Happy New Year!

 Welcome back! How has your holiday season been going? Our Christmas day felt rushed for some reason. But Christmas Adam and Christmas Eve sure did drag by. Anytime we end up opening gifts on Christmas Eve, it messes with my perception. Shucks! Any change in such a long-time routine would probably throw anyone for a loop. Look at the mess caused in 2020... Anyway...on to happier things!


Keeping it short this week... we just want to wish you a Happy New Year! May 2022 be better than 2020 and 2021!


2021 Wins

  • Ro discovered she enjoys Geometry
  • Ro is picking up guitar riffs and pounding away at them
  • Shi has been able to get the help she needed...finally
  • We celebrated our son and daughter-in-law buying their first home
  • My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage this year
  • I managed to complete a whole novel -- beginning to end -- during the month of November, which I hadn't ever done before
  • John got a new job which suits him much better
  • We all made some new, awesome friends
  • We survived another round of hurricane season
I think this year had its moments. There were struggles aplenty, but overall, we are blessed to be alive and kicking. I hope you are counting your blessings, too, as we near the end of 2021. I look forward to continuing our educational pursuits in 2022 and seeing where that leads Ro in the next leg of her life journey.

Welcoming April 2022 at Magniflorious Private Homeschool Academy

 Welcome back! I'm so happy to be able to report our little seedlings, well some of them, have survived and are now planted in a small garden patch outside. Turks Turban Squash looks like it might survive and thrive, but we may have to replant cucumbers, nasturtium flowers, and sunflowers. Hopefully, today's predicted rain will encourage them to perk up. And we also hope to deter whatever animal tried to dig up my hard work yesterday. Y'all! I should've stretched before trying to work in the garden. XD More Curriculum Changes We started the year working on Chemistry with PACE workbooks. Those didn't work so well for Ro's learning perception. So we switched her to a workbook (The World of Chemistry) which allowed her to read sections and answer questions pertaining to shorter sections. There were fewer problems per lesson for her to solve. This made it less overwhelming for her.  To sum up: If the curriculum you chose for your student isn't working, don't...

Well, Here We Go!

 Magniflorious Private Home School Academy blog has a new home. We'll give Blogger a go for a while. Hopefully, this host doesn't start creating ad posts at random and sharing them as blog posts on my blog. :/ I'm going to look for the positives and do my best to keep this blog going as long as I can. It's still in progress so I hope you'll bear with me while I keep adding elements.    via GIPHY  So What's New? Besides this blog's new home and a new book in the works for me, my husband is getting ready to start a new job. Transitions are always difficult, so please keep us in your prayers.  So far, we haven't had even one meeting of our mother/daughter club this year. Between people fighting yuckies and unexpected errands, it's been difficult for us to get together but we do keep trying.  A Breath of Hope  And now for a breath of hope from the Bible Scriptures taken from The Scriptures 2009 - photo is linked to their website ***** As always, we do n...

Wow! Senior Year Has Been and Gone

 For months, apparently, I forgot I posted here. To be fair, though, senior year was tough for our youngest in some ways which we hadn't really had to deal with while teaching the other two. Add to that my increasingly scattered mind, too many changes to keep track of, and going back to work at the sewing shop, and there was no way I was going to remember to post here. But we did manage to work through senior year successfully and our young woman is learning how to make her way in the adult realm.  We were supposed to go get her senior pictures in a little town just southwest of us, but we were never able to do it. I hate that life kept getting in the way.  She also requested a graduation tassel, and that hasn't happened yet, but I'm taking care of that today. She doesn't really ask for much.  I also still need to get her final report card, transcript and diploma printed out. Seriously, y'all, this year was a doozy if ever there was one!  We both so relieved to ...
