7 Quick Takes: July 30, 2010 (Vol. 47)

~ 1 ~ So, apparently I survived the Chuck E. Cheese birthday party last week, huh?  In what was apparently a sign that we are apparently pretty social homeschoolers, we ended up with 23 children at the party.  When I ordered some lunch for myself, our party hostess (who was super helpful, especially as we [...]

I Love Notebooks

I have noticed that most people fall into one of two camps — they either don’t care about school/office supplies or the love them.  I’m in the love them camp, as I’m sure you already figured out. Ever since I was a little girl, back to school time has left me feeling gleeful, just at [...]

We Love You, Little House on the Prairie Books!

I think that, too often, people think of young girls when they think of who might be reading the Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. That being said, I will admit that I had never read them when I was younger, and rarely watched the show (which I’m glad for now, since [...]

Buy an eBook at 50% off and Help Noah Get a Bike

I have shared before that our oldest son (who just turned 11!) has Asperger’s Sydrome (a high functioning form of Autism).  This has meant that a lot of things in our lives haven’t been exactly how we thought they would be.  However, it has also meant that we have had a child who is this [...]

The Birthday Present That I Can Never Top

Have you ever given someone a gift and realized that it was so good, so perfect, so wonderful that you will never be able to give that person a better gift? Maybe you wandered through a vintage thrift store and found your best friend one of those plastic charm necklaces that you guys used to [...]

Many Little Links: July 24, 2010

My kitchen table is buried under school materials for next school year (aka “next month”) and here I am – writing a blog post instead.  Hopefully one day soon I’ll get all of that planning done.  (Fingers crossed!)  Even better would be if I could get caught up on my email too.  Dream big, Angie!

7 Quick Takes: July 23, 2010 (Vol. 46)

~ 1 ~ Very soon, we will be having a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party (for Jack and Noah) where there will be right around 20 children.  Yes, that’s a two and a zero.  So much for homeschool kids being unsocialized. On a funny note, I think it’s a sign that they’re homeschooled as none [...]
