What I’m Reading
I have finished a few of the books on my list: Leigh Bortin’s The Core, Simplify Your Homeschool Day: Shorten Your Day, Sweeten Your Time
Right now, I am reading Charlotte Mason’s Original Homeschooling Series (oh wow, is this deep!), and rereading The Well-Trained Mind. Yes, I’m a classical homeschooler, and I am gearing up for a Practicum next week and the beginning of our CC year in August 🙂

Our Week
Last week, we headed down to New Braunfels, Texas, with Shane’s family for vacation. This week was spent trying to get back into a routine. I’m going to be honest and tell you that I still have laundry from vacation (but it IS sorted!), and a few bags still waiting to be unpacked. I didn’t get much accomplished.
I did, however, make it to the grocery store and tried out the Ibotta app for the first time. I know, I know. I should have been using it a long time ago, but I’m usually late to catch on to new things. I was pleasantly surprised (my expectations were not very high!), and I will share more about my shopping trip with the Ibotta app next week 🙂 I will say this much: if you are not using Ibotta, you are missing out!
Another thing I’ve managed to do this week is to strip all of my cloth diapers. That is a process that takes a bit of time, so I’m glad it is over!
We also had one lose a tooth, and we may have had a (small) breakthrough on baby’s eating. Maybe. 😉
Coming Up
I have several great things to share with you, including a homemade Febreze spray (I mentioned this a few weeks ago. I promise it’s coming!), more great baby items I’m loving, and our homeschool plans for this fall.
