Making Memories: Baby in Bloom Baby Shower Pics and Life Update w/Recipe Links

Published on August 31, 2024October 21, 2026 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog4 Comments

Wow! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family.

We had a ton of people show up for the baby shower to surround my daughter and son-in-law with love… it was AMAZING!!! I didn’t get as many pictures as I’d liked to have, some of them have been misplaced or accidentally deleted, and I won’t be sharing some that I did get because I didn’t get permission to post them from other people but we will share what we can and hope that it can inspire you. (We also got to go to an ultrasound the day before and see little miss who was very cute!)

Whew!!!!

This weekend was crazy fun and exciting… there is plenty more excitement to come in the next few months though with a wedding and then the arrival of my first grand child… I just can’t wait!

This post isn’t an update on all of that though … we will post soon about that. This post is one that has been on my heart and maybe someone else needs to read it.

Special Request…

Published on July 28, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

Hey there!

We have a special request for our followers… does anyone know how we could get in contact with Ms. Rachel from YouTube?

We have a special friend who has been going through a tough battle with AML and he recently had a bone marrow transplant. This has been an extremely challenging time for him and his family and it would mean the world to them if they could connect with Ms. Rachel.

Thank you all and God Bless!

Life Update – June 2024

Hey everyone!

We’ve been more than a bit busy around here and I just haven’t had a chance to sit down and write about anything… my brain has been in overdrive and my thoughts have been quite a mess but this morning we did have a small window of peace and quiet so I thought I’d sit down and give a little update.

Where oh where to start?

Well, the kids are all doing well. We have had a few doctor appointments but all has been well. We did get one of the kiddos started on a low dose of ADHD medication and what a difference we have seen this past week! It has definitely helped with the moodiness and frequent outbursts… hopefully, she can keep up the progress and not need anything stronger but we’ll deal with it one day at a time.

Our 2024-2025 Homeschool Curriculum, Schedule Plans, Resource Links, and Daily Routine – Lots of FREE resources!

Published on April 26, 2024November 18, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

It’s that time of year again for us… time to get the next school year planned out. We finished up our 2023-2024 school year before Easter and I’ve been busy gathering supplies and making schedules as I coordinate with everyone for vacations, holidays, and special trips that we have planned.

It is always SO TEMPTING to take a few months off to just focus on this house but I know from past experience that this doesn’t go well and that it takes FOREVER to get a couple of the kids back into the school routine. You can read more about last year’s curriculum and routines HERE.

We switched to more of a Charlotte Mason-style approach and it was GREAT for the most part. We still have a couple of kids who just hate anything to do with math so that’s been a little challenging but we’re making progress. We’ve also really enjoyed using some of the FREE courses with Under the Home Homeschool.
