I love limes. I eat them, peel and all, and my kids all want to love them too. Pierce and Eden are the only ones who manage to get any down, but they all want to try – even Ellie. She saw me eating one last night and begged for it. For your morning coffee-spewing […]
Elliot Adelaide: 8 months.
Dear Miss Ellie turned eight months old over the weekend. Her third tooth is fighting to emerge from her top gums, and it has her particularly clingy. She’s given my babywearing slings a good workout this past week. Ellie’s about 20 pounds, wearing 12 and 18 month clothes, sitting up and rolling every which way. […]
TOS Review: If He Had Not Come
A few weeks ago, I received for review on the Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review Crew a book from David Nicholson titled If He Had Not Come. It’s a hardcover children’s picture book, about 8″x11″ with 40 glossy colorful pages. Written for ages 6 and up, all of my children enjoyed this and Sterling, age 7 […]
TOS Review: Jim Hodges Productions
My children and I have had the privilege of receiving a MP3 CD from Jim Hodges Productions with the G.A. Henty book When London Burned and an accompanying Study Guide in PDF Format. This was designed for ages 10 and up, and it was over the heads of my younger children to a large extent, […]
An Impromptu Book Report, from Liberty
In an effort to encourage my children to read often – and to read old literature, I assigned them a book report. A new report on a new book is due every two weeks, and every other one, for my two older girls, is to be from a book that can be aquired free for […]
Bonus points if you learn to cook.
Blaine’s been working a lot of overtime lately, providing evenings with just the kids and I. Last night, as we sat around with our banana splits the discussion turned interesting. (When Daddy’s gone… we try to make things more fun around here. It tries to makes up for the Daddy being gone part.) I asked […]
TOS Review: Middlebury Interactive Languages
I’ve been working with Liberty to do a review on Middlebury Interactive Languages on their French Courses. Liberty is eleven years old, and while the Elementary French 1 that I requested is written for elementary grades 3-5, I was nervous to jump in at a higher grade level when she’s not had very much French thus far. […]
Speak truth.
Last Tuesday, the dog disappeared. She was here when we got home from co-op at 5pm but didn’t come when I called her to come inside just after midnight. The next morning, she was nowhere to be found. We called and called, but… nothing. She’s never done that before. She runs outside much of the […]
TOS Review: Standard Deviants Accelerate
Liberty and Eden, ages 9 and 11, have been working through several courses on Standard Deviants Accelerate with their Standard Deviants Accelerate Homeschool Courses. Liberty’s grade level put her into four classes, Arithmetic, Fundamental Math, Earth Science, and Nutrition. I tried to get her time on the computer four times a week for half hour […]
Photo Session: Fail.
Proof that you can take a hundred photos and not a single one will have everyone looking (at me, not at the airplane), everyone smiling, no silly faces, and no funny business. It’s impossible. They ham it up, then they recruit animals to help make things a bit more serious. This one was one of […]
