Six weeks ago, I received a course from Veritas Press in their Self-Paced History for Eden (age 9) to work through titled Middle Ages, Renaissance, and Reformation as part of a review for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s review crew. She has completed 27 lessons in that time. Intended for grades 2nd-6th, Eden fell squarely into this category, […]
TOS Review: Go Science
Several weeks ago, I received two DVDs from Library and Educational Services in their Go Science series, the first was Volume 2: Life Science, Weather, and the second was Volume 7: Engineering, Design, Flight. These are fun science DVDs that add a bit extra to our current science curriculum and provided about an hour of […]
Ellie
Sweet Ellie got her ears pierced this week. In typical Ellie-laid-back style, she hollered for a few seconds and then decided I wasn’t entirely horrible to her after all. It’s a good trait for the youngest of seven. Her cheeks, obviously, aren’t shrinking. Love them. Her necklace disappears in the rolls of her neck. Welcome […]
Ring Sling: Done
I’ve made a lot of slings. Mei Tais, tube slings, a Moby, a couple Buddhas, and a few water ring slings. I’ve been wanting to try a linen ring sling for a while. This week, I did. Osnaburg is woven, making it ideal for baby wearing. But… it comes un-bleached, un-dyed, and un-shrunk. A bit […]
Heard around my house lately: “Why, you’re just a cheerful camper!” Doesn’t have quite the same ring as happy camper… “Momma, your new necklace looks like a yogurt covered raisin to me. Every time I see it I think of puke because I HATE yogurt covered raisins.” Pierce was pretending to be a lion. I […]
Elliot Adelaide: 3.5 months
Dear Miss Ellie is three and a half months old, grinning easily, laughing and cooing, and loves her feet. Never fail, she puts one leg up on the bar in front of her in the stroller. She kicks at the toys on her bouncy seat and thinks that’s hilarious. She loves her pacifier too. She […]
Elmer: the nursemaid.
Blaine found Elmer protecting our home with complete ferociousness the other morning. Kind of hard to take him seriously when he’s covered in kittens, I think.
Craziness.
Craziness. Life seems to go in spurts. Things are boring and normal for a while, and then life gets insane. The septic was fixed as of last Wednesday. Blaine got home Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning, the septic backed up again. He got it going again, and so far, so good. Let me tell you, a […]
TOS Review: We Choose Virtue
For about seven weeks now, we’ve been starting our weekdays with We Choose Virtues. As part of a TOS Review, I received their Parenting Cards (a physical copy – I chose NIV, but they also offer a King James Old Testament-only format) and a file full of downloadable material as well – that included a Kids […]
TOS Review: Learning Palette
About a month and a half ago, I received a year’s subscription to LearningPalette.com from Learning Wrap ups as part of a review for the Old Schoolhouse Magazine’s Review Crew. I signed Ruby, age five and having just finished Kindergarten, and Sterling, age 7 and having just finished first grade, up. Both children worked in both Basic […]
