A Fun New Tool

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Project 365 – #262 I was blessed with the opportunity to review a Bamboo tablet which arrived today.  We’ve been having fun playing with it tonight.  It’s a fun tool, but it’s also a functional tool that we’ll be able to use for our homeschool. Today, we were just experimenting with some of the different features and programs that came with it.  We played a game, tested out the note taking tools, had fun doing a little drawing, and playing with some of the picture features.  There was a good bit of laughter and “this is so cool” going on…

Game Day Fun – Go Blue!

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #253 I grew up watching Michigan football games. Some of my fondest memories with my Dad growing up were going to the Big House to watch football games. Moving away from Michigan didn’t change my enjoyment of watching the Wolverines battle it out.  We didn’t always have the opportunity to watch MI football depending on where we were stationed, but we at least tried to keep tabs on how things were going.  Now, Munchkin is starting to enjoy watching some of the games with us. For this game day, we decided to wear some of our new…
