Adventures

I know it looks like the same cup as before, but wait... this is actually a new cup! Come here... closer... LOOK! Wanna know what it says?

...

I read today's Starbuck's cup... just to see... here's what it read:



Today, we begin the adventure of Homeschooling for the second year. Last year was rife with challenges only because we had to unlearn a lot of the established ways of thinking. We made it across the finish line at the end of the year with big smiles on our faces. And for two weeks after that, we didn't have a clue what to do with ourselves. We have missed the adventures of following a simple question to multiple answers and then following those new questions to even more answers. And through it all, my son picked up a thirst for learning, as well. It's amazing how ready kids are to just soak up their day. I'm so thankful that I have the opportunity to watch it and to be here to guide them. The days are not without their challenges, but then again...

no adventure is.

There's a poll up (finally!) again. What was your favorite subject when you were a kid? What class could you just not get enough of? And in the comments section, please share a story about your favorite teacher or person who inspired you to open your mind and learn. It would be great to read as the teaching mom who could use a little inspiration ever now and then...

The Way I See It...

Do you ever read them? The backs of your Starbucks containers? Move the sleeve and you'll see it. A random quote from someone you may or may not have heard of. Sometimes it's a quote about life. Sometimes about love. Sometimes even about coffee.

And every now and then, there's one that just grabs you right where you're sitting and says, "Listen Up! I got somethin' to tell ya!" This was mine today. The day after the week after the months of self-doubt.



What did your Coffee tell you this week? Were they just random quotes or were any of them little bits of serendipity? Post a picture link or text in the comments section below.

Cheers!
