I've just recently gotten involved with the online homeschooling community, posting on message boards and creating a website full of information about homeschooling. I happened upon the TOS magazine at a local bookstore and decided to subscribe to it.
The FREE gifts were just a bonus - TOS is the best homeschooling magazine I've ever read and I just had to share it with the visitors to my site.
I was soon invited to join the blogging community that TOS is creating for homeschoolers and I'm ABSOLUTELY THRILLED to be here!
I'm finding my blog to be a source of enjoyment for myself as I post about my life. I also enjoy reading what others have to share about themselves.
The best part is that I can visit my new "friends" whenever I have the time to drop in!
I just wanted to drop everyone at TOS a note to say how blessed I feel to be associated with your publication.
Not only has advertising with you brought me lots of new subscribers, but your staff has been incredibly helpful in showing this rookie the ropes in regards to advertising and marketing my little business.
I will always be grateful for the encouragement I have received, along with the great response to my ads!

Brinsea brings us the R-Com Digital Egg Incubator and accompanying EZ Scope. This has been a fun learning tool for our family. We are new to hatching chicks in an incubator, and the R-Com is so easy to use!
The R-Com will handle three eggs at a time and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction guide to make this process simple and enjoyable! The children love waiting and watching for chicks to break through. The digital readout and incubator itself made ...
Topic of the week- 1/6/09 by Roots and Wings Homeschool Co-op Happy New Year everyone! I hope your year is off to a great start!
As another new year begins, I find myself evaluating many areas of my life and trying to prioritize, organize and yearn to enjoy Peace and Joy in every day. Today was one of those really good days with my boys...so in addition to being thankful for the peace and joy in my home today, I also had to ask myself...."what made it such a great day? Why were the kids much more cooperative today than on many other days?" And this led me to our Topic (more)
Help For Growing Families-Illness by mommaofmany
My dear friend has four children four and under. She is in the trenches of Littles-only parenting and it.is.hard! Her children recently were ill for a couple of weeks. It reminded me of a period of time that I'd rather forget.
My five Lambies were 6 and younger. I also had foster children. They caught something that went round and round and round for THREE months. It wasn't a simple runny nose or an annoying cough. It was a puking thing. Awful. I had some throw up all over the place, every week, at least once, for three solid months. (more)
He's getting it! by Megan We've just started Letter Of the Week with C. This week we're wrapping up the letter 'B'. We're so excited because he is starting to understand what letters are, they have a sound and he's learning the ASL signs for them as well. I thought that with his hearing loss, this would be much more difficult and to be honest, I've been very nervous about teaching him how to read. He actually said, "B, ball, ba ba ba" and then signed the letter B on his own. He's done this quite a bit with other 'B' words as well. I (more)

Teeth! by Hobbitsmom This weekend was an eventful one for our youngest who is 5. He lost his first tooth. It was the usual first tooth trauma - 'will it come out on its own or not'. Daddy would tease him and he'd try oh so hard to wiggle that thing out. Finally, Saturday night, he let me give it a go & POP! out it came. We have the unspoken joke of the tooth fairy here. Everyone knows it's Daddy, but everyone plays along. The first tooth is always the big one financial wise & he wasn't disappointed. It gave him something to (more)
Our Christmas by Lynne Here are some pictures from our Christmas (the one we celebrated at our house with just the kids). It would be nice to be able to celebrate one time and then be done. I think we end up 'doing' Christmas about 4 times--it's a bit overwhelming and time-consuming. But, anyway, here they are...

Tightwad Tuesday~ Making It Just A Little Warmer and What I have Changed In The Last Year by Canadagirl
"There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."
This weeks tip...

Now, with it being cooler this winter we need every trick in the book we can get to make our homes warmer. I learned not to long ago if you close your curtains it warms up the your room by 5 degrees in the winter and cools down the room by 5 degrees in the summer.

He WALKS by Mamaforhim Hey everyone!
Elijah walks...
well, he CAN walk... he's still crawling as his preferred method of transportation, but he's choosing to walk a bit more each day without coaxing!
I just put the January tape into our video recorder, so I will catch some footage and post it as soon as possible!
I have 13 movie tape things that go into the recorder and they are each labeled with a month of the year. At the end of the month, I dump those contents into imovie to be edited when I have time ( which I haven't had for 3 months!), rewind the (more)
Today, I took the time... by Megan Today was a great day for us. From the moment we woke up my boys were filled with anticipation for what would happen today. They've been looking forward to Grandpa and Grandma (Jeff's dad and step mom) coming to visit for quite a while. And today was the day!!!
One of our struggles lately has been getting the boys to pick up their toys and without complaining when they're done with them. We want them to understand that messes are fine...we don't mind them at all because we know they're having fun. But, messes do also need to be cleaned (more)
Happy New Year! by Lisa You are probably wondering what happened lol! No I didnt fall off the face of the earth, but the holiday season successfully sucked me in and held me hostage for a few weeks. We had a little school and finished up our Advent learning, though the 'lessons' became less and less formal as Christmas neared. So, I am sorry but I dont have much more to post for weeks 3 & 4 of Advent.
There are two books I want to recommend, though. I have always had a love for children's literature and it is so much fun to come across (more)
First Day After Break by MomOfFab4 Today was a great day! We got back into our routine after our Christmas Break and we all had a good time. We didn't have any meltdowns and everyone got their work done along with some fun.
I was beginning to worry that Legs was getting shortchanged and not getting enough mommy time all by herself. I offered an idea and she jumped on it. Now I am getting up at 6 to get my shower and do my hair before anyone else in the house gets up and Legs is setting her own alarm at 7. I will admit that (more)
Does a Humphrey Bogart Come with This? by Sagerats I thought this looked fun so, I did it. It was only 2 questions.
Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz...
You Are an Ingrid!
You are an Ingrid -- "I am unique" (it took a quiz to tell us that?)
Ingrids have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.
How to Get Along with Me

* Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself. (more)
Picture of the Day 5/365 by Jenne Today we started school again. Bookworm did fine. Misterman only cried one, when he forgot to read the instructions to a set of math problems and did them all incorrectly and had to redo them. Bunny cried about having to do things he didn't want to (his school work took 20 minutes WITH the crying!)
And then we went to Park Day. It was wet and cold and drizzly. The kids had fun. I got cold. The other Moms are fun to be around. I hope we make next week's Park Day too.

Friend of God - what am i doing? by mamazee I'm just thinking i could maybe explain what i am doing...
All of the sudden all these posts about being a friend of God.
One thing is that it's my word of the year, but another is that a friend wanted me to write down what i find this year as i seek God's definition of friendship - and i told her i would.
Unfortunately, i tend to scratch around and around and i know these posts are pretty wordy. But what i'm doing is using my prayer /Bible journal as a base - i'm actually leaving things out!
I'm posting each day a (more)
A friend of God January 2 09 by mamazee Zechariah 8:16
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gate.
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the Lord.
Zechariah 9:9
9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Zechariah 9:12
