HSMJ the one about frogs, gifts & Truly Scrumptious

In my life this week…

When I commenced my new adventure with The Schoolhouse Review Crew I never in all my life imagined the blessing it would be to our family.  On Thursday this week the postie arrived with a 14.1 pound box couriered from the US with a new math program for us to try.
I was also blessed with a blog award by Homeschooling for His glory :)

In our home school this week…

• We explored our new math program
• Went to watch the stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
• Started a new piano home learning program.  I am so impressed and Sir N could not stop talking about it.
• Our tadpole became a frog!
