My Monkey Counting

Charlotte my 3 year old monkey is almost ready to start doing some counting, and it is with this in mind that I did this next little pack.  { I've got the same format in my Humpty Dumpty and Polly Put the Kettle On packs } but you know me, always have to have them done in different cutey themes and clipart.  So anyway, what I did is take this portion of the pack and rework it for a Monkey theme.


Numbers 1 - 10.

Tracing and Missing numbers to 20.

Counting cards to 30.

Yeah, so if you're into Monkeys with your monkeys just click any picture to go and pick up the pack for $2.00.

What Motivates Us?

Food for thought:


Super interesting.

1.  Autonomy
2.  Mastery
3.  Purpose

Now imagine putting that into our homechools.  All we'd have to do after that is sit back and wait for the Einstein moments and capture them on our cameras.

* * * * *

Which reminds me about a book that I purchased last year:

The Self Propelled Advantage

{ Just click the picture to find out more. }

The Self-Propelled Advantage

You can check out her blog HERE.  I highly recommend a visit.

Now that I'm thinking about it even more: which I might add, sounds incredibly and very much like, but in a succinct kind of way, the three listed points above.  I highly recommend the book as a pick me up, thought provoking, awesome encouragement for any homeschool.  Additionally, Joanne also talks about the part that character has to play in all of it too.

{ The Week We Have Off School }

This week we had a week off school.  I still did the odd school planning.  The grade 2 lesson 5 spelling resources are now available.  Hoping to get the others finished before Monday.

* * * * * *

So today I thought I'd share a little conversation with you all by a daddy and a 3 year old.

Miss 3 at the back door:  "Let me in."

Daddy in the kitchen:  "Use your manners."

"Let me in."

"Use your manners."

"Let me in."

"Use your manners."

"Really?"

"Yes, use your manners."

"Please."

Well, I've just rifled through my camera to see what I took this week for sharing.

Pictures of Noah,


a half smile,


and a coloring page done by Hannah.


Phebe had a morning out at the dentist and today we'll be at the park with some of the other local homeschoolers.

We watched "The Great Gatsby" last night and now Chloe has gone off with the novel in hand for a read.

Anyway, I hope your week went well too.

Today I'll be joining up with:

Weekly Wrap-Up

I hope you will join us.

Thanks for visiting.

Non, je ne regrette rien

This morning I heard Hannah singing this particular song in the house.  Then I thought of you all here in blogland and decided to grab you a copy of the lryics and the song to sing along to as well.

Non, je ne regrette rien

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé !

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !

Balayées les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi !

Stamping Morning

This week we're relaxing with a week off school.

So I went out with a friend to a craft morning.

What do you do when you don't have a name tag?

Yep, you make one right there and then.


Then you mess around for a couple of hours until you only have this almost completed.

Wow, am I super un-organised and baby brained out.

Never the less, a lovely morning out.
