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?
I got an invitation to check out a site today in my e-mail from a couple who have retired from public school teaching, and are posting lots of free activities, picture book reviews, and science activities at http://free-school-activities.com/wordpress/ Looks like Continue reading New (to me) site for freebies and printables
I’ve heard that baby’s will often sing in a certain interval ( I forget which one ) but it’s in the Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah chant, and the song "Blue Bird." K sings when Da Da gets home Continue reading Happy Baby Hum
As a co-ordinator, I did OK today, though I did forget one of the folks would be out sick, and had to scramble a bit to get a substitute to cover. As a Mom, I left our lunch on the Continue reading First Day of this Late Winter Co-op
As I waited for my one hour photos to print last night, I noticed a young man in a tee-shirt all over the CVS once I put down the book and moved on to cute cards. He was everywhere, giving Continue reading It’s not the suit
We needed bar soap for hands last night, so DH asked me if I wanted the chance to be the errand adult, and I took it. I also added, that as long as I was going to the CVS, I’d Continue reading My solo trip to the CVS
We had a fun planning meeting last night. DH reminded me that my nerves are like a race horse’s: I shake, but I love this stuff. Who knows why ;-) We’ve got a fun short semester planned; the first and Continue reading That was Easy
I actually love leading the planning meeting, because it’s cool to see what emerges as our schedule. But since I stood everyone up last week accidentally, I’m a little nervous. I always get nervous at planning meeting night anyway, sort Continue reading Planning Meeting Jitters
I surprised my husband with his Valentine’s treat this year. He is practically psychic, so this is a big deal. His grandmother in Ohio always filled her candy jars with Heggy’s chocolates when he’d come to visit her in Alliance. Continue reading She Shoots, she Scores!
My most embaressing problem stemming from the flu was that when I e-mailed the Eagle’s Wings Co-op not to come to the big planning meeting, I messed up how I sent it and only thought I’d sent it out. They Continue reading The worst goof this week
We were SO sick. DH said he’d never seen me so distressed, and since he coached me at all three births, that’s saying something. We’ve had the nastiest stomach flu we’ve ever had. At one point DH was cleaning up Continue reading Crawling back to health
I hadn’t kicked yesterday’s IBS headache this morning. I decided to do this week’s history morning, today. I let those days float until I need them. (A history morning is where M and B together listen to the history reading, Continue reading Sometimes the Story of the World is Too Exciting ;-)
I was convinced that I could never scrapbook, so until I started homeschooling and needed to make a portfolio, I ignored the cool isles of pretty stuff in Michaels. One night my husband was watching the kids so I could Continue reading Simple Scrapbooks merging with Creating Keepsakes; sigh
