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 grindstone of the homeschooling world, you probably heard about the Good Morning America story this morning on [...]

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-screaming-down-the-street kind of busy right now. So please forgive me for my bloggy neglect. And to ADD to the busyness I am seriously thinking of taking up the [...]

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 instructor over the whir of the electric typewriters. “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.” A-a-a-S-s-s-;-;-;-L-l-l [...]

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 state is BIG on the standardized testing. I mean it’s REALLY important here, for some reason. I’m pretty [...]

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 my options… Private school? Not even an possibility. Therapies and doctors visits had already put our rears in arrears. Public school? Scary. [...]

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 pinch more wordy and thought I would follow up with an actual post for those of you who just might be [...]

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 world inspiration basically just breeds frustration, which leads to anger, which leads to apathy. So when I [...]

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 completely to cloth napkins, which I discovered you can get for about 10 cents each at most thrift stores – – cheap [...]

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 Sardines in a Can this morning… I like to visit homeschooling curriculum websites. It is kind of like rubbing [...]
