MORE BLOG UPDATES

I mentioned back in February, when my lovely dd made some changes to my blog for me, I don't take well to change. One of the things she encouraged me to use were these "pages". I wanted nothing to do with it- to be honest, I was not sure what in the world she was talking about. :) Computer savvy I am not! After seeing others in blogland utilize the pages option (and having dd explain how to create them), I decided to give it a try.

The reason I am pointing this out is that I have moved the homeschool resource links from the sidebar and put them on a page. This was a bit painful. ;) I love all of the resources I linked- honestly, I only posted resources that we love and use (or have used). I don't want them to be "out of sight, out of mind".

Just to note, most of the items I have listed are free online resources or resources that are available through the library. Investing in solid homeschool curriculum is worth it to me, but I am always grateful to find ways to make our homeschool more productive and interesting without having to spend more money.

    Lori, it looks great ~ nice and clean and organized! I'm finding some things I never knew you had, too! (Like all your FIAR stuff! Too cool. =) I think you should ad a page for some of your other helpful posts - your lap journal one comes to mind. (Of course, I love stuff like that). =)

    I wish I knew how to make pages on my blog too... I'll have to read up on how to do that! Anyway, thanks for your comment about my workboxes. I searched long and hard for the shoe racks and shoe-size boxes like in the book, but I'm really glad now that I have the bigger boxes and nice shelves that fit them perfectly--I can't imagine having to fit the books I have into those little boxes! It has definitely been worth the extra expense (even though it ended up being my birthday gift).

    Pages are a great way to make things easier for folks to find! :)

Our Morning Time

Image
Look at me writing 2 posts so close together!! So... I have loved listening to the podcasts on morning time called "Your Morning Basket". I have listened to all of them. Very inspiring! They are all worthwhile to listen to, but I have to tell you that episode #2 with Andrew Pudewa is a game changer (in the homeschool sense). We have had our own variations on morning time in our house. When my girls were younger (they are now 31, 30, 28 and 22 years old), we had "seat work time" and "couch time". I'd say that couch time was our version of what is now being called morning time. For the most part, we read historical fiction, discussed history (I would either read from or discuss from a text), learned a little geography, read the bible, had prayer time, and had some pretty fun discussions. There was a transition when my now 28 year old became sort of a teachers helper for her younger sister. I remember working on art appreciation with her at the h...

Week in Review: February 1-5 2016

Image
Lots of baby care around here as the boys' big sister (our second daughter, Jessica) was having her fifth baby. It was a week full of sword fighting, cuddles, disney movies, books, and coloring. It's also been a week full of colds. The 2 year old twins had a cold, which I assume James caught from them (although every one in the world seems to have it, so not necessarily). The problem is that no matter how many times I caution the boys, who can resist cuddling with a sweet little toddler who does not feel well? I guess germs are meant to be shared. In the way of school, we have been in "keep up" mode. Paul's strongest focus is on his Dave Ramsey finance class (which I highly recommend), his Spanish class, and his economics course. http://www.daveramsey.com/store/search.ep?keyWords=homeschool http://www.livinglanguage.com/languagelab/spanish  (I cannot recommend this highly enough. The books and cds make it easy to open and go. Additionally, the...

Din-spiration Part 6

Image
This is sort of a lighthearted post, but I am going to start by saying that all those in Paris and the World are in my prayers. There are never words when something so unspeakable happens. As it has been pointed out, it happens far more often that we usually hear about in places that are more obscure to most of us. I'm going to continue with this planned post as most of us still have "normal life" to attend to and families to feed amidst this very stressful backdrop. To keep myself accountable, I was going to keep up posting about my crusade to eat at home. I have failed the last few weeks, but the resolve to eat at home has not! The great thing is that on the days when resolve wanes in me, my husband picks it up. He is often the one to encourage me that he can stop by and pick up an ingredient I forgot, or to step in and create a dish himself. He chose make us a Lasagna last week- for me, that is a more involved dinner than I will take on a week day. Rather than...
