Gearing up for our first year!

It's been a long time since I've posted. That's because we've been enjoying a very busy summer vacation! As I finish up with curriculum purchases, and finish collecting all the last minute items on my list, I think of my blog! :)

Things are finally starting to come together. I have all but one piece of curriculum here, and that I just ordered this morning! I am still reorganizing the house. We had a large sale this past weekend. I was very happy to get all the excess out of the house, I feel like I can "concentrate" better that way. ;) Today I am going to look at and hopefully purchase a buffet. I am going to use it in my living room to hold our books and supplies. I am excited to have found something BEFORE school actually starts. The more organized I feel, the better for my sanity. I also have some last minute cleaning projects to get done. I want to shampoo my floors, and scrub and reseal the grout on my kitchen floors. Just knowing that my house is clean (even for a short time) makes me feel like we can start school and I may hold on to my sanity. Even if it's just for a good month! (smile)

I thought I would share a post on what this blog is actually going to become!

For the most part, I want to use this blog to keep my family and friends updated on what the girls and I are up to everyday! I think that sharing pictures and accomplishments will be a fun way to keep family updated and will allow them to feel connected with us. I'm sure I'll have a few opinions of my own to share along the way. (Hey, it is my blog! ;) But mostly it will be concerning our school and the many things we will be up to!

So stay tuned! Our first day is August 17th (less than 2 weeks!) I'm sure I'll have a lot to post!
