Great Quote
“There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.” — Russian Proverb I would like to indelibly imprint this upon myself and my children. Sometimes (OK, more often than not) I feel like I need to know all the answers. This is not something that came about because I homeschool [...]

Catching Up
Wrote this in little snatches throughout the day. Hope it makes sense! My mom left for hom on Saturday morning. We were sad to see her go, but really enjoyed her visit. I had lots of activities planned but because of the rain, most were canceled. Of course, after GiGi left the weather turned gorgeous. [...]

Food for Thought
Doing some morning blog reading and came across an interesting post on math manipulatives at Text Savy. It is a new-to-me blog that I found by way of Maria’s Homeschool Math blog. Not sure how I feel on the subject yet. Will have to digest it a bit more. Ok, back to morning routines!

The Voice of a Friend

Catching up
This will be kinda shortish, I have a headache… a really bad one. I don’t often get them so there is a specific reason for it I am sure. (like not drinking enough water or getting enough sleep) My mother made the trip here safe and sound. The kids have been hanging off her since [...]

Double bummer
Received the Japanese lessons chip from Pimsleur in the mail yesterday. Unfortunately, my computer won’t recognize it. I think it is the sd adapter or its driver that is the issue. Pimsleur has been less then helpful. Their reply (complete with bad grammar) was to contact my local PC guru. Gee, uhhh… thanks. Dunno that [...]

The Proof
See! I really do eat dandelions. I was worried after that late frost I wouldn’t get a sufficient bloom to make jelly this year but yesterday they were out… not as much as last year… but enough to make jelly. I never noticed that dandelions do have a wonderful honey-like smell. Here is the recipe [...]
