February 15, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

Christopher finished his MCP Phonics A book! Good job, dude! Action shots. Whoo hoo! Look at Thomas and Reilly studying away! More studying! What a whirlwind of activity!(and WHEN am I ever going to remember to get a new frame for that poster? Good grief…) Of course, the little ones want to homeschool as well… … [Read more…]

BOOK REVIEWS: Saints of the American Wilderness and From Sea to Shining Sea

January 20, 2009 by Kathy 6 Comments

Did you know that Sophia Institute Press is selling some of their books for $2.00? TWO DOLLARS! Seriously… you can’t pass up a deal like that. Especially when you see some of the titles they have in their list! I have bought many of them already (and am in the process of reading several of … [Read more…]

I’m back!… and homeschooling stuff

July 28, 2008 by Kathy 6 Comments

UPDATED to fix some mixed-up links! Isn’t that a great title? Yea, I was pretty proud of it myself… (not really…) Thankfully, Grace is now back to her ornery, monkey-like self. I’ve had the joy of having my little ankle-biter (oh, you think I’m kidding, don’t you?) follow me around the house today, attacking me whenever I … [Read more…]

One, Two, Three, Jump!

June 30, 2008 by Kathy 4 Comments

The day that I have been dreading is upon me at last: Today I will start homeschooling five of my children. Five. All at once. With a two-year old (Marie) and a hyper-active 8-month old (Grace) in the wings. [said 8-month old is currently on my lap, tearing apart my desk and trying to get … [Read more…]

Ooh! That’s cool!

Many thanks to Dawn from By Sun and Candlelight, who offered this link to Learn Bird Songs. What a great resource! Maybe this time I will *finally* be able to recognize a call or two… other than an owl or a whipporwill.

Book reviews

April 22, 2008 by Kathy 4 Comments

Words are Categorical series[I’m not sure where I first saw this series recommended, so my apologies for not being able to give the proper credit where it is due.] You’ve bought the Schoolhouse Rock video for your kids, and they can sing along with classics like “Conjunction Junction” and “A Noun’s a Person, Place, or … [Read more…]

Mythology for kids

April 10, 2008 by Kathy 3 Comments

I have to take a few minutes to talk about some of the books my kids and I have been reading recently. After seeing a recommendation for The Lightning Thief by Dawn from By Sun and Candlelight, I was intrigued. Greek mythology set in modern times? hmmmmmmmm. The first paragraph (or two) really pulls the … [Read more…]

Just a few more days to go!

April 8, 2008 by Kathy 2 Comments

I can’t believe it… this is our last week of homeschooling for this school year! Do all moms get as giddy about this as I do? I enjoy homeschooling — I really do — but the kids and I get into that “when is this going to end” sort of funk in January, and it’s … [Read more…]

He makes it fun

April 2, 2008 by Kathy 1 Comment

The assignment in Intermediate Language Lessons was to tell the story of two squirrels, and to include whatever adventures they might find. It sounded pretty corny to me, actually, but Sean has been having fun writing lately, so I asked him to write a story. This is what he came up with: Once there were … [Read more…]

Homeschooling review

February 19, 2008 by Kathy 7 Comments

There are few things in life more thrilling, more wonderful, than seeing that familiar brown truck pull up in front of the house, and a delivery person jump out.. a package or two in hand… containing NEW BOOKS! (OK, if they contained chocolate it would be more exciting, but just play along here!) Ah yes, … [Read more…]
