Homeschooling Is Life! - The Homeschooling Banquet Table

• Aug. 15, 2005 - The Homeschooling Banquet Table

I found this on DonnaBooshay's blog and thought it sounded like a fun one to answer:

The Friday Feast with a few minor adjustments.

Appetizer
Briefly describe your schooling style. I like to call it "Delight Directed, unschoolish, spur of the moment, Firstborn Daughter is a natural teacher thank goodness cuz I ain't" kind of homeschooling. Or in otherwords, Homeschooling Is Life!

Soup
List 3 things you'd like to accomplish before the end of 2005. Hmmmm...I would like to have a clean, organized house. I would like to start writing a book. I would like to make curtains for my bedroom.

Salad
When you're online, what do you spend the most time reading/playing/doing? Suggest a site for us to visit. When I am online, I am either working, answering email, reading blogs and commenting, searching for homeschool "stuff" or blogging myself. I also answer a lot of homeschooling questions that come over from our support group. Please visit my favorite chocolate store---listed in my links--then have them send some my way!

Main Course
What would the title of your autobiography be? "All The Good One's Are Taken."

Dessert
Do you eat meals at regular times? Do you/did you/will you eat meals as a family? The kids and I graze a lot during the day, unless they feel like cooking! If we are going somewhere we take a picnic lunch. We always have dinner together with Daddy, even the kids cook at times. Dad cooks more than he should have to because I am a reluctant chef. Dad always does wonderful breakfasts and stuff on the weekends. He is such a sweetie!!

This was a really fun one! I guess there is another (yes, another) tag going around about what books are we currently reading.

Mine are: Go Dog Go (the ending is my favorite!)

Danny and the Dinosaur (I think we need an updated creationist version of this one)

Amelia Bedelia Play Ball! (I have begun to act more like her every day. She is my new role model)

Hank the CowDog. (I am learning a LOT of new words from the Hank series)

and.....

The Foot Book (this explains why I wear two different shoes somedays.)

Happy Homeschooling!

Nancy

• Aug. 18, 2005 - 5 Books - - -

Posted by MaggieHogan

I think I said 5 Books YOU are reading that are NOT homeschool related - I am hoping the ones you chose were actually hs related and not books you chose for your own pleasure reading LOL! But then again, I have a soft spot for Roxaboxen . . . Sheep in a Jeep . . . and Jamberry!
Blessings,
Maggie

And I guess I fell flat, trying to be humorous :) But Roxaboxen and Sheep in a Jeep are two of my favorites also!!! I will try to come up with something---although even if I said I was reading the Chilton Manual for 1986 Ford Vans, wouldn't that count as homeschool material???

And EJ---I do have some reservations about Hank---my kids love him, but that is one of those "well, I am not really sure about some of Hank's vocabulary, children." I have also enjoyed the Bunnicula stories, but my kids haven't discovered those yet....shhhhhh!

About Me

Hi There!

Welcome to my blog.
How nice of you to drop in. What is this all about you say? Well, take a look and see.

Just like the plants springing forth we are following the Son, soaking up the living water and pulling the weeds. We can't wait to see what will bloom THIS growing season!

Oh, and just for fun, I will tell you a little about me, since that is what this space is for. :)

I am a mother of four lovely kids who are perfectly human in every way. They are sinful, selfish, loving, happy, grumpy, excited, capable, frustratable, (I know, that isn't a word but sometimes I make up my own) and sometimes contrite, and just like their parents. But they are ours and we think they are all keepers!

We have homeschooled them all since birth with the trial and error method. I think they all have "made the grade" and they are now 16, 13, 11 and 9 years old.

We're not experts, except in the area of making mistakes and living to tell about them and hopefully learn from them! We hope you will find some encouragement here as you read about the seasons of our life as a homeschooling family.
