I’ve spent the better part of the last three days going through homeschooling curriculum. It has been bittersweet. I’ve gathered together and prepared for sale the last four Sonlight Cores (2,3,4 & 5) that we’ve used. These are history/world culture books that we’ve loved and cherished. But it is time for us to do something [...]
Making My List
June 2, 2008 By 5 Comments
School is finished for the year! That feels sooo good. We got halfway through Sonlight’s Core 5 (Eastern Hemisphere) over the year, which is what I expected, given our workload. We won’t need to buy another core in the fall. But anyway, we are rethinking our school priorities. With all we do now and are [...]

This morning I began to sort through my catch-all mending basket in my sewing room (also the family room). It used to be the catch all for unmatched socks. Those all got buried underneath my mending.

Before I could get to it though, we had a power outage from 3 am that lasted until mid-morning. Then we didn’t have water, because the water pressure got so low that the pressure [...]
Visiting the Ranch

Haniya took her clipboard along when we visited our friends’ ranch for note-taking. What a good student. Naomi and Mikah brought their eyes. They all asked good questions. After we walked around looking at all their facilities, meeting their big bull, and see the newborn twins, we ate our packed lunch on the porch. It [...]

Homeschool Books for Sale…
September 11, 2007 By Leave a Comment
I’ve spent much of the summer cleaning out homeschool stuff accumulated for the last 6 years. I decided against posting them for sale on ebay, so as to avoid fees. I chose HSLDA instead.
