I can't wait to buy my kids' homeschool curriculum for each coming year. It's like being a kid again and reliving Christmas! 

Last year, I saved our money and spent the summer purchasing materials for our Vikings and Middle Ages studies. I literally got giddy anticipating surprising my husband with projects to do with the kids. He loved reading about Genghis Khan to them, or building a Viking ship. 

This summer I will be prepping for family field trips, literature, games, puzzles, crafts and more for a whole year of American history through 1850. When the materials arrive and we see our kids' eyes light up with the excitement of learning, nothing beats it. 

Making these plans and seeing them come to fruition in such a rewarding way is perhaps only beat by the delivery day of each of our babies, particularly after months and months of morning sickness.
