There's a picture of my son here because in our house, E is for Emmett! :) And elephant. That's what my other son yells everytime he sees an E.
Remember that the "Facts about..." pages and other extras are not included in the blog text, but they are included in the printable version. Some of the ideas in these plans came from
Brightly Beaming Resources. Each daily session of "School Time," as my son calls it will last about half an hour. Adjust the lessons for your child's age and level of education. Enjoy!

I'm a stay-at-home mom who loves to get outside (or at least out of the house)! My husband and I grew up in Orange County, CA, but we've moved all over the west coast in the last four years and we love seeing new places and trying new things. I spend my days taking care of two little boys and trying my best to teach them how to have happy and productive lives.
Mornings at my house probably start out a lot like yours: get the kids up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth... And I don't know about you, but I am always looking for ways to simplify my mornings. One of the best ways I've found is to make food ahead of time that is easy to take with you on the go. Or just trying to make sure you actually get to eat a little something in the midst of your morning craziness. I can't count the number of times I've hit 10am and I'm starving and starting to get a little hangry when I realize it's because I've been up for 3+ hours without food...
My husband, Covey, and I met on a blind date and were married on May 3, 2008 in the Salt Lake Temple. Since then, we've both graduated with our Bachelor's Degrees and my husband has gotten his MBA. I've been at home with our kids since the oldest was born and while I miss work some days, I know that for me, nothing really compares to being at home with them. Our kids are 2 and 4 and we are hoping to have more in the future. They bring so much joy into our lives. We enjoy being outside together and soaking up the sunshine.
