What to Do With the Homeschooling Blues?

5:50 PM - Nov. 2, 2007 - Wild Thoughts {3} - Add to the Wildness

I've been working on a redo of our unschooling pages. Here's a sample. Most link lists are merely ideas of content I'd like to include--things like the videos I've been assembling from our travel footage, that cool bumblebee mating clip, sailing stuff.

Since Banana Brain and I are also doing NaNoWriMo together, I think it would also be cool to add some Flash books, like the chapter samples you can read on Amazon. Only the whole thing, since it's all just for fun anyway.

I'd like the site to be a place of refuge for homeschoolers in need of quick ideas, safe, educational stuff for their kids to explore, and inspiration for family-centred activities. Only, more of a personal thing from my family to yours. Basically, the kind of site I'd like to have on hand on days when the homeschooling blues are sabotaging our progress.

Does the World Need Another Homeschooling Website?

4:50 PM - Nov. 1, 2007 - Wild Thoughts {0} - Add to the Wildness

Okay, so I've completely neglected this blog for months. Lately, I usually post our homeschooling notes over at the website's homeschooling blog. However, much of our website isn't really up to date.

We've quit market gardening, and we've quit honeybees. I've considered shutting the site down altogether. The one thing that keeps me from that is, I'd like to change it up in favour of homeschooling content. I could just blog stuff, but I was thinking of doing some permanent pages with our cross-Canada trip. Also, Banana Brain and I are doing National Novel Writing Month together this year. (She's doing the Young Writers' Program.) It might be nice to have a story gallery or something. And I'd keep some of the gardening and honeybee stuff, for sure. The kids definitely learned from it.

I dunno. Is it worth the work, when there are so many other, better homeschooling sites out there?

Calling All Lovers of Goofballdom

11:05 PM - Sep. 12, 2007 - Wild Thoughts {0} - Add to the Wildness

So, why is the Great Goofy Interview Contest accepting entries in return for posting a line or two about it?

Uh, well. You see, I'm going to be unavoidably internetless for about 3 weeks, starting on Friday, so this is probably the last chance I'm going to get to mention it. I'll be back just a week before the closing date to collect up entries.

Ergo, I could really use some help mentioning it. I promise you, when I come back, it will be with pictures that will make it all worthwhile.

So, if you like, just drop a line at the end of the post you were already writing that says something like: "Check out this contest here." (Link to http://www.homesteadblogger.com/LazyCreekHoneyFarm/68704/). Then leave me a quick comment on the contest post, and presto, you're entered.

The whole thing is totally goofy. The interview, the half-baked "let's have a contest" thing that popped into my head.... That's my life.
