The Engineer’s Daughter
We call B the Clockkiller, because things just happen to fall off of the top bunk. But K loves anything she can take apart. I guess I’m not discouraging her very much by taking her picture doing it, huh?
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?

Carnival of homeschooling is up at Life Nurturing Education. Check out lots of homeschooling blog posts organized by homeschooling supplies. It’s like a magazine were the blog post is the table of contents linking to the articles. Mine is way Continue reading Carnival up
We were debating whether we could get the whole family ready to go out the door to mid week service or not, when we examined K, her clothes were soiled, hair sticky, and diaper iffy, so it’s just going to Continue reading Wholistic or Ballistic?

Part II I didn’t have the heart to ask if they were planning on complying with the CSPIA or not, but this little store has been a fun part of our visits to the museum for ages. Do you need Continue reading Boston Children’s Museum III; the recycle shop

When B was about 9 months old, I brought him to a navy beach on Lake Michigan with some friends who were stationed at Great Lakes Naval Base. My friends predicted that he would refuse to go off of the Continue reading snow is like sand. (?)
It looks like re-vamping schedules, or at least thinking about what works and isn’t working is something homeschooling folks do in February, judging from the Common Room post and The Thinking Mother’s post. Back when I was only schooling B, Continue reading My Love/Hate time with Schedules
