I realize I am probably one of maybe 100,000+ people who are going to blog about this today, but what can I say?…OCCASIONALLY I fit in with the crowd. If you even vaguely keep your ear to the g...
Believe me, I understand how vomitous it is to read yet another blog post by someone saying how busy they are. But I am seriously, no-holds-barred, barely-can-find-time-to-take-a -shower, ready-to-run...
Just had to pop into T-T tonight to brag about my baby. (No not THAT kind of baby, silly!! When my biological clock ticks, I just open a new website!!) The source of my pride is Sec...
Today was a FUN day. I mean more fun than a lost dog in a meat market! I have no pictures to show for it, but that’s because I was having too much fun to remember to take them. The temps ...
I have to think back a bit to remember my beginning keyboarding days. It was called “typing” back in the day, and there were about eight of us in the back of a classroom listening to our instru...
Just launched the April giveaway at SHS.com today, so head over and enter if you have (or will have) a child in 2nd-5th grade and would be interested in winning a secular-based homeschool chemistry c...
This is the week. The week of the school year that always makes me cringe and make scrunchy faces and feel like taking more than one shower a day. This week is STANDARDIZED TEST week. Hmph! Our...
I’m not a naturally jealous person. Well, at least not in the sense of checking the hubster’s collar for lipstick stains, or foraging through his pockets for any stray hotel matchbooks. (I guess the...
So I haven’t blogged about the hubby in a while, and after this week, I think it just may be high time. That’s because this week, Resistant-Techie has come front and center of the Topsy drama.&...
So. Where were we? Oh yeah. Deciding whether or not to send my little guy back into the world of mass-market learning. Well…I spent the whole summer before Uber’s 1st grade year studying ...
The other day I wimped out and lazed my way through the topic of why we homeschool by basically just “ditto”-ing Pioneer Woman’s terrific post on the subject. But today, I’m feeling a slight pi...
Did you ever read a really good blog post…no, not a good blog post… I mean a really GREAT blog post, and it inspired you to write your little heart out?? Yeah? Well, huzzah for you. In my...
My ecological footprint has definitely shrunk in the last ten years. Our family has made both big and small changes to help nurture our favorite planet back to health. For instance, we’ve moved...
I find myself surfing further and further into the sea of homeschooling blogs, and it has become a rather fun new hobby. Mostly because it brings me across gems like this one, that I read at Sa...
I swear it seems like just a couple months ago that I was bemoaning my youngest sons entrance into official teenage-dom. And yet, yesterday was H-T’s 14th birthday!! How does that HAPPEN??!! H-...
I’m such a tree-hugger at heart, so it is really kind of weird to me that I didn’t end up out in the very edge of the boonies somewhere in a little cottage with a hammock on the front porch and a sat...
It’s been a little while since I took the time to tell you about my latest bloggy wanderings. I get bored all-too easily, so I’m always searching for new material to inspire me, to make me laug...
I have just about the least amount of natural art talent of anyone I know. Stick figures are the highlight of my art portfolio. Thankfully, I married a fella with MAD art skills, so I hoped it woul...
I don’t think I’ve mentioned on T-T that I recently got myself a new-to-me vehicle! Those of you who stalk me on Facebook can go ahead and yawn now. But for the rest of you, please allow ...
All through the life of my kiddos, I have adored every stage and age. In fact, whenever people would say to me “don’t you think this stage is the best of all” I could ALWAYS answer “YES” no mat...
I don’t know the exact percentage of homeschoolers who consider themselves faith-based, but I’m guessing it is in the high double digits. And resources and websites for NON-faith-based h...
Image via Wikipedia So thanks to the recent Snowmageddon that crossed the country and wreaked havoc on the whole eastern seaboard, yours truly was out of power for about a day. For many of you, that ...
Just had to pass along this interesting article, which most definitely was not written for unschoolers, but it SO makes a point, nevertheless! “What If Video Games Were Like Schools” Filed under: tec...
So wow! I can’t thank you folks enough for all the well wishes on my behalf after I shared my basically nauseating tale of having a mole on my upper back removed. The good news, though?&#...
I’ve been avoiding my blog lately. It happens almost every time I teach another session of the Blog Writing Course. For one thing, I’m spending 25-30 hours a week on the laptop for work, ...
So I thought I would give you an update on our unschooling adventure and how that’s going. As you can guess, even our unschooling tends toward the techie. Uber is busily learning Java and...
So the first thing in my inbox today was a surprising email from Obi-Mom letting me know that we had both made a list for “Top Ten Wired Mom Blogs!” I got that feeling akin to what Tom Hanks mu...
Image by rigeneriamoci via Flickr I’m not sure how your family actively studies vocabulary, but we have our own unique strategy around here: give birth to a geekling. Our 15-year-old has a new ...
Image by Keenahn via Flickr So I guess I made my New Years Resolution back in September sometime. That was when I scheduled a two-week vacation for after the holidays from work and homeschool i...
That’s right. I’m back. Back from my longest bloggy break ever. So let’s catch up for a minute. Our holidays were lovely. Quiet. Peaceful. And even SNOWY…woot!! Christmas came...
