Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way. -Noam Chomsky • motherhoodchronicled | #homeschoolcollective

How is it February? Seriously. One of these weeks I’ll get my act together but in the meantime at least we’ve been practicing violin, reading a little, and doing math. Sometimes that’s enough but I am looking forward to getting our mojo back.
Back to {home}school for the Lane kids!

We woke up to RV park faucet that comes into our camper being frozen so the big girls headed to the park showers and we got to work in our pjs. {because we don’t always do our morning lessons in jammies 🤥}

I’ve decided Today is a good day for a good day.

Happy second semester, friends!
Spinal cord and bones! Had fun making an egg carton spinal cord and learning about the different layers our bones have. 💀
Science journal: I had Bobo start a science journal yesterday, I think this may be easier for her to be creative and get a bit more excited about science related work because she loves to draw and this way she can put a lot of focus on art and labeling or jotting down ransom information... •

Homeschool is such a funny journey because there are so many moving parts and sometimes too much to choose from when it comes to curriculum.. I have already changed our science curriculum three times 🤦🏻♀️ the first one I chose was just awful, but when we switched over to TGATB Classifications science curriculum, it was a tiny bit over Bobo’s head (still an amazing purchase and I’ll definitely be using it later on in higher grades or even for when we learn about fungi, but won’t be our main book this year).. so I switched to Anthropods which actually goes better with our science topic right now anyways! •
•
🤦🏻♀️ tell me I’m not alone with the multiple curriculum switching 😭😭😭

Easing back into routine today! Can I make a confession? Part of me hates routine - but the other part needs it. Do you ever feel like that? Anyway - we took it slow with a good solid chunk of Lego time this morning - all four played together with no conflict so i was kind of 🙌🏻 I’ll be honest it was a two cups of coffee kind of morning 😫 The house is a disaster again, but all things in time 😅 We were loose with the tv the last few weeks with all the illness we had, but now we’re buckling back down and having a good detox 🙏🏻 .
.
Purposing to embrace and take rest in the everyday life learning that happens right under our noses, even if it’s not sitting at a desk with a book and even if it’s not the next section in our curriculum. Doing my best to follow that little guy’s lead and take deep dives into the stuff that sets the spark aflame in his soul. ❤️ How about you - Is today your first day back?? 😊.
.
.
Ps - I’m pretty sure it’s time to wash the chalkboard 🤣🤦🏼♀️

One of our current read alouds 🙂 It’s a sweet old fashioned book (1947) my kids are enjoying, all about a doll family. #proverbialhomemaker #raisingreaders #readaloud
We started our morning with a fun tour around El Cajón del Maipo. We had a beautiful day, hiking, exploring, and eating delicious Chilean food. These little ones are doing better than we thought, and taking naps every minute that they can. #travelwithkids is a real thing! 😅
.
.
. 🇪🇸: Empezamos nuestra mañana con un tour por los alrededores del #cajondelmaipo Tuvimos una hermosa caminata, explorando, y por supuesto comiendo las deliciosas maravillas que Chile tiene que ofrecer! Estos pequeñitos están portándose mejor de lo que pensamos y tomando siestas cada vez que pueden y donde sea! #viajar con niños es un dilema, pero hermoso! turistikchile .

We are still moving... you guys must be getting tired of hearing about our move 🙂 but that is still what is taking most of our time. I cant believe how much stuff I have accumulated, 2 band saws, 5 sanders, 3 drill presses and oh my goodness seconds!!! So much seconds!! Those are all moved. Now to unpack, set up, connect and start up. We never had to get all the permits before, so going from one place to another figuring out ”what” permits to get, apply and whew... We had to grow up 🙂
.
.
There are plenty of good things though. We will have much bigger space and I will be able to have everything in one place, so hopefully for holiday season, much better turnaround time. .
.
While the move was happening, I still tried to get as much orders out the door as well. This cute set for an owl lover shipped last week. I will add it to the shop. Stocking stuffer for an owl loving kiddo? Barn owls are my favorite!!! And the awesome illustrations add to the puzzle 🦉 Use it as a simple puzzle or match the puzzle with their names.
.
Know someone who love owls? This one is for them!
This is what my Saturday evening fun, looks like now-a-days! So PLEASE make it a little more interesting and a lot less lame by playing along!!! 😜 Drop your answer in the comment and repost for your friends😍

So I'm a little of Deborah, mixed with Jewel (but the crystals healing power comes from God) and a whole lotta Jessica 🤪

Hair wash day is also known as scream-bloody-murder day in our house. All three of my kids cannot LIVE if so much as a tiny droplet of water gets on their precious faces. Heck, if they know it's hair wash day they attempt to evade their bath at all cost. It's like rounding up a bunched of crazed cats. Sometimes I even wonder if I should preemptively call the police and let them know that if anyone calls them because blood-curdling-murder-death screams are emanating from our house, it's only because my kids are getting their hair washed ( and as gently , delicately and carefully as humanly possible at that!). My kids have fallen out of trees, face planted on rocks and minorly impaled themselves with sticks without so much as a whimper YET washing organic lavender tear-free shampoo out of their hair turns them into angry silverback gorillas and I just don't understand.
P.S. picture from yesterday when we got caught in a rain storm on our mushroom foraging walk and nobody complained about water getting onto their faces 🤷♀️ Apparently its fine if mother earth washes their hair!? Touché Mother Earth!

How ironic is this picture? My girls reading books in front of a television that is turned off.. 🙌🏻📚

Bobo was teaching Vavi to read one of her Elephant and Piggie books! 😭 (video in my stories)

Two of the best things my girls have ever received are the set of Elephant & Piggie books and the peg people I purchased.. I have never seen then so engulfed in play then when they use their new peg dolls and this set of books has Bobo reading ALL THE TIME.. and now Vavi too?! •
•

I still remember all those people telling me, why do you speak Spanish to your daughter? Why doesn’t she speak yet, she is 2!? Does she get confused with two languages? And blah, blah, blah... I remember listening to these questions over and over again... (sometimes they were really annoying). But I never gave up, and I never stopped teaching my daughter Spanish, and now to our son as well. I knew that some day it would be worth it, and now it is showing! This beautiful girl not only reads and speaks English, she also does it in Spanish very well! This trip we have let her make new friends, communicate to everyone around her, if she wants to buy something, she has to do it on her own. What I have loved most is to see her speak Spanish to those that aren’t from Chile and that have a different accent and she doesn’t has any trouble talking to them. As I said, we aren’t in our little nest learning this month, but we are outside using everything that we have been teaching our children and getting to know more about how this world works, and learning to be grateful for all the blessings that we have as a family, and to be more charitable to those who have less. This is sure a month for much learning for them and to never gave up on what you believe! ahomeoflearning .

We had a break in the rain so we went out to one of our nature spots this weekend. We just read a book about rivers and dams so the girls practiced making a dam out of some of the rain water. The other side to this story is someone got a little close and submerged both canvas shoes into a muddy stream within 5 minutes of arrival and had to walk back that way. That was a slightly less enchanting experience. 😬Book lessons + life lessons in nature!
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. -John Muir //
.
Over the weekend we visited Torrey Pines State Preserve in San Diego.
This family hike was unlike any we’ve ever done. The trail along the bluffs with the ocean spanning as far as the eye could see provided an breathtaking view we won’t soon forget.
.
We learned about the rarity of the Torrey Pine.
How, over time with weather and erosion, the bluffs we were walking on would turn into sand on the beach.
And, how the black sand we’ve been seeing on San Diego beaches is actually magnetite.
.
The visitor center at the top had a small hands on area for the kids (where we learned about the magnetite) which was a nice break after hiking from the bottom up and gave the kids some extra learning opportunities. (Hello homeschool science lesson!)
.
A few tips if you ever plan to visit:
•Get there early on weekends. The parking lots on top fill up quickly on pretty days. The trail heads all start on top or half way up so when parking at the bottom you’ll start off with a climb uphill to get to any trailheads. •bring lunch but anticipate only being able to eat it at the bottom on the beach or at the parking lot picnic tables. No food is allowed anywhere on the trails.
•bring binoculars...the park ranger said you can absolutely see whales. .
.
If we lived in this area this would definitely be somewhere we’d hike regularly, if for nothing else than the beautiful views from the trails.
.
What about you, Do you have a favorite hiking spot close to you where you can enjoy a nature day with your family?
