We’ve updated a few accessories over the past few months, and it’s time to share some of the changes we’ve made. These are all items that we use regularly and love. All links are affiliate to Amazon (where we buy A LOT of stuff). You pay the same, but we get pennies for our Percy Jackson…
With the “start” of another school year I thought I’d update the far reaches of the universe with our current road school curriculum. After a harrowing, first ever experience putting together a curriculum on my own last year I feel that this year has been pretty low key. We’ve moved ahead in most of their…
Within a day or so of returning home, we started our largest Airstream Project Ever. We are pulling out the queen bed, and replacing it with two twin beds and a toddler bed, leaving the walking space down the middle. We got the party started by removing the queen bed. The bed itself is screwed…
Many of the folks who hear our story assume that we are somehow financially set, that we have the money to traipse about the country living off savings or other residual income not tied to daily involvement. You might be surprised to discover that our finances are likely not very different from yours. We are…
With out realizing it that post was a great tribute to you and other working dads. This has been on my mind a lot the last several months. YOU are working to provide this life style to your family – while Jess is out doing the bike rides, museums, and library’s with the kids, you are working. Don’t get me wrong – I am a stay at home mom – it is work, but it is also NOT work. Not a lot of men are willing to work more so there wives can stay home – it is a great gift you give your wife and kids. Thank you.ReplyCancel
So Sam,you mentioned your headphones but failed to share what you considered to be a really nice set. I’m currently looking into getting another set myself as my current ones hurt after barely an hour. your experience using headphones that are comfortable for hours would be interesting to hear. maybe another blog post when time permits…or a response here?ReplyCancel
Longer answer later, but short answer now: I have the AKG Pro Audio K271 MKII headphones. Closed back, with HUGE earpieces. The large earpieces sit entirely around my ear, not pressing them into my head at all. I can wear these for hours in a stretch with no discomfort. These are not noise cancelling, but the closed back (and some music) handle quite a bit of noise.ReplyCancel
I have a smoothie obsession. I love them. Green smoothies usually, but most of the time they end up puke brown and I still guzzle them. So do my kids. When the time came to pack the van for the trip out to Virginia (pre-Airstream) the Blendtec didn’t make the cut. There just wasn’t room…
I love looking at other people’s curriculum 🙂 Where do you get your test that you used? Our math does a lot of tests but my husband wants the boys to be able to do standard tests so they do not freak out if they go to collage. I have a lot of trouble finding out where to get them though!
We got Spectrum Test Practice Grade 3 from Amazon. It was good test practice and also helped us see what we still needed to work on!
Okay, and also thanks for Story Starters! I just checked it out and it looks great!
You are very organized! I have not found it easy to be organized with our road schooling. We have not purchased a curriculum though each girl has a grade appropriate multi-subject workbook. We end up doing a lot of online learning games mixed with library time, and of course field trips! I need to probably add a bit more structure though.
