I have a confession to make. I’m addicted to office and school supplies. OK, so maybe that wasn’t such a dramatic revelation. It seems that many homeschoolers have this affliction. But I have an additional problem. I tend to horde them. I don’t know if it’s my perfectionist nature that causes me to want to…
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star – Preschool Storybook Piano App
My husband gave me a very nice gift for Mother’s Day and our anniversary — an iPod Touch! I had never been that interested in iPods before, because I’m not that big on listening to music. I’m also not a fan of walking around with things in my ears. But that was before the Touch.…

Super Star Speech R & L
My daughter (10 years old) cannot say her r’s correctly. I first became concerned when she wasn’t able to pronounce them correctly at 5 years old, so I mentioned it to a friend who is a Speech Pathologist. She assured me that it was perfectly normal at that age, and that r is one of…
