Sometimes, We Just NEED a Reminder...

The end of a semester is always a stressful time, especially as the children have advanced in their academic progression... Multiple Science Labs to do, Finals, projects, and all by a deadline... For some reason, I believed that if we were 'home schooling' it wouldn't be quite as stressful, nope - it still is. Crunch time is crunch time!

So, rather than succumbing to the mounting tension of the moment, I decided we need a reminder. A reminder of what you might ask???

A reminder that:

The beach is 20 minutes away

That the day is beautiful at 85 degrees, in January, with Santa Ana winds a-blowing

That there is a reason to be motivated to accomplish and succeed
and, ok that we need to take a break, even for a short time to have FUN!




A reminder that I LOVE MY CHILDREN!!!
