12 kids, 400 sq ft, 7+ years on the road...
just a few pictures from around the house… sure we live in an rv – but we still have to do the same chores that everyone else does… tho we did learn not to wash the van here; the water spots are terrible! We spent a past 2 fabulous days off, and while we didn’t […]
This summer we are playing camp hosts on a lake near our hometown. Camp hosting is, ummm, interesting. and quite the experience sometimes. I will admit that I am a bit of a ringleader when it comes to this camp host gig – it’s ‘my thing’, and I love it. Well, usually. I really could […]
If there is one thing that we go through around here, it’s math books. Our tribe seems to always be needing new books to work through, and I am always (lately) looking for some great, new program… This post is a Math Essentials review… When we were in the sticks and bricks, we had set […]
We are really enjoying being on the lake this summer. The weather lately has been unusually hot, and while we don’t often make it down to the swim beach, the kids, especially the littles, have been spending a lot of time in the water… Water out of the sprinkler anyway. The area right behind our […]
When we went to visit the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, besides touring the caves, we also drove around and checked out other areas of the park – like the campground 😉 (imagine that! ;)) The campground has a nice playground, so the kids spilled out of the van, and we let them play […]
Every year, for the past 7 years, we have run a fireworks stand. So, every year, for the past 7 years, Emma has celebrated her birthday in an RV! She has had everyone of her birthdays ‘at the fireworks stand’. Of course this year was no different. Every year, for the past 3 years (since we discovered […]
When we pulled in this spring, we weren’t sure where we were going to live – or at least where our house was going to sit. We actually like camping on the lake or in the mountains, but there are several drawbacks, the main ones being we don’t have full hookups, and Vaughn has to […]
One of things that have become very popular in homeschool circles, and roadschooling families, is curriculum downloads. Homeschool mommas that are even slightly more techy than me (that’d be everyone), often find that downloads save them money, time, and space – they can often be purchased for less money than the same physical product, you […]
While we really like being campground hosts, this campground is also very busy. If we are here, we are generally doing something for the campground. We are supposed to have Sundays and Mondays off, but if it is busy, we end up helping out after church on Sunday directing traffic or stocking t.p. because the […]
Apologia Educational Ministries has a wonderful worldview curriculum called What We Believe; it is a 4 book series that focuses on teaching our children WHY we believe what we believe: this, the 3rd book in the series (they are all stand-alone), encourages our kids to have a servant’s heart. With lots of character/example stories, and application, along […]
We are a fulltime RVing family of 10 (+ 4 more grown and flown) that have been on the road for over 6 years. Nature/creation lovers, Jr. Ranger aficionados, relaxed roadschoolers, and enthusiastic disaster relief volunteers, we are always on the lookout for a new adventure!
