Art for Our Lady {Marian ATC Swap}
Sunday Coastal Road Trip
Early Sunday morning, following a late night at Vegas in the Valley (the annual Hadley Hope Fundraiser) with my husband, four of the children and I headed to the coast to surprise their friends with one last visit before they started their long drive back home.
After a busy few weeks, I had planned to spend the weekend at home resting… Despite lack of sleep and the pouring rain on the windy road heading over, it ended up being such a beautiful and refreshing day! It was so nice to spend time having fun with just these “middle children” of mine. I posted quite a few pictures on Instagram during our little road trip, but I have more to share here on the blog. You all need to come visit. It’s so gorgeous here!
7QT: Meeting my godson, spending time with friends, orthodontia updates, and other craziness. . .
It was so nice to finally meet my newest godson – and spend time with his mama and siblings this week! Isn’t he just adorable?!? Snuggles and Rose kept asking if we can “please have a baby just like this!” Rose would add that she’d prefer “a girl baby like that!” ❤ Bud loved the “BABY!” too. It’s so hard to believe that my “baby” will be turning three this year…
Speaking of Braces, Ranger and Chiquita had braces put on their teeth a couple weeks ago, on April 29th! (This is just phase one of two phases for Chiquita.) I never would have thought we’d find a way to put the first two through braces, let alone four children in less than two years time, but it has all worked out. We signed up for dental insurance the year before last and I was so excited to find out at the consultation for these two that our benefits had increased by an extra $1,000 per child! (We still owed $1000 for Captain’s braces, so that brought his balance down to $0!!) Between the insurance benefits, family discount, and the pre-tax funds we have been putting into a Medical Flexible Spending Account to go right to the orthodontist each year, we haven’t had to come up with any extra monthly payments. Such a blessing!
I am a little nervous about how that front tooth of his is going to hold up through the movement… Praying it stays together!

| Mashed Potatoes for the two suffering children on Day 2 of Braces… |
Last Friday night my friend Juliana came for a short overnight visit with her three boys! Many of the best memories from my teenage years include her, MI camps, and my frequent trips to the coast to visit. She lives a few hours away and we don’t see her very often. It was so nice to stay up late visiting, and to see our children have so much fun together!
All About Reading or Primary Arts of Language?
I have lost track of how many times I have been asked this past year whether I would recommend All About Reading (from All About Learning) or Primary Arts of Language (from IEW). It’s a tough question to answer… I think they are both excellent and solid programs. I am currently using Primary Arts of Language (Reading and Writing) with my 1st grader, along with All About Spelling, and we have been supplementing with some of the materials (the readers) from All About Reading.
I don’t mind sharing what we are using, or what has worked for us in the past, but I have never liked giving recommendations to others. Every family is different, and every child within a family is different, and what works for me and my child (in our particular situation and season) might not work for you or your child.
I have been blessed to have some Catholic friends tutor my children this past year. Kathleen comes on Thursdays and Trina had been coming on Tuesdays, up until this month. They have been helping teach Math and Language Arts and it has been such an incredible blessing as I try to keep up with home educating five children with two toddlers. They are both home-educating moms and are familiar with the programs I am currently using with my children. Kathleen has always used IEW’s Teaching Writing with Structure and Style at home with her children, and Trina is currently using Primary Arts of Language with her 1st grade son.
Over the past couple months Trina and I have been discussing the pros and cons of All About Reading and Primary Arts of Language as I try to decide which of the two programs I will eventually use with Rose, my next kindergartner. I recently loaned Trina my All About Reading materials and she made a list of her thoughts on the pros and cons of each program. Instead of sharing our thoughts as a reply in the comment box of Our School Year in Review I decided to compile it all into a new post along with some pictures. Keep in mind that these are just our personal opinions of these programs. Hopefully the list will help you decide if either of these programs is a good choice for you and your child!
Note: This post contains affiliate links to All About Learning and Amazon. IEW does not currently offer an affiliate program. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated in any way for this post.
Pros:
- If you are using or have used All About Spelling, it is very similar.
- Tried and True Concepts
- Orton-Gillingham Based
- Colorful Folder Games
- Pre-Printed Word Cards
- Pretty Simple and Easy-to-Use Program
- Wonderful Readers!!
Cons:
- If you are using All About Spelling, it might be ‘overkill’ (redundant)
- Games aren’t very creative, they are just more repetition of ‘key card’ memorization.
- Only has 9 (or so) folder games
- Doesn’t teach the alphabet sounds in a creative way. For those children who are having trouble learning the sounds of the alphabet… It’s all just repetition and memorization. (Trina says this wouldn’t have worked with her son.)

| Reading Cobweb the Cat – All About Reading Level 1 |
Primary Arts of Language (PAL) Reading and Writing:
from Institute of Excellence in Writing (IEW)
 |
|
My crate of Primary Arts of Language: Reading File Folder Games
|
Pros:
- For children who are struggling learning the sounds of the alphabet, it teaches them in a very visual way with word association. For example: “C” is the happy letter! Start at the top and circle around, but don’t close it up! This is the happy cookie because somebody took a big bite! /c/, /c/, cookie. – PAL: Reading
- There are 35 (or so) folder games, with a nice variety. Even numbers!
- The games are creative and hands-on, reinforcing all the phonetic rules they are learning.
- No writing is involved with the PAL: Reading program, (perfect for boys)!
- Has the option of adding PAL: Writing if you desire writing to be a part of the program.
- PAL is a complete Language Arts program ‘in a box’ – includes phonics, writing, reading, narration, journaling, memorization, and even adds grammar.
- Adding All About Spelling when it is recommended works perfectly with the program and also adds some variety. The PAL: Writing Program comes complete with the first level of All About Spelling.
- Love the ‘Phonetic Farm‘ – It gives the child a great visual of letter blends/rules. It’s still repetitive, but in a creative and colorful way.
Cons:
- Requires more preparation than All About Reading.
- Folder games are not in color. We had to color the games ourselves.
- The lessons are a little more involved – there are about 7-8 things you need to do during each lesson.
- You have to make the word cards yourself.
- This program requires LOTS of printing. Get ready to use some paper and ink!
- Lame readers. (Trina’s opinion. They need to be printed, double-sided, and assembled.) Wish they’d have real ones like All About Reading. (Note: I think these could be cute if printed correctly, assembled, and colored by the child… but mine are still untouched in a file in my crate and we’ve been using the All About Reading Readers, along with some of our other faith readers, instead.)
- If you do the writing program, you have to insert the writing pages in with the reading pages yourself. You want to keep with the same lesson in each program.
Here are a few examples of the File Folder Games included in the PAL: Reading program:
 |
| Feeding Mugs |
 |
| Color Palette Matching Game |
 |
| Magic-e Use the Magic-e wand to add a silent e to the words on the board. Have fun with this game. Say something like, “The Magic-e can turn man into (ding!) mane!” Repeat for each word. |
 |
| Action Charades Cut out the action word cards (verbs) as they are presented in the reading lessons. As you add more cards, you may remove the duplicates. To play, lay the cards face down on the board. Take turns picking up a card, reading it, and acting it out. |
 |
| Match-It Match-It is Snuggles’ favorite game at the moment. Use this game board with any of (the 19 sets) Match-It cards. To play, lay one set of cards face down on the board. Take turns turning over two cards. Read the words or identify the picture. If they match, keep the set. If they do not, turn them back over, and the next person takes his turn. You can also play by taking turns revealing a single card and leaving it face up. If your card matches one already face up on the board, you get to take both. Score by adding up the numbers in the boxes under the cards. |
- Read Monster Box Cards (the Monster Word Box replaced Mugs once all the phonograms had been memorized)
- Pick a few of the easier words in Monster Box to be spelled.
- Visit a few places on the Phonetic Farm.
- Games – #8 Match-It using card set 9; #12 Action Charades; #30 Long-o Silo Words
- All Lesson Work Pages
- Poem (review all previously memorized poems, work on current poem memorization)
- Journal Entry (optional)
Our School Year in Review
I knew they could pass. I’m so proud of all their hard work this year!
I am so thankful that we switched back to Saxon Math following last year’s state tests. It is a demanding program, but WOW has it been effective for our children. Surprisingly we are all really enjoying Saxon this time, and the extra help from tutors on most Tuesday and Thursday afternoons this year has been such a blessing.
Captain and Ranger just completed Saxon Math 7/6, Twinkle Toes completed Saxon Math 5/4, Chiquita only has 10 more lessons left of Saxon Math Intermediate 3, and Snuggles is down to just 4 more lessons of Saxon 1!
 |
| I love it when I find the older boys explaining “Math Concepts” to their little brother! |
My plan for the summer is to have the children continue Math lessons 2-3 days per week, except for the weeks we will be attending summer camps, with the help of the Teacher CDs, to give us a jump start for this upcoming school year and allow some breaks throughout the year when needed.
We are still loving the Institute for Excellence in Writing courses. This year the oldest three moved on from the Student Writing Intensive, Level A to the Student Writing Intensive Continuation Course: A. It has options for completing the course in one or two years and we have opted for the two year plan. Our third grader has been working through Student Writing Intensive, Level A and she should complete it by summer or early fall.
At the beginning of last year I thought I would incorporate some of the Themed Writing Courses as well, but the children just love the DVD classes given by Mr. Pudewa, and I love that it is easy to modify the writing assignments based on what they are studying. For now my plan is to just stick with the Continuation Courses, moving on to the next level once this level has been completed.
Speaking of IEW, another favorite has been Primary Arts of Language: Writing and Reading. Earlier this year I was still not sure I wanted to stick with this program and considered switching to All About Reading (right now we are supplementing with just the readers) but now, at the end of 1st grade, Snuggles is pulling books off the bookshelves and reading independently after just one year of using this program an average of three hours per week. It has been very effective!
He has completed about 40 of the 80 reading lessons and has moved on to Part II in writing. He will continue PAL next year and should complete the program by the end of second grade.
I love All About Spelling just as much as ever and am currently using it with my first grader, as suggested in PAL. (I actually wish I had the time to continue All About Spelling with a couple of the older children, but Phonetic Zoo has been a great alternative.)
We’ve been supplementing with lots of great literature, both independently and during our afternoon family read-alouds.
Latin is probably my least favorite, but the children don’t seem to mind and have been completing it without any complaints. The older three are almost finished with Latina Christiana 1 (next year they will most likely move on to First Form) and Chiquita has been studying Prima Latina.
This year we have spent the majority of our formal school time focusing on Math and Language Arts, which hasn’t left that much time for extra History and Geography projects. We have been reading through some of the suggested books listed in Connecting with History Volume 1: A Guide to Salvation History, completed the various Maps, Charts, and Graphs workbooks, and studied a few more of the States in our State-by-State Study, but that is about it for this year.
The children have mentioned that they miss creating the coordinating Lap Books like we’ve done in the past, but we just haven’t had the extra time this year. I also only got through the first couple weeks of Classically Catholic Memory: Alpha but I haven’t given up on it completely yet – just for this year!
 |
| Building the Parthenon |
The older boys completed Concepts and Challenges in Science Book 1 (the sections on Physics and Earth Science) and rather than have them move on to the first half of Concepts and Challenges in Science Book 2 I decided to have them join the younger children and we are all studying Chemistry together.
Captain and Ranger are using Focus on Middle School Chemistry with Laboratory Workbook and Teacher’s Manual.
Originally I thought we would complete two books this year – Focus on Elementary Chemistry followed by Focus on Elementary Biology – but we’ll be sticking with just Chemistry this year and moving on to a second topic next year.
With all our other studies and activities one course was all I could manage this school year and still be able to leave plenty of time for outdoor play, exploration, and nature sketching!
So far we have completed four of our six units from Meet the Masters Track A. (You can scroll through all our completed lessons here.) This program has been such a hit with all the children and we are looking forward to completing our final two units for this school year on Pablo Picaso and Claude Monet. I’m sure we will be continuing this program next year, especially since we already have the rest of the tracks (for three more years) and all the art supplies!
I don’t like to think our beautiful Catholic Faith as a “school subject” to be checked off this list, but I can’t leave it out either. My husband continues to teach our children on Sunday afternoons using various levels of the Baltimore Catechism. We supplement with lots of great books and do our best to incorporate the Catholic faith in our home – the “Domestic Church.”
We had hoped to be given permission to take our older children to one of Sean’s brother’s parishes this summer to receive the sacrament of Confirmation in the Extraordinary Form, but that request was denied. At this point they will need to go through the local parish program once they are in high school… For now we will continue praying, preparing them at home, and preparing Snuggles for his First Holy Communion next year!
I think that pretty much sums up our school year so far. I have once again fallen way behind in answering emails, so if you have any questions for me please leave them in the comment box below and I will do my best to respond. I hope you all have a great week! Summer is almost here!! 🙂
Mother’s Day
Sacred Heart Books and Gifts {Sponsored Giveaway}
Sacred Heart Books and Gifts has always been one of my favorite places for finding great prices on excellent books and curriculum! I’m so happy to have them as one of my sponsors here at Shower of Roses and this week they are offering to send a copy of The Healing of Families: How to Pray Effectively for Those Stubborn Personal and Familial Problems by Father Yozefu – B. Ssemakula.
I haven’t read this book yet, but my mom has been talking about it for months and has given multiple copies to friends. According to Linda from Sacred Heart Books and Gifts, “This book is changing families’ lives including my own.”
Here is the description of the book:
Your family is beset with problems. That is to say, it is a normal family. Since you are a believer in God you have most certainly prayed to God about many of these problems. And maybe you have had the joy of answered prayer for some, some respite for others, but there are still those problems that don’t seem to go anywhere! Your image of God is seriously shaken because you don’t understand why He doesn’t seem to hear you on these particular issues. Your voice feels like a cry in the desert.
This serious issue is addressed in a truly fresh and inspired book, “The Healing of Families”, by renowned author Father Yozefu-B. Ssemakula, who hails from Uganda, and is now ministering in the U.S. based in the Pensacola-Tallahassee diocese. His in-depth book is filled with powerful prayers to cleanse and heal the family.
Fr. Ssemakula presents a simple, effective, and powerful prayer method for freeing you and your family from problems you have prayed about for a long time without results, including health issues. Through Father’s inspired book and seminar you will learn to distinguish between the true Cross of Christ that we have to carry for our salvation, Mt 16:24 (necessary suffering), and the false Cross, which is a simple captivity and oppression of God’s children, LK 4:18 (unnecessary suffering). God never wills evil and pain for us at any point in our lives. Evil and pain are interruptions of God’s plan for our lives Jer 29:11, even if good can be extracted from them. 1 John 4:8 tells us: “God is love.” John 10:10 states: “I came that they might have life and have in abundantly.” God’s will is always good. When things turn out bad for us, it can never be the will of God.
In Baptism, God pre-equipped us with all the tools we need to effectively deal with the majority of our problems. In reading Father’s book or attending a Healing of Families seminar you will understand how to use the tools of your Baptism to end recurrent problems in your lives.
Outside My Window…
I’ve tried to start a “Daybook” post each day this week and I just can’t seem to get past the first writing prompt… There is so much going on “outside my window…” at the moment!
After my husband’s decision to turn down the job offer and to stay here for now, we started talking about moving forward with a couple more of the home improvement projects that have made their way to the top of our “to-do” list. It has been 14 years this May since we purchased our home and up until now almost all of our efforts have gone towards remodeling and expanding the original house. We have put off repairs to our small detached “garage” for the past 10 years (it needs a new roof, gutters, windows, and now it even needs a new door – the current door will still open if Sean, I, and our two oldest boys all work together to lift it…) and we can’t put the repairs off much longer.
Originally we considered tearing it down and starting over, but after considering all the options we decided to just convert the original garage into storage space (it could be the perfect place for all those school supplies that need new homes after giving the old school room to the little boys) and then add on a big new garage coming off the left side. The first step was finding a licensed/insured contractor who was willing to cut down the two huge pine trees right next to the garage and remove the stumps/roots, without damaging the building or foundation. . . Two of the pine trees were over 100 feet tall!
After I spent an afternoon down at the county planning office making sure this would all be possible with zoning, my Dad helped us find a excavator/logger for the job. We wanted to wait until after Easter before we started tearing up the yard and on Monday afternoon all the heavy equipment started to arrive!
Bright and early Tuesday morning the tractors were busy digging a pit for burning the brush and stumps. Unfortunately it wasn’t a burn day so the actual fire was going to have to wait until later. . . (Thankfully yesterday was a burn day!)
Our school day pretty much revolved around tractors, tree falling, and exacvation work! Everyone was so excited to watch the trees fall.
We didn’t have very many options on directions the trees could safely fall. Thankfully the strategically placed logs from one of the “smaller” pine trees protected the driveway from getting damaged. Then it was time to take down some of the smaller trees and clean up the mess!
It is sad that so many of the mills have closed and it would have actually cost us money to send these beautiful logs to the mill… We are now pretty much set for life with pine for camping and other outdoor fires, as well as some madrone and oak for burning in our wood stove next winter.
I do have some more pictures from yesterday and today, but this is all I have time for at the moment… In addition to the construction work, today the girls are taking their required state math tests, the boys are taking their reading tests, and tomorrow the boys have their math tests. (Please say a little prayer for them!) Following that we have overnight company tomorrow, a baby shower on Saturday, the Latin Mass and potluck on Sunday, and more guests all next week! It’s going to be staying pretty busy around here, but hopefully I’ll find time for a few breaks and start catching up on some blogging.
In the meantime, here are a couple videos of the trees falling:
