Happy Monday everyone!  God has provided us with the most amazing sunsets lately!  Absolutely gorgeous!

It’s been a crazy season, but we are settling into some summer cleaning and I’m starting to prep for our next school year.  I think I’ll have to send the kids to Grandma’s for a day so I can get everything figured out.  We had a great Father’s Day with my husband.  He was working but was able to swing in for a bit and we enjoyed some of his favorite foods.  Here’s our menu for the week –

Monday: Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes

Tuesday: Burgers

Wednesday: Lentil Soup

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Beef Stew

Saturday: Poppyseed Chicken

Sunday: Dinner with cousins

Amazon is having a BIG STYLE SALE with all your favorite brands – Skechers, Ray-Ban, Levi’s and LOTS MORE! Prices are up to 80% off, so this is a great time to do some back to school shopping!  Don’t miss this one!  Head on over to browse through the deals!

Time to pre-order Trolls World Tour.  We haven’t seen this yet but my niece and nephews love it!  You can currently pre-order the digital download for $19.99.  You’ll have access starting 6/23.  Or you can purchase the DVD or Blu-ray and receive it to watch after July 7th.

It’s time to switch out your photos for something new! Through 6/21, you can get  1 FREE 8×10 Photo Print from Walgreens with code MYFREE8X10 and also score same day pickup.

I love getting free photo prints!

You can also score 70% off Canvas prints and floating frames with code FORDAD70 at checkout!

We recently learned about a program called HOMER and my son has taken to it immediately!  Already in his first few minutes, he’s tracing the letter A and matching lower and uppercase letters.  This program is geared toward children ages 2-8 and as a homeschool mom, I’m very pleased with how it works!

This is his face after the app showed him how to write a letter T and he did it correctly.  The app cheered for him and he thought that was cool!

HOMER is a highly personalized subscription based early reading app. Research actually has shown that just 15 minutes a day can improve a child’s early reading score by 74%!  Upon creating an account, it asked me to select my son’s likes so that it can make the program just for him!  Plus I can check and see how he’s progressing when I login.

HOMER is offering a FREE 30 day trial subscription to see if it is a fit for your family, but it sure is for my little guy!

Plushible.com is offering face masks for children and adults for only $2.50 SHIPPED each (normally $5) when you use code 250MASK at checkout!    These masks have such fun prints including unicorns!  They are dual layer and breathable and geared toward kids ages 7 and up.  Machine washable, too!

Amazon is currently offering a deal on books!  There’s a ton offered, including some homeschool work books!  Head on over to see what is included in the Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal.  There are over 300 included items!

 

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  The kids and I spent last week up in the mountains and it was a great time of fun, friends, horses, swimming, and more.  The week ahead, I plan to clean, start planning for the next school year, and get my Bible reading caught up.  I’ve been slacking!

Here’s our meal plan for the week!

Monday: Dinner with cousins

Tuesday: Chicken Pot Pie

Wednesday: Chicken Fajitas

Thursday: Pizza

Friday: Eggs, biscuits, grits

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Ribs, baked potatoes
