We took a ride down to #ventnornj earlier this week and, while on the beach, got to see Shark Eye Sea Snails in person!! The shells were absolutely gorgeous!

(we put them right back where we found them 😉)

Happy first day of Spring! We couldn't resist getting free treats from both @ritasice AND @dairyqueen today! 😍 Now, the boys are working off the sugar rush in the back yard 🤣🤣

Did you get your treats yet??

The temps may say otherwise, but spring is coming! 😍 I tried to get all artsy when I saw this pretty crocus pop out of our garden. The camera doesn't do it any justice, though.

Don't mind us, we're just learning about the great state of New Jersey over here! 😍

The boys have been learning all about their home state thanks to the 50 State Unit Study from @sonlightcurriculum!

Even better? The 36-week unit study is NOT state specific! One set will let you deep dive into learning about 1 state at a time, but you're more than welcome to make (personal) copies of the curriculum to learn about multiple states!

Learn even more on the blog - article is going LIVE tonight! 😍

Had so much fun visiting @capemaycountyzoo with friends the other day!

We hadn't been in years, but have been wanting to go back for quite some time... especially since I learned of their axolotl!

YES! Axolotls are real and don't just exist in Minecraft 😉 Scroll through and see it!

Also - check out the snake. Absolutely gorgeous in person.

I hope this sweet boy never stops picking flowers for me! 💙 He said he was cleaning up the veggie garden, saw the purple flowers, and remembered I love purple. Then, he remembered that yellow reminds me of my Gramma, so he got some of them, too 😍

(Don't worry, there's plenty left for the pollinators)

3 years into our homeschooling journey and I don't see us straying from it any time soon! (Of course, if my kids want to go back to public, I would let them) Finding our homeschool groove and figuring out what works best for us wasn't easy (and is ever-changing), but making the deciding to homeschool was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Super proud of Matthew for taking his first ASL class!

Taking an online asl class with @mrdmathlive was a great experience for all of us. It was a great fit for our busy family because all of the classes were pre-recorded videos with self-led assignments. A perfect fit for us (and probably you, too!)

As a former special education teacher and a person that's had hearing loss since birth, I totally support him (and anyone for that matter) taking the initiative and learning American Sign Language.

There are a number of educational benefits, too! (Check out my article for the deets!)

If your child has been wanting to learn American Sign Language, definitely check out the classes from Mr. D Math - my son has really been enjoying the classes and has learned SO much.
