So ... has everyone started back to homeschool??? We haven't. We are planning on starting back on January 9th. I've spent the last part of last week and will use all of this week to get my act together. We are going to study the human body starting this month and I'm waiting for a book I ordered on Amazon.com (The Body Book) to get here for that. If it doesn't show I do have other things we

I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy New Year!!! I hope the new year will bring you all Health, Knowledge, Happiness, Love, Wealth, Success, Peace, Friendship, and Wisdom. How did you bring in the New Year??? We, of course, stay up late. Everyone was up past 1 o'clock AM here. At midnight we watched the New York City show and the ball drop. Then went outside with our horns and

Each year Jen, from Projects by Jen, hosts a Holiday Card Exchange. This is our 3rd year participating in this project. This project was open to all PreK-6th grade classes around the world. Classes were teamed with 29 other classes (we ended up with 31 altogether - 30 to mail out) to exchange cards. Everyone was sent a document with all the names and addresses of the classes in their group and

Kentucky Highlands Museum has what they call Super Saturdays. Our last Super Saturday was anything but super in my book. This one was A LOT better! The teacher of this one came prepared. I was very happy with this class. The class was Dr. Bob's Science Sampler ... Hot Air Balloons Below is what the kids learned about ... hot air is lighter than cold air so that's why it rises ...

Something I thought needed to be looked at again. Washington, D.C., November 17, 2011 – Today, ParentalRights.Org released an online docudrama, Overruled: Government Invasion of Your Parental Rights, which outlines today’s dangers facing American parents in their ability to direct the upbringing and education of their children.

Normally that means seeds in the bird feeders ... but during the Christmas season we like to give our birdies a little treat.

PEARL HARBOR REMEMBRANCE DAY IN THE UNITED STATES Today we commemorate "Pearl Harbor Day."  Seventy years ago, Battleship Row, in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked with incomprehensible destruction by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The next day President Franklin D. Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 "a date which will live in infamy." Thus we were drawn into fatal conflict with Japan. It

Guilty as charged! How many times have I allowed current stressful circumstances to lure me into thinking my present situation is more important than my boys' future??? How many times have I been annoyed by the the sounds or actions of my boys and then reacted out of fustration rather than realizing that my actions as a parent will affect the adult lives of my boys??? How often do we

Well I hope you all had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Our day was most certainly NOT a typical Thanksgiving!!! It seemed that every time you turned around something else went wrong that day. It all started with not getting up on time. Mike and Nick both had to work Thursday night due to the Black Friday sales, so I wanted to get the turkey on by 6 am so that we would be ready to eat by

Lowe's Build and Grow Free Kids' Clinics are AWESOME!!! Walter and Sammy love going to these clinics. Sometimes the things are a little to "babish" for my boys, but most times they get to make a cool little project. This past Saturday they built a Science Lab. It's just a little wooden frame with a couple of test tubes, a dish, and some experiment cards, but the boys had a fun time

Normally I make this in a crock pot, but after all the compliments I received last night I do not believe I’ll ever make it that way again! : ) I popped 3 chicken breasts in the oven and cooked them. Then shredded two of them and cut the third into chunk size pieces. In a large pot I added: 1 Large can of Cream of
