Forgive me readers for I am a bad blogger… I mistakenly thought I would keep up with my writing the first week that fall activities started.

Wordless Wednesday What is Heathen Mom up to?
I bet you are trying to figure out what happens when you combine Heathen Mom, recorders and music books....You can find out in a post later this week.
Simple Nature Crafts
My kiddos love being crafty. It doesn’t matter what kind of craft it is, they enjoy the time we spend making crafts. I view it is a fun way to spend time with the children and to see where their creativity takes us. We especially love activities that combine crafts and nature. Craft time with ...
Aerospace Camp
My son (D) attended an aerospace camp held at Missouri S&T last month. To say that he loved it would be an understatement. When someone asks him about the camp he just keeps talking and talking ...

The year could be described more accurately as testing the waters instead of fully participating. My son did not want to practice as often as necessary to fully benefit from the program. Since he was only ...
Planning a Music Class
I will once again be teaching a music class for elementary students for the fine arts department of our local homeschool group. Last year the focus was on using BoomWhackers and other rhythm instruments. This year the class is going to be a bit different. I will still be using the BoomWhackers ...
