I’ve shared several times about our homeschool book club. It is my older children’s favorite homeschool activity. My son and daughter kept asking me when we are starting book club. Finally this week we got together at the park, and while the kids played, the mothers planned out our monthly book club projects. Here is…
(Not) High-Tech List Making
I love high-tech gadgets. If I had more disposable income I’m sure I’d have more gadgets. (Can you say i-phone?) My laptop is my fairly constant companion these days, and I really don’t know how I managed without it. I love making color-coded chore charts and schedules on the computer. I’ve converted to a mostly…
To Do Tuesday (9-15-09)
It looks like another week has passed. I did fairly well on last week’s list. I’m carrying over a couple of items to this week’s list. Write review of Studypod. Iron ALL the clothes waiting in the ironing line! Organize computer files. Set up shared folders for network. Mount wall lights in kids’ rooms. Do…

First Language Lessons
Yesterday I began First Language Lessons with my 2nd grade son. This is my all-time favorite English resource. Since I love it so much and it was on my mind, I decided to make it the topic of my latest review on The Curriculum Choice. I’m not posting the review here, so you’ll have to…
Salad snipping tip
Salads have never been a part of our typical menu. One of the reasons is that the ingredients are expensive. Another reason is I’m lazy about making salads. (And then those expensive vegetables go bad in the refrigerator. That makes the salad even more expensive!) But, I know that they are very good for us.…
To Do Tuesday (9-8-09)
It looks like I’ve missed a week (or maybe 2) for To-Do Tuesday. I have found it really helpful making a list for everyone to see. I makes me feel more accountable to actually complete the items on my list! So, here’s this week’s list. Read Sue Patrick’s Workbox System and decide how to implement.…
Fearless by Max Lucado
Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear By Max Lucado / Thomas Nelson Can you imagine your life without fear? Jesus repeatedly used the words "Fear not." In fact, it was his most common command. Have we taken it to heart? Have we listened to Him? In his latest book, Max Lucado divides our fears into…
Math Practice
I’m planning on having my son work one addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problem daily just to to make sure that he remembers the methods. We’ve fought and fought over him doing most of his math in his head. It might not be so much of a problem if he got all the problems correct.…
