Stream of Consciousness Homeschooling
M had just started his math page, so I turned my eyes to K. Yesterday she was trying to copy bones from our DK book of the human body (I think curious George had a bone break on PBSkids lately?) Continue reading Stream of Consciousness Homeschooling
Went Swimming today
With the kids. So I couldn’t count how many times I went up and down the pool, but both K and M ate hearty suppers and went to bed cheerfully, so they got exercise. The Y is looking nicer than Continue reading Went Swimming today
Colleen, the Wonder Detail Lady and a Story
Colleen came to the Eagle’s Wings Co-op Planning meeting, despite having had a medical procedure that morning. She took notes at the white board (without erasing the Sunday School chart) and reminded us to keep the discussion on track. I Continue reading Colleen, the Wonder Detail Lady and a Story

The Wintery Mix Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Janice Cambell.com I have a post in there this week!
This Year’s F.I.R.S.T team
Once again Dan dressed them in borrowed lab coats and hearing protectors. The F.I.R.S.T. Expo can get really, really loud, and we forgot to make tee shirts. But it’s becoming a trademark, someone recognized them from last year. The robot Continue reading This Year’s F.I.R.S.T team
There is a new knitter interview up at ChristineGuestDesigns.com With ChristineMM from The Thinking Mother. I would LOVE to have more interviews in this series. If you knit or crochet, even if you are a beginner (actually, especially if you Continue reading
