    ~ Show and Tell Friday~ British Columbia Homeschool Confrence ~

    It's that time again...
    Hi all !  I actually got some computer time !  So I get to post Show and Tell.
    I am not at my own computer so I will Show and Tell one of the books ( and a smidge more)  of what I bought at the BC Homeschool confrence.
    I was trying to remember if I prayed before I went into the hs bookfair.  I must have because I  felt very directed in my purchases that week end.  What I had planned to buy and what I did buy wasn't totally the same. 
    One book that was on Sandpiper's  ( I got to stay at her house this last week end.  I was sooooooooooo blessed.  I just love her and her family.)  bookshelf that I was sooooooooo drawn to and read half of in one eve and then had to buy it the next day was
    I have really been wanting to get some material on how to teach a right brained child but didn't expect it to be at this fair but towards the end  Sandpiper asked if I had seen the books on teaching the right brianed child at the Konos booth.  ( had really been TRYING to put blinders on but this was a God thing to have layed before me)  I will share more as I read and start applying this material.
    Well this became more of a  "Tell" only because I can't download my pics.  So I gave links instead.  If you are intrested in the Right Brained Child material.  I will be posting about it more with links later.  I am living out of suitcases and bags and I am not sure where it is. lol 
    Blessings and (((HUGS)))
    Please make sure you visit the other gals S&T's b/c I am at the home and have limited computer time.

    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    Sounds like you had a wonderful stay with Sandpiper and fun at the convention! I soooo wanted to go :) I'm reading the Terri Maxwell book that you mentioned right now to and loving it. I love all of the scripture she applies throughout it and it all just seems to make such perfect sense! Sorry I've been so absent lately :( Hope to get around to everyone a bit more soon.
    Have a blessed evening,

    That sounds like a good book - thank you for sharing it. I am going to look into it.
    Right brained child? Hmmm... that sounds really interesting. I am looking forward to what you learn about this.

    Sounds like you had a wonderful time! I missed mine this year... boo hoo. Have you seen the book (course?) Drawing from the Right side of the Brain? I've seen art work that comes from it, and it's pretty awesome.
