What I love about homeschooling

I love being with my girls plain and simple! I love hearing their thoughts and witnessing their "AHA!" moments and knowing I was a part of it.

Being able to control their exposure to inappropriate influences. Children need to be given the opportunity to stay children and not be pushed into an adult world long before they're ready. Click HERE to read more.

Watermelon Smoothie from The Smelly Llama


This morning we decided to make smoothies.


Squirrel was in charge of the watermelon.


Fluffy Puppy added the yogurt.


I added the vanilla and ice. It called for sugar but I decided not to put it in because we were using Trix yogurt which has more sugar than regular yogurt (it's all we had). In the end, the girls felt like it needed to be a little sweeter so I added some sugar to their cups. I thought it was plenty sweet though. Next time I would add a banana for more flavor and a natural sweetener.

Ready to fill up some empty bellies, or, in our case, spilled all over the table. :)
