The children are having a royal Charlotte Mason day. Throughout the morning and afternoon, their excitement has been building upon itself. First it was the discovery of one black and orange caterpillar. Shortly later, they came back with a bug box of three more. And then, with ever increasing fanfare they were announcing that they [...]

Unschooling. How It Happens.
Posted in Homeschooling Hatchlings on August 29, 2006 | 1 Comment »
I’ve wondered at times about the process of how one “unschools” their child. In our house, we have a semblance of structure for an hour or two which includes reading, copywork, and math. As those who follow this blog know, we also rely heavily on Ambleside Online for all of our literature. I could be [...]

I know I’ve been quiet. Real quiet. This week was a huge week for me. So major that I was too nervous to blog about it on Tuesday, too excited to blog about it on Wednesday, and not sure what to say once I hit Thursday.

The library has a plethora of [...]

I thought I’d take the plunge, bite the bullet, and dip my toe in the beta infested waters of Blogger’s new layout options. I did this today using my Out Of The Box homeschooling blog as a guinea pig. I don’t like the idea of ditching my HTML code, and for the moment, that [...]

There are two parts of my day that I can count on for peace. In the morning, I enjoy a fresh cup of coffee with yogurt, a happy squealish baby in her excerbuggy, and a warm dog snuggled up in the arm chair. It is a wonderful time. It is my favorite time of the [...]
Yippey Skippey Blogger!

This is what I needed…a few upgrades from Blogger to make it all new and fun again. I was just beginning to wonder what in the wide world Blogger was doing since Google scooped it up. So happily, it took me all of about two seconds to consider whether I should risk it and dive [...]
