found – obviously mine tend to skew toward the elementary years, since that is what I have.

  • Confessions of a Homeschooler US Geography Curriculum
  • Scholastic Teacher Express
  • Free Printable Wall Maps
  • US Lapbooks

Here are part of the instructions I sent out – perhaps this will help you with ideas for your own group event!

Parents,

Please create a display and have your children ready to talk about the state (in an informal capacity) to those who come around and visit your “booth.” Think colorful, educational, interactive, and fun!
 
You are more than welcome to tailor your child’s educational experience to your child’s age and ability. But also remember that those visiting will be of various ages. Of course we can all learn something from any age group – but it might be a good idea to have your child practice talking about their state before they arrive. Maybe even practice some things that younger/less advanced kids might want to know, verses older/more advanced kids (and adults). Just a thought we wanted to throw out there!
 
If you choose to have a food item to represent your state, please have plenty to share! Please make sure it is labeled carefully with any known allergic ingredients. Also, if you are going to need to plug something in, please let us know WAY in advance, and bring your own power strip. But also know that we can’t necessarily guarantee we can accommodate. We will try! Also, please be responsible for any items you might need to serve that food, plates, napkins, plastic silverware, etc.

Jamestown Trip

Field Trips, Homeschool, Washington DC

While we were visiting Williamsburg, we set aside a day to enjoy Jamestown, which is just down the road. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip – we absolutely loved it.

???????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????During the Homeschool Days, our tickets got us a full family tour of both the settlement, boats, and Powhatan village that was filled with reenactors.

???????????????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????For part of the tour, we were able to go down into replicas of the ships, and had a “sailor” tell us about the voyage.

???????????????????????????????I have to say our favorite part was the Powhatan village and learning about the Native American tribe. Because my girls are into all things “princess,” I jumped on the Pocahontas story.  Yes, they watched the Disney movie – but we also watched “The Making Of” part, which talked about the fact that much of story wasn’t accurate. I also found a biography of Pocahontas in the thrift store, of all places, and we read the “real” story as well.

???????????????????????????????We took classes about the Powhatan tribe – how they lived, what they ate, etc. Here is my oldest dressing up like Pocahontas. You’ll be so pleased to know that they wore very little clothes – in fact the ONLY thing they wore was this “apron.” (This is an adult size apron on a seven year old.) My girls spent weeks afterwards trying to be exhibitionists – after all, if Pocahontas didn’t have to wear clothes, why did they? Sigh. Not exactly the lesson I was hoping for them to take home from this!

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Making rope
????????

scraping a deer hide

???????????????????????????????

Scraping out a tree log to make a canoe. My youngest really got into this!

The entire family had a fabulous time, and no one wanted to leave! In fact, after dropping me off at the hotel so I could work that afternoon, hubby took the girls back to enjoy more time there, and check out their museum.

We really could have spent more time there. If you get a chance to go, be sure to take advantage of the tours and classes offered. The volunteers there are wonderful!

Colonial Williamsburg Trip

Field Trips, Homeschool, Washington DC

???????????????????????????????I wanted to share with you some pictures from our trip to Colonial Williamsburg!

I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Colonial Williamsburg’s Homeschool Days. The prices are SOOO much better, and there are lots of events,activities, and “classes” to participate in. Usually they are twice a year, in September and February/March.

??????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????

Forget the doghouse, we’ll just put hubby here!
????????

the auctioneer

???????????????????????????????

I apparently was the only one enjoying the auction.

???????????????????????????????

We loved this because we had just finished reading “Farmer Boy”, about Almanzo Wilder and his oxen.

????????   ???????????????????????????????It was so hot while we were there in September! It easily topped 90 degrees the week we there. We ended up having to buy little hats as souvenirs to help protect our fair skin from the sun. A word of warning – the stuff IN Coloninal Williamsburg is ridiculously expensive. Buy your souvenirs at the tacky souvenir shops in the rest of the city!

???????????????????????????????

The Wigmaker

One of the “extra” activities we did (for just $5 more) was a “Be a Soldier” session. They learned to march, throw a hatchet, and pitch a tent. Hubby had even more fun than our girls did. (Youngest was being stubborn and refused to participate.)

????????

Our Oldest with a “Soldier”

???????????????????????????????

March, 2, 3, 4

Food is very expensive in the park as well. So, to save money, we packed lunches, snacks, and water bottles every day in a backpack. We joked how how you could pick out all the homeschoolers, because they brought their own food. The trick that week was to find a shady place to eat it. This was in the gardens of the Governor’s home and it was one of my favorite spots.???????????????????????????????

????????

The Williamsburg Bathroom. Chamber pot anyone?

What ended up being some of our favorite activities were the free classes at the Museum! First of all, it was AIR CONDITIONED. I loved it for that alone. But they also offered two free classes each day, and we did quite a few of them. And the ladies who led the classes were so sweet and patient with all the kids.I would HIGHLY recommend taking anything offered at the Museum.

???????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????

Creating Our Own Self- Portraits

Our biggest expense in Williamsburg was definitely lodging. For months in advance, I watched Groupon-type offerings, and finally found a fabulous deal at a resort we had stayed at once before. It was a condo-type with a kitchen, which meant we could prep our dinners there. This was important to me since I’m gluten-free – which is sometimes to hard to deal with when traveling. So, we brought several prepped and frozen meals with us, along with breakfast food. When we arrived, we stopped at a grocery store and picked up eggs, milk, and bread. Every morning we stopped for coffee on our way.

We didn’t do much “official” homeschool work that week. I brought some activity pages and colors to occupy the girls at the hotel/condo, but it wasn’t really needed.

Beforehand, we had read some of the American Girl Felicity books, which I highly recommend

So, there ya go. Our trip to Colonial Williamsburg! We spent a week in the area and had a BLAST.

It’s Cherry Blossom Season Again!

08 Monday Apr 2013

Field Trips, Washington DC

I just wanted to update last year’s post about the Cherry Blossom festival in time for you to enjoy it again this year! And look at this! I just found out about a Cherry Blossom Cam! So, you can enjoy the Cherry Blossoms in DC, no matter where you live!

Cherry Blossom Cam!

Original Post from March 24th, 2012

Yeay! We finally were in DC at the right time and were able to visit the Cherry Blossom Festival!

Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate, though. I thought we could beat it, but the rain started about halfway through our visit.

If you have kids and get a chance to visit the Cherry Blossom Festival, be sure to see if the Park Rangers are doing a kids activity tent again! Our girls had a blast, and there were about twelve different activities to choose from.

First, we colored pictures of the four stages of the cherry blossom blossoming.

Then, because my girls love anything have to do with glue, we created our own “cherry blossoms.” This is easy to replicate at home, you just need glue and pink tissue paper!

We also did a leaf rubbing and colored pictures on a “friendship mural.”

My girls’ ultimate favorite part? Once you completed four different activities, you could find a park ranger, who would then administer an “oath” (which consisted of promising not to pick the cherry blossoms, really), and then give them Junior Park Ranger Badges! You should have seen them; their eyes got so huge, and you could tell that they were taking their oath very seriously! They wore their badges with pride for the rest of the day!

And here are a few activities we didn’t do for lack of time. But I wanted to include them for you here, in case you want to celebrate your own Cherry Blossom Festival at home!

Description: Japanese Paper Lantern

Directions: Japanese Paper Lantern

Kokeshi Dolls

Directions:

Planting seeds

Cherry Blossom History Hunt Quiz:

  1. Who first signed a treaty to build a relationship with Japan?
  2. When did the cherry trees come to America?
  3. What two events both happened in 1885 in the National Mall area?
  4. How many trees were burned because they were diseased?
  5. After the trees were burned, how long before healthy trees were planted?
  6. The building of what memorial caused protest in 1938? What were they protesting?
  7. What did Japan give the United States as a present in 1954?
  8. Who led the famous March on Washington two years before Lady Bird Johnson began planting more cherry trees?
  9. How many trees did Lady Bird Johnson plant?
  10. What event on the National Mall occurred from 1986-1988?

If you would like more information about the Cherry Blossoms trees in DC or the Cherry Blossom Festival, be sure to visit the National Park Service’s website.

Field Trips, Girls, Homeschool, My Father's World Kindergarden, Washington DC

Today,  we joined a homeschool group field trip to Arcadia Farm!

The Arcadia Center for Sustainable Food and Agriculture: Website and Facebook Page

SONY DSC

SONY DSC

This was one of the better organized field trip activities we’ve done. First they broke the kids down into small groups and they all went on a scavenger hunt.

??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????

Then, the groups took turns visiting each “center”:

??????????????????????????????? The “Funky Chicken” station. Where they learned all about chickens. Oh, and chicken poop. SONY DSC SONY DSC SONY DSC Oh, and some very fresh eggs. As in right out of the coop. Not cleaned off or anything. SONY DSC SONY DSC ???????????????????????????????

And both girls got to pet a chicken.???????????????????????????????

There was a “cooking” station, where they made a salad – the group got to try it at lunchtime.SONY DSC
???????????????????????????????

There was also a “bees” center, where they talked about pollination, and touch a dead bee to see how fuzzy it was.

SONY DSC

And the composting/fertilizer station. SONY DSC ???????????????????????????????  Plus, we made a friend!

???????????????????????????????

The Arcadia farm has many upcoming open events, and is also planning four weeks of camp this summer, if that sounds like something your family would enjoy! We had a great time, and I think we would go again, especially once the weather has really warmed up and the gardens would be in full swing.

National Building Museum Field Trip

Field Trips, Girls, Homeschool, My Father's World, My Father's World Kindergarten, Washington DC

One of my absolute favorite things about homeschooling?

Field Trips!

The National Building Museum had a “Homeschool Day” in March, complete with multiple classes for children to participate in. We chose a class called “My House, My Home” that both girls could attend at the same time.

SONY DSC

You do NOT want to drive there. Take the Metro. It’s right across the street! And my girls consider a ride on the Metro a field trip in itself!

So, the girls took their class. And blessedly, they informed me that they were “too big” to have me go in with them. Which means I got to spend an hour and a half sitting in the coffee shop. Drinking a cup of coffee all by myself. In peace and quiet. For an hour and a half.

It was awesome.

The price of the class (just $9 per child, I believe) also included admission to the museum (this is not a free Smithsonian museum, sadly). So after eating our snack lunch in the  large open  atrium, we headed to one of the open play rooms!

The girls could have easily played in here for hours.

SONY DSC

???????????????????????????????  ???????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????

???????????????????????????????

Their finished project. It’s a princess castle. With a moat. Can’t you tell?

SONY DSC ???????????????????????????????And just in case you need some “educational justification” to come play here for several hours:???????????????????????????????

I bet My Father’s World Kindergarten curriculum users will recognize these! Yes, in a museum display case! How funny is that???

???????????????????????????????

It’s really to bad that we had to leave early for me to get back to work. Next time, hopefully we can sign up the girls for more “classes” and spend the day.

???????????????????????????????

The ride home on the metro. Why do kids think it’s so cool? Oh, you can get a glimpse of the craft they made in their class – a little “house.”

Raspberry and Apple Picking (+recipes!)

04 Sunday Nov 2012

Posted by MP31W! in Uncategorized

Fall, Field Trips, Girls, Recipes

One of our friends invited us to join them for apple and raspberry picking! We met up at a farm in Maryland.

We spent quite a while picking raspberries, but only about 10 minutes picking apples! The lady in charge of the field directed us down to the very end of the field, and we filled our baskets just by going to one our two trees! Amazingly, we picked 40 pounds of apples in those ten minutes.

Once we got home, the real work began. I had to figure out a way to use up and freeze the apples before they could go bad! Thankfully, hubby let me get this apple peeler at the gift shop on the farm. AWESOME INVENTION. I highly recommend it. It peels, slices and cores the apple all at once. Did I mention how awesome it is??

So, here is a picture of the apples once I got done prepping a batch. I froze most of our apples (poured a bit of lemon juice over them first) to save them for later.

Then, we got busy trying a ton of new recipes with our raspberries and apples. Here are our new favorites:

Baked Chicken with Apple Stuffing – This is super easy and very yummy. But we tend to like a little “kick,” so I might sneak a couple cranberries into the stuffing mix on the bottom next time.

Honey Baked Apples – The recipe calls for cranberries, but I used raspberries this time. BUT, I bet it would be amazing with cranberries too.

But, I think I overcooked mine. Or, maybe using the muffin tin wasn’t the best idea. I thought it would be better to help keep them from tipping over.
This is what they looked like with served up. I definitely need to try this one again to see if I can fix it.
Caramel Apple Pie – If you like caramel apples, then this is the pie for you. I’ve made this pie twice now, and it is actually pretty easy. I’ve never made a pie before and was able to do this well. One suggestion I’m gonna try for next time is to put the caramels into a food processor and turn them into shavings. Otherwise you get little gooey caramel pieces stuck in your teeth while enjoying all this yumminess.
It looked a lot better before I attempted to cut it. I haven’t mastered that yet.
Here are some other recipes we tried, but I don’t have pictures of.Smoked Sausage and Apple Bake – This one was good, but a little too much sauerkraut for me. Hubby liked it more.

Easy Raspberry Chicken – We prepped several of these ahead of time and froze them together in Ziploc bags. Not quite as pretty as the picture, but it is super yummy and easy on our busy days.

Raspberry Chipotle Sauce – Oh my goodness, this stuff is AWESOME. I make this with a pork tenderloin. I made several batches and put them in Ziploc and froze them. Which reminds me, we really need to eat this again very soon!

The Proverbs 31 Woman (nasb)

Description of a Worthy Woman

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
