Nobody told me it could be like this…

I don’t know what your take on the Blu-Ray players is, but mine has always been…what’s the point?  I mean DVDs work perfectly fine.  They are definitely a step above VHS because of the whole no rewinding thing, and they take up less space in the entertainment cabinet, so I see no reason to change-over [...]

Loose Ends and Giveaways

I think I need to start a whole weekly meme called “loose ends Tuesday”, because every Tuesday seems to be dedicated to just that, lately.  So here goes…
If you haven’t entered the October giveaways at SecularHomeschool.com yet, be sure and stop by and enter before the end of the month.  I am giving away [...]

Friday’s Hardwired Homeschool Hints: Ancient History

One of the coolest aspects of this interest-led learning gig is that I get to do internet research.  Have I mentioned that doing internet research is right up there with imbibing a well-prepared mojito for me?  Love, love, LOVE it!
So when Uber wanted me to find some good sources of info on Ancient Greece, [...]

Readin’, Writin’ and….Meditation??

As always, in a perfect ironic twist, I blog far less when I am teaching the Blog Writing Course.  Time is simply at a premium, I guess – – especially with 18 new bloggers to keep track of!
But the course is going well…even Uber is taking it this go-round! He is having SO much fun [...]

Some Weeks Are A Little More Topsy Than Techie

So I came home from that glorious Camp Greenville field trip on Sunday to a message in my inbox from one of the members at my SecularHomeschool.com website.  It seemed that while I was hiking and dosey-do’ing, a major tool of a person was busy hacking into the site. 
I didn’t want to believe it [...]

Field Trip Wars – - Round Four or Snake Handling & Square Dancing

 
Every area or region in the U.S.of A. probably has at least one hidden treasure – –
a spot that not everyone knows about, but that is overwhelming in its beauty or resources.
Our area is actually full of those kinds of places, and yesterday we got to spend the whole afternoon at one of them.  [...]

Where Did Friday Go???

Ok, so I totally ran out of time to do a Friday’s HHH post today.  It’s been one of those days.
Where the phone rings so much that you get a temporary case of tinnitus.
Where you forget to put a VERY LATE bill into the mailbox, so you have to drive to the post office, which [...]

FreeForm Scholar

That’s the name Uber has given himself.  We came to the conclusion that we really dislike the term “unschooling”, and interest-led learning is kind of long and drawn out.  So Uber came up with “FreeForm Scholar,” which I personally adore.
The coolest part?  To commemorate, he has also begun a new blog by the same name [...]

It’s That Time Again!

Yep, I’m starting up another session of Blogging 101 at BlogWritingCourse.com.  This is always a fun undertaking – – I LOVE watching folks blossom into bloggers in just 8 short weeks! 
So if you have a friend, family member, (or even a high schooler!) who has been contemplating starting a blog, but needs that [...]
