Live, Laugh, and Learn with the Silva's

So it has been a while since I posted. I kept telling myself that I should just sit down and do it but didn't want to find the time. I was frustrated with the way things were going and feeling like I was totally our of control.

But the last week and a half have been great for me. I have received a lot of answers to my prayers as well as direction of what I should and want to be doing for my kids, my family, and myself. I feel very renewed. I feel more in balance and feel like the kids are getting in to the schedule.

I've started using trays with activities for my tiny tot, a lot of the ideas came from http://1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com. I also found a great blog with awsome ideas and inspiration at http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/ I've started using the work box system to a point with my 4 1/2 year old. He loves it and I feel a lot more organized.

We have started some fun Christmas activities this month and the kids look forward to something new each day. I've been trying to plan my curriculum for Jan to May and finding some great ideas as well as taking some inspiration from my kids on what they want to study. My husband is a little sad he will be missing some of the fun while he has to go to work.

My husband has also been helping try and design my blog so I like it. It's coming along great so far and I'm feeling better about all the decisions that I have made recently.
