On Monday, we went back to Canaveral National Seashore, but this time to the north entrance. We took the 5er, and found a place to park it in one of the first parking lots (don’t try this when it’s busy!); we then hit the boardwalk…for the beach, where finding our bare feet is the first thing that we […]
Canaveral National Seashore…
By 1 Comment
After we left Orlando on Sunday, we didn’t go far! We drove over to the Canaveral National Seashore, just east of Orlando. While the weather wasn’t ideal for traveling, we had maxed out our 2 weeks at Orlando, and we needed to move on. I really should have gone to the office and paid for […]
Really, finally, leaving Orlando… :(
All good things must come to an end, and so did our visit to Orlando. We had a wonderful time while we were there – we mostly just hung out… and NO, I can’t believe how big Caleb is getting! 🙁 To be honest, we had such a fun time at the park meeting new […]
TOS Review – The Discovery of Deduction; An Introduction to Formal Logic…
There are a few companies that I love to review homeschool products for! These companies seem to always have quality products that are engaging and educational. One of those companies is Classical Academic Press. And this time, the product that I got to review was another of their logic curriculum: The Discovery of Deduction. I received […]

Just a little hodgepodge of notes 🙂 I’ve added a new page to the blog – it’s titled “some of my favorite things”, and will feature items that I LOVE for RVing! I will add to it as I have time… As most of you know, Beth has her own business. She sells Lilla Rose […]
Life in a campground – Orlando once again…
By 1 Comment
After we pulled out of the Welcoming Center in Big Cypress last Sunday afternoon, we had a 3 hour drive to our RV park – back to the Orlando Thousand Trails! We were going to stay just a couple of days to catch up on the 22 loads of laundry I had from our 12 […]
TOS Review – Essentials in Writing review…
Thomas and I (mostly Thomas 😉 ), recently reviewed a DVD writing course from Essentials in Writing. I chose the EiW Grade 8 for him based on what each level taught and what I wanted him to learn/work on; grade 8 is geared toward ages 13 and 14. Essentials in Writing has a dvd based writing curriculum for each […]
Big Cypress Canoe Tour…
On Friday, while we had been in the Everglades, a ranger from Big Cypress called Vaughn to confirm their reservations on the park hosted canoe tour scheduled for Sunday. The ranger said that there had been a cancellation, and that Vaughn was welcome to bring the other kids, even tho one canoe would have kids […]
swamp walk in Big Cypress…
Last Saturday we had to pull out of our National Park site at the Midway campground in Big Cypress. We had initially thought that the campground limit was 14 days, but it is actually 10 days. We had signed up for a ranger-led canoe tour on this past Sunday; that date was the soonest that we could […]
The Everglade’s Nike Missile Site & Flamingo V.C….
One of our days in southern Florida, we packed a lunch and drove down to The Everglades. Our first activity of the day was to go on the park’s Nike Missile Walk. It wasn’t much of a walk at all (distance-wise), and instead of just the guys doing it like we had originally intended, we […]
