My daughter will be starting a new venture this school year. I have signed her up for an online school. She will have most courses online (obviously) as well as have some text books and work books. This is all provided tuition free and we will even be given a computer (for school use only) along with a subsidy for internet access. This is because the school is part of the public school system. It serves students in grades 3-8. We will have to show work done every day and my daughter will also have to take the state tests. She will have teachers and I will just be a facilitator. We’ll see how it goes. If it goes well, I would prefer her to continue this route (another online school offers high school) than have her attend a brick and mortar public school next year. It should be interesting and will definitely bring some changes with it this year.

I guess since I already have my Halloween Costume ready (see my Did You Know blog) then I can turn my attention to Christmas. After all, the stores are already setting out a few holiday items and as soon as the school supplies are gone, they will be in full swing of selling Christmas items!

Lots of folks like to send personalized christmas cards every year. I love getting the ones with family photos. I know many families who use pictures from their summer vacation, so now is actually a great time to think about getting your custom cards. Taking pictures during the year and then selecting your favorite will cut down on one hassle during the holiday season. By doing this now, you can not only get a step ahead, but alleviate some stress as the holidays get nearer!

That is our agenda for our last minute get away. We plan to sit on the beach and do nothing! Relax, play football, swim, read…sounds perfect! We will eat and the kids hope to jet ski. Otherwise, I am not sure if we’ll even visit any sights. We just want to do nothing!
