Lighting the Fire: "Pioneer"- ing with an inspirational author.

Our life in books

This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.

I love the path that God has us on.

We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.

In the past, we have enjoyed the 'MFW Adventures' and 'Exploring Countries and Cultures', and 'Creation to the Greeks',

Rome to the Reformation,

Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

1850's to MODERN TIMES !!

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.

There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

"Pioneer"- ing with an inspirational author.

In case you are living under a rock.

There is a new cook in town, Ree Drummond, she's a homeschooling mom living on a ranch in Oklahoma who cooks DEE - licious food with some of the most mouth -watering photo spreads in her 2 cookbooks. www.pioneerwoman.com

I love this woman's life and I'd like to think that we could be friends, what?

with the 4 kids, the homeschooling, the cooking for the love it,

minus the huge spread of land, the skills with a camera and the show on Food Network.

We are so similar!

A girl can dream.

Jill, my REAL girlfriend, and I went to the book signing at Vroman's in Pasadena. My awesome hubby went to get tickets for me that morning when the store opened and we were in the first 75 people in a line that wrapped three city blocks down Colorado Blvd. Ree was fresh and chatty and had the most fabulous cowgirl boots on. Keepin it real! I can't imagine having to do that for 3+ hours and I like people.

We made a date of it and took our freshly signed copies straight to Chipotle for some tacos!
