Thursday, August 6, 2015. Week 3 Searching for Balance. That is just one wrinkle in the quilt of life that is filled with dozens of wrinkles. Really, this little rant is not meant to be a pity party. I know we all have struggles; this just happens to be my sticking point right now. This week has been a week filled with good things! We attended the movie, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Their geode was clear quartz and amethyst quartz.

The last month or so has been busy times for this homeschooling mama. We have entered a literacy fair which takes place tomorrow. My zany six year old has made a fantastic poster to display on the book Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson. I will post a picture of the poster later. We have also recently gotten into geocaching. What fun! For today, I choose not to give in. There is no past that can take away my today.

Friday, September 16, 2011. I remember our first year. There were lots of discussions and prayers between the two of us. We had seen family and friends homeschool successfully. We felt like we had a good support system in place. Finally, we decided to jump in! And the Swap Shop. From our homeschooling family to yours, welcome to Homeschool Hotline! We are a websi.

The day started off beautifully. I put on a load of washing while the boys did their grammar. And then we sat down for a really good reading session. We started with Bible as always. The book contains a cd of Martin Luther King giving his speech and illustrates the most famous portion of the speech. The cd contains the whole speech and we were able to follow along with the complete text at the end of the book.
