My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
As my nephew says, "It’s TOO Morning." AND I have to go to the dentist today. UGG. I have a molar with an unstable matrix – it’s held together with a filling. Two days ago something chipped loose Continue reading It’s TOO Morning (A quote from my nephew)
Looking over my language arts log, I realized we’ve been neglecting poetry. Since I’ve been re-reading various Charlotte Mason blogs, I’ve been re-inspired to keep up with good literature. I checked the Ambleside Online website to see what poetry was Continue reading Charlotte Says Read Poetry
Well, maybe we did over do it a little, but it was fun: Co-op in the morning, lunch in the car, two hours at the library, then a tour of the new farm where we will be CSA members, Continue reading First Day Out after Chicken Pox
I’m feeling my way towards a system. There are tasks I can only do with both hands (like take a shower and cook diner). These things happen when K is napping, being held by someone else, or lying on Continue reading Schooling around the Baby, now we are done with Chicken Pox.
K’s supper was delicious. He took home leftovers, and we have some for lunch too. I listened to B’s Latin lesson with Grandma after supper. I think she is more patient with him than I am, he is silly Continue reading So, yes, he can cook.
At the Ob/Gyn visit this morning, my doctor could not feel the baby’s head, and thought she might have turned breech – but she’s just still floating in lots of amniotic fluid and not engaged yet, we checked with Continue reading I’m Still Here

This morning by some amazing chance or providence, we got done with chores by 9AM, and school went so smoothly I got morning snack served and kids outside by 11AM. We had time to read "Story of the World" Continue reading Mongol Monday
Grandma Strikes again! B’s favorite Christmas present this year was a carnivorous plant terrerium. This morning I decided to do a little formal school, it made a good change from holidays actually; spelling dictation, Story of the World, Continue reading Carnivorous Plants
I read the boys the Christmas chapter from "Farmer Boy," last night. This didn’t go over as well as might have been expected, as Daddy had gone with Grandma to prayer meeting (I’d gotten a call that the lady Continue reading So they were Listening Last Night
I’ve almost lost some teachable moments, because the topic my son got interested in was one I’d assumed he’d not need until college or High school at the earliest. Since he’s magically become an avid, fluent reader (four novels at Continue reading Teachable Moments
I have a problem when I take the children on field trips to quaint, touristy, historic sites: I do pack our lunch, but I forget to be frugal on everything else! There is a dearth of yarn stores near me, Continue reading Plymouth Today
