Noah started preschool this week. He absolutely loves it. Having Noah attended preschool a few hours a morning frees up a little of my time to work with Jude. We are still trying to establish a daily routine that works best for Jude but ultimately we play each day by ear. Jude works best when…

Christmas is only a few weeks away. I honestly haven’t started my Christmas shopping but I now have a pretty good idea of what I’m going to be getting the boys. Kids love toys.

One of the challenges I face with Homeschooling Jude is his insatiable appetite for learning. He needs to be constantly consuming or regurgitation information almost constantly. I think it’s awesome that he loves to learn but it can also become burdensome when I also have to keep 2 toddlers entertained. So we have started to…
