We just finished reading through this book about the hilarious misadventures of this deranged gentleman turned knight errant, and needed a Quiz to add to our grades. This quiz works well with the version of Don Quixote written for kids (James Baldwin) but it should also work with the novel written by Miguel de Cervantes.

We have been using the lesson from Under the Home, but the audio book versions are not currently working. The site still has lots of useful information and lesson plans though! We were able to find the audio version on YouTube as well.

This weather has been wreaking havoc across the country, and our area has not been spared.

Embracing a Slower Pace: Simple Habits for a PEACEful Year

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well. We are coming out of a cold spell here, and happy to see some warmer temperatures. We have not set any New Year’s resolutions as we want to develop some lasting habits and routines that help draw our family closer. We will continue to work on routines that we have established, while adding new ones slowly.

I have a lot of plans for our family, home, and blog this year, and I pray that GOD will lead me in a way that I can inspire others and help them to create some simple habits that lead to a peaceful year. We will be focusing more on intentional living, making rest more of a priority, and creating a more peaceful rhythm for our family.
