Inspiration

This has easily been the busiest summer of my life.  Between baby Oskar (he turns five months in two days!!), extensive partying with my family, and Relief Society responsibilities, I feel like I've accomplished nothing but never had a spare moment.  I've heard this feeling intensifies as children get older and busier.  Frightening.  

The past two weeks or so I've tried to gather myself together a little and remind myself that the summer will end and homeschooling will not.  It was time to formulate some plans, buy some materials, put together some units.  I felt bone dry, creatively speaking.

Then I looked through my blog.  I CAN create fun activities.  I am a professional teacher and a veteran homeschool mama (does 5 years make you a veteran? I say yes).  I just forgot for awhile that school can and should be the best part of my day.  

Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration.  And sleep.  I'm going to bed now and when I wake up tomorrow I am going to whip me up a little unit fantasticalness.  

Medieval History and Life Science here we come!!!!  (Any ideas would be appreciated.)  :)
