Day 70: Sleepover!
Sunday was a very exciting day for the kids. After we’d made initial contact with Grandma and Pop Pop a little over a week ago, discussions began about the possibility of a sleepover. Like many people out there, Erin and I have been struggling with how to handle...
Day 69: Fish and Dips
Another week has gone by, and it was once again time for the Saturday supply run. This week I had a few more stops than usual, since we needed some odds and ends from Target, I managed to drop my phone while running an needed a new screen protector, and we have a dog...
Day 67: School’s Out for Summer
Thursday was Amelia's last day of school. She had been excited for this day, and we tried to make it as special as we could for her. We let her do class in her pajamas, which I figure is great preparation for going to college someday. Her homework all done, all that...

Saturday began as my Saturdays generally do: making a list and going out for the weekly supply run. Some weeks are more challenging than others, but I’d have to say that this week’s went very smoothly. The lines were short, and I got everything I needed...
Day 61: Stars and Pizza
On Friday, Amelia’s burst of homework diligence the day before paid off in that she didn’t have very much left to do for the week. She mainly had to do some reading, which is mostly delivered through an online learning service that awards stars for...
Day 60: Free Addressing
Here at the Schneider Haus, which, along with a residence, has also become a working office and the site of Amelia E. Schneider Elementary School, we have moved to an open office/free addressing system. Amelia has her "classroom" set up in her bedroom, but sometimes...
Guest Blogger Amelia Schneider: “Why I Want a Pool”
Editor’s Note: Amelia had an assignment to write an opinion piece about whether she would rather have a pool or trampoline at her house. She was struggling to find the motivation to do it (who can blame her...talk about a Sophie's choice), so I told her that I...
