Fantabulous Family Vacation

Looking for the best family vacation ever?

How about luxurious accommodations.....

Fine dining,

and an exciting itinerary
to satisfy everyone in the family?

After a morning of rockin with your girlfriends

You might like to relax in the whilrpool .

Or perhaps you'd rather a natural stone shower.

Of course there is always to option to enjoy both...

Some even prefer to forego the bath,

for a leisurely dip in the lake.

And when the children are resting,

you could sneak away for an afternoon cruise,

Enjoy a bit of theater....

Or simply ride off into the sunset

And enjoy the view.

That's what I'm talking about!

As an adult, my dad joined the military and raised his family across the USA, with 4 year stint in Okinawa. Last count I had attended 16 different schools before finishing high school. Don't ask me to recreate that count. My memory isn't what it u...

Waldorf What?

When the link to Homeschooling on a Shoestring was published , there was some discussion about the overview of teaching styles. A friend of mine, who happens to be a very talented artist, was curious about the Waldorf Style. We hadn't heard of it before, at least not under this label. According to the post, it is a teaching style that integrates head, heart and hands. It involves art, faith and lots of hands on activities. While there are many elements of Waldorf philosophy that are not compatible with our Classically Catholic teaching style, we have occasionally borrowed ideas to make our curriculum more colorful and whimsical. Follow this link to Serendipity for free downloads of creative lesson plans and charming stories about fairies and gnomes that will make language arts and math the favorite subjects of the day. Since the author is all about keeping it Catholic, you will also find stories of the saints beautifully woven into the presentations. I imagine our summer will b...
