10 Days of Teaching Home Ec Skills Series

I’m so excited to share with you that I’ll be participating in the “10 Days of…” series with iHomeschool Network.  Over ten days in the next two weeks (no weekends), 28 bloggers will be sharing an amazing wealth of knowledge and experiences.  Even if you don’t homeschool, you will be able to find topics of [...]

7 Quick Takes: April 13, 2012 (Vol. 118)

~ 1 ~ Eight months ago, I had a horrible, painful pain that lasted for about 20 minutes and then went away.  It was weird and awful.  I happened to be out of town and driving, so I had to pull over for my Mom to take over, while I promptly almost vomited and passed [...]

7 Quick Takes: March 16, 2012 (Vol. 116)

~ 1 ~ I remember that in mid March when I was in 8th grade, we had a horrible ice storm that left us without power for around five or six days and out of school for a week.  (It was also the night I was out of town with my sister and her husband [...]

10 Things We Did To Encourage a Struggling Reader

Struggling reader, reluctant reader, whatever you call it — Noah (who has Asperger’s Syndrome) definitely had an extremely difficult time reading when he was younger.  When he left school after second grade, they told me that he was just barely at grade level.  Of course, what this meant is that he was just barely at [...]

Easy and Fun Leap Day Activities with Your Children

Nothing like last minute, but last night, I wrote up 29 things to do with your kids on Leap Day with little or no planning involved.  While written with homeschoolers in mind, most of the activities are great for kids of all schooling types. Oh, well, except number 29.  I’m fairly certain it may not [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 28, 2012 (Vol. 110)

~ 1 ~ I’ve been sick all week, and this has been pretty miserable.  It’s mostly just stuffed up sinuses, along with a headache (because my sinuses are stuffed up) and tiredness (because I’m not sleeping well because, well you know). I have a sneaky suspicion that having the weather go between warmish to really [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 21, 2012 (Vol. 109)

~ 1 ~ This week, Molly said, “Let’s push up the ceiling!” I had to ask, “Is that like ‘Let’s raise the roof?’” These kids crack me up! ~ 2 ~ After a lot of thought and trying a couple of languages in our homeschooling, we’ve finally decided to go with the homeschooling cliche and [...]

7 Quick Takes: January 7, 2012 (Vol. 107)

~ 1 ~ I would say that I held off an extra day to write my “7 Quick Takes” because I wanted my 107th edition of 7 Quick Takes to be on January 7th instead of the 6th.  But, alas, I’m not a good liar.  (I never have been, and my Mom says that’s not [...]

7 Quick Takes: November 11, 2011 (Vol. 103)

~ 1 ~ I made a horrible error in judgement this week.  It was something that I knew better not to do, but I did it anyway. I played Angry Birds for the first time.  And the second and the third and the fortieth time, and so on.  One night, I decided to play for [...]
