Kids!

Would you believe that my son got all those presents for Christmas PLUS all the toys he already had and he is over here playing with… clear plastic spoons. Gotta love the way children think.

Homeschool works!

Seriously, it does. The experts and parents alike are finding this out more and more. We must also be careful that our rights are not removed by the very place we feel safe and secure. There may come a time when we all must fight for the right to raise our children as we see [...]

I shouldn’t stare at other mothers’ blogs

I get too overwhelmed by the joy that is their child through their eyes. I lose all the affirmation that I am doing alright with my son. It’s like looking into a cracked mirror with the silver wearing off the back. There are holes in the reflection and it’s all distorted. Yes, distorted. I think [...]

He can count by 20s?

Yes in recent news, he can count by 20′s and it’s pretty shocking to me LOL He can also recognize/predict words by the sounds the letters make. This morning he was playing his new Sesame Street V-smile game and he was rhyming words pretty well. I am proud of his progress. He is also picking [...]

Our Christmas projects

Okay so we did make the angels for the tree, only 2 of them, and they are made from a spoon and a rag. My son decided to make multi-cultural angels, though, so one of them has a black face. We didn’t have any other marker colors out, so I guess he thought that was [...]

Kids are too much…she agrees

Funny how children can be so perceptive and we can be thinking the same thoughts as they are. Just look at my friend Sindy’s son Josh. I mean, wow. I thought that I was upset about Christmas music being so early in the year. It was pretty funny to read about his reaction. I love [...]

Beautifully written carnival

Just wanted you all to know that there is an articulate and interesting homeschool carnival now available on Apollos Academy blog. Our article about why we homeschool has been included, but you should read the whole carnival. It is the most well put together carnival I have seen to date. The author, The Tutor, was [...]
