Storytime at the Library

we had another homeschool support group meeting today. i'm happy to share that at each meeting there are more new faces excited about the possibilities of homeschooling many of which have joined the support group and are becoming active members! this is what my goal was and it's wonderful to see it coming into view.

before each of our meetings our children participate in the library's storytime. the children's librarian, cassi gwyn, is awesome and so graciously prepares activities especially for our group. this particular day the children got to make flowers using their own hand cut out--this is one of my favorite crafts!!

i look forward to continuing to grow the group and support each parent in their choice to homeschool.

Climbing Trees

i'm fortunate to have a large, fenced in backyard where my children have been spending lots of time digging, picking, stomping, planting, swinging, playing and now climbing. jaya has been anxiously awaiting the day when she'll be able to climb the tree all by herself. (it's a great tree for climbing, i must add!) but until then, she was excited to be "placed" in the tree. her siblings, kari and melvin and our neighbor, eve, joined her.

You Belong in the Zoo!

most people are starting to get that SAHMs don't really stay at home. today i organized a meetup for SAHMs in the area at zoo atlanta to get out with the kids and socialize!! my children always enjoy going to the zoo. we were blessed with a two-year membership, thanks to from grandpa, and try to go at least twice a month. this time we were able to share the experience with some of the friends we've made in the group.

here are a few pictures of the time we had. the day started out cloudy and rainy but by lunchtime the sun was out and in full force! (it was HOT!!)

(SAHM = stay at home mom)
