Monthly Recap | September 2020

Monthly Recap | September 2020

Well hey y’all, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted on this old blog of mine and I miss it so very much!

September has been such a full and busy month… I know I always say it but I truly can’t believe we’re into October already! We started back to our school rhythm, Shane went hunting and then sturgeon fishing in BC, and we’ve been tackling more house projects…

Back to Homeschool

We started up our more traditional homeschooling bookwork on September 14 and it’s been so grounding to be back in this rhythm! We’re using a new curriculum this year called Gather Round and we’re slowly working our way through the North American Birds unit. We’ve had such gorgeous weather and Shane was home for a few days during the week so we’re not moving too quickly thought it and I’m 1000% ok with that!

Favourite Thrift Find

I just barely snuck this one in this month but, yesterday, I scored a lovely grey bumbo (with a tray) on Facebook Marketplace for $45. I did have to drive to the city for it, and Em did cry most of the way, but I was willing to drive to get the colour I wanted and we made an outing of it. #coffee

Runner Up: A modern exercauser that I scored for only $40, also off of Facebook Marketplace, back at the beginning of the month. I think these two items were both great finds but I love how compact the bumbo is compared to the exercauser, though Emma seems to love both so that’s really what matters ;)

What We’ve Been Watching

Eating History (Amazon Prime) - This has got to be one of the most interesting shows on tv! Have you watched it yet?! Two guys try all sort of old food and drinks that they’ve found or have been sent in… they actually eat them!! 😱 What I love is that they share the history of the food, what was going on in the world at the time, and all the cool facts about it!! Neat to see and makes for a great homeschool lesson 😉

Until I blog again,

Alex
