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 out the pony beads and shoe laces the other day for general peace and something to do (And the OC said that beading would help B’s handwriting). M showed me his string, and asked me if I knew Continue reading More than meets the eye
This is one of those questions I don’t get asked, but should. It used to be a lot harder, and the bathroom door couldn’t close. In fact, I usually would bathe after they were all in bed. But now I’ve Continue reading How Do I Homeschool and…Take a Shower?
B and I were reminiscing about this field trip when M reminded me that the last time we took it, he was 3-ish. After all, B is not the only student in this household. So, I volunteered to set it Continue reading Hike at Moosehill

Check out Home Spun Juggling (She lives in Westchester county NY, her neighbors really are likely to be like this) And the follow up cartoons here and here. OK Christina; what do you say to the sincerely concerned people who Continue reading Are homeschoolers Rich?
We had 5 books waiting for us at the library – so even though the kid’s noses are still drippy, we walked to the park and library. Of course, the library opens at 11:30AM on Thursdays, so we had a Continue reading Thaw
My kids are still sick. It’s still February. So I’m posting photos of what my garden looked like before snow, in case I can make this post profound. My friend Annie managed profundity in What kind of Garden are you? Continue reading Does my garden say anything about me?
Last summer, I heard a Mom caution her approximately three year old son, “No running, remember,” on a wood chipped play ground next to a springy lawn. I watched this boy a bit, was the little guy suffering from some Continue reading I Actually Heard this at the Park
