My Snapshots

What have we been up to this past month? Take a look and see:

The new youth choir at church sang at the Christmas concert -- she loves singing in the choir so much!

I caption this "like a kid on Christmas morning," because doesn't that face just say it all?

Enjoying her food during our wedding anniversary dinner. (Note the paint all over her arm, which shows that before this, she'd been enjoying all her new Xmas craft kits, too!)

This is how we wild and crazy Healy's do New Year's Eve (& we were all in bed reading by 9pm!) Happy New Year to all of you!

And that pretty much wrapped up our month! I wonder what wonderful memories next month will bring?

What have we been up to this past month? Take a look and see:

It's taken us a while, but we finally discovered this show and have been obsessed for weeks and binge-watched all the episodes. We've also been ditching the breadmaker to bake our bread the old-fashioned way, too.

It's always fun to pack shoeboxes for this ministry and I think we probably enjoy the process just as much as the child it blesses!

It was turkey everything at our favorite nature preserve's homeschool day this month and the kids even got to make their own turkey callers.

Speaking of turkey, I spent forever cooking up this feast (with Gv's help - she made the desserts, which I only now realize I didn't get a photo of) after which we promptly passed out during our annual viewing of this classic.

I don't manage to do it every month, but did you know that homeschoolers can participate in this program, too? It's great (FREE!) fun for the kiddos every month (& me, too, because my sweet gal always shares!)

The Wonder of Creation by Louie Giglio

As your children dive into this awe-inspiring devotional, they'll be amazed at how wonderful God's creation truly is!

Why Some Animals Eat Their Young by Dallas Louis

A hilarious new book that extols the highs & lows of parenting!

I received a free copy of this product in exchange for writing a review. All opinions are my own.

If you're a mom, then you've surely had one of those days, which is why the title of this book alone will probably give you quite the chuckle:

What have we been up to this past month? Take a look and see:

A science unit got Gv all excited about chemistry, so she chose "Kitchen Chemistry" as one of her 4-H project books for the year. This pH investigation using purple cabbage was SO fun!

We continue to slowly add back in pre-Covid activities and the hike to the Dali museum for its homeschool day was so worth it!

We were probably most excited for the return of one of our favorite activities - the Pops in the Park concert! The weather couldn't have been better and it was so nice to be back!

After staying home last year, it was great to head out for trick-or-treating again this year! Gv likes to come up with her own costumes and this one was inspired by her Saturday-morning-cartoon-time-with-Dad.

My Snapshots

What have we been up to these past two months? Take a look and see:

The beginning of the school year is always a crazed time for us, but this year seemed especially so, between G still having to deal with Covid in the classroom and me and Gv attempting to venture outside the house again to re-start a few of our regular activities.

Traditional 1st-Day-of-School Photo

I came across this Polaroid of Gv with the cousin's hamster from the summer and it's wild how grown-up she looks...

We were so excited for some of our regular homeschool activities in the area to start back up again. We've got several parks, preserves, and museums in the area that hold monthly homeschool program days. The Ringling Museum is one of our favorites:

We were also excited to participate in the Smithsonian Museum Day again this year. We chose a new museum that's focused on glass and we declared it easily the best museum in the state!

Making her own art

Our area orchestra also started back to in-person performances and we got to attend a pre-opening night concert that was fabulous!

And that pretty much wrapped up our adventures over the past two months! I wonder what wonderful memories next month will bring?
