Just found some really cute pictures in my post ideas folder from earlier this year and thought I would share some with you. I found the most adorable brown paper sensory activity for babies. I honestly had totally forgotten about this super simple sensory activity.

The weather turned cold like 20 degrees cooler then the day before and the wind blew in. It’s now truly feeling like Fall. I have also noticed the leaves starting to change colors and drop. What a perfect time for a Fall Nature Hike.
I wanted to get out of the house since the sun was shining and hubby was home. Originally I wanted to go to a festival but by the time we would have gotten there less than 2 hours remained. We loaded up in the van and headed out anyways but I changed our destination to a local park with creek, nature trail, and two small playgrounds.

I do not have an art degree and never took art classes beyond the required 8th grade art class. I even got a C in Art in Elementary because my teacher was looking for talent instead of grading on instruction and effort. This really left me with a negative view of art although I have always been very creative. I never learned about Famous Artists, Art Periods, Techniques, or all the fun that art truly can be! What could be better than free art lesson resources?

My children exhausted all the art dvd’s from our local library. It was very nice to set-up the laptop or tablet with a video, lay out all their materials , and let them be free to “have art class”. The only problem was they wouldn’t STOP after one lesson! Oh, no they wanted to finish the entire dvd! Since there is an interest in art I figured I better find more free resources to hone in and sharpen their talents in areas like shading, sketching, perspective, and proper use of materials.
You can learn about ART with a variety of free art lessons from all over the internet! You can learn from home. You can teach your children or you can facilitate a group of children or friend’s while you all take an art adventure together.

Since this is the third week of September and Labor Day is now past say Goodbye Summer and Hello Fall. I am going to share some pics of what we did this past week or so just to give you a little more glimpse of our lives as we start a new homeschool year.
Just a few days ago, right at the start of a 90+ degree heat wave, Princess said, “I just wish it was Fall since I have lots of new clothes to wear from my birthday.” I told her soon enough if will be cool enough to at least wear jeans. She is my little fashion plate and has very good style sense. She has done her own hair for the most part since she was 5 or 6 which puts her mom’s attempts at style to shame,lol.

For a family that enjoys music we rarely listen to Classical music and we have not done any Famous Composers study like I had thought we would. It certainly is NOT due to the lack of FREE resources but just the time it takes to plan and remember all those resources! I am taking away the excuses by gathering up so many free resources it should last us our entire homeschool careers! Check out one, some, or all of these incredible resources for Famous Composers study and tell me how you plan to use them or which you found most helpful.
Maybe you need free resources for other homeschool subjects like: Spanish, Handwriting, or Busy Bags for the little ones. I’ve got you covered. Hop on over to any of the highlighted links for more free resources. If you have a subject that baffles you and you would like free resources then please leave a comment and your topic just might be the next one posted!
