A few days ago, we made the decision to send Mackenzie back to school. We started our homeschool journey 706 days ago … that’s close to two years of learning together from home … that’s living and working closely with my girl as she moves from seven, to eight, to nine … it’s a long… Continue reading Another Chapter Closed

I'm Leanne 😀 I support K-9 learn-from-home families from the comfort of my basement office. We are small town Saskatchewan people. My husband is a Millwright/Heavy-Duty Mechanic turned grain farmer. We have three daughters ... Mackenzie (9), Madilyn (7), and Cambri (3).
I am passionate about learning, self-improvement, change, growth, development, and the like! I am also committed to a life well lived!
The Leaves Are Falling
This is one of Madilyn's recent creations. I believe they did a similar project at school. She prepared the background one day, then added her silhouette trees and the colourful leaves the next day!
Madilyn’s Dragasaurus
This is Madilyn's dragasaur. The pink clouds at the top are made out of cotton candy. This dragasaurus breathes out blue cotton candy. His back is lined with a long row of colouful lollipops because he is a candy dragasaurus. He has a pink gumball eye and pink gumball claws. Madilyn's Dragasaurus

Fox Dot Art
This project was an Australian Aboriginal Dot Art project. We've definitely dabbled with this type of art before, but this little fox is Mackenzie's most recent dot art creation.

Mama Bear & Her Baby
In Science, Mackenzie was learning a little bit more about the black bear. Of course, we had to tie in some art to her learning. So we created this bear footprint art piece. For the bears, we made and used cardstock stencils. She still has evidence of the chalk pastels she used on her face… Continue reading Mama Bear & Her Baby
A Little Gift
Recently, I was given a little gift … not the material-type that you might be imagining (like the four-slice toaster I hope to get for my birthday … kidding, but not kidding :), but a gift nonetheless … It is NOT my job to make my children happy. 10 little words spoken over the phone… Continue reading A Little Gift
Saskatchewan Moose
A lot of our most recent art projects have an animal theme. We've recently learned the value of creating and using stencils in our art work. For this creation, we used a moose stencil. You can find full instructions here: http://www.thatartistwoman.org/2015/08/stencilling-and-stencil-craft-by.html Mackenzie's Moose Mrs. Hintz's Moose Be sure to post pictures of your creations if… Continue reading Saskatchewan Moose
I’m Not Happy
At the beginning of September, I signed up for a Focusing on Fall challenge group … basically, it forced me to set some goals for September and “beyond.” So I did what I was supposed to do … jotting down some goals for the remainder of 2020, as well as specific tasks to complete each… Continue reading I’m Not Happy
