Weekly Wrap-Up/Homeschool Mother’s Journal

*Originally posted on our homeschool blog, Benoit Academy

This week went by too fast! That’s because I was trying to plan out a birthday party for Kid Baker! Yes, my baby girl is 7 now. I am still in denial from last year when she turned 6. I went all year still saying that she was 5.

We had a Doctor Who themed party for her. I wasn’t able to go all out like I wanted but we did have Dalek cupcakes & a *very* quick, last-minute-planned T.A.R.D.I.S cake. Apparently, I didn’t think that 24 cupcakes were enough so I threw another box of cake mix in the oven & decorated it with leftover frosting. The cake wasn’t even touched so we are saving that for tomorrow when it’s her “real” birthday. Here’s Kid Baker with her new scooter from Grandma.

My father-in-law bought us a Nuwave Oven! It is so cool! We cooked chicken with potatoes & carrots in it last night & it was soooo delicious! I think we will be using this a lot!

• The week didn’t start out all that great though. I had a lot of things on my mind & heart. You can read all about that here

• I wrote up my review of Keyboard Classroom. You can read about that here.

• This is the last week of the Victorian Unit for J12. She will present her presentation to me by Friday. I cannot wait to see what she has come up with! That child is so creative. She wants to start on the Holocaust next so I need to start getting that ready.

Hope you had a great week!
