Suga Mama on life with Chocolate Droplets

• Apr. 22, 2006 - Home school fair

Posted in Schooling with Sonlight

Today was the day I looked forward to as a home school mom for a whole year. The home school curriculum fair! The one day I get to be me around my people and let it all hang out! Here I can walk in with all four of my little people and not be stared at, but rather encouraged to carry on, multiply and prosper!

I planned the night before by making a list of all I wanted to get and compared prices and reviews. I scouted out the lay of the vending land and which favorite company is where. The diaper bag was packed and the car loaded up with the stroller. We were ready!

The only thing I didn't plan on was the rain. It poured cats and dogs and almost tempted me to stay home. But we perservered anyway and made it.

I headed straight to the Sonlight table where I met my anonymous friend. I met this friend 3 years ago at the fair, showcasing the curriculum of my dreams! I really don't remember what made us hit it off so well, but we did and last year I looked for her and she was there. I shared with her that I was expecting our fourth and she shared with me her soon arrival of her sixth! You know she was my girl after that! So this year, I couldn't wait to show off my baby and see hers. And she is no longer anonymous, i got her name and address to write.

Since I know you are all just dying to know what I purchased, here ya go:

Little Hands to Heaven a pre school Bible based program
Managers of Their Homes
Explode the Code 2
Wordly Wise 3000 A and B
A Day of Delight by Doorpost A giude to making Sunday the best day of the week
Before I was Born God's plan for sex
Proverbs Family Nights Tool Chest
Student plan book

There was so much more I could've bought, but I decided not to totally kill my budget.

It was just so good to be around like minded people. I feel refreshed and ready to plan for the next 8 weeks of school.

I really like the MOTH book for the most part. It's helped me tremendously as my younger ones come of age to be schooled. It's amazing how much time I had in the day that I just wasn't using wisely.

When you are done with the "Before I was born" book would you mind reviewing it? I've been looking at it for a while but haven't heard anyone I know talk about it.

Glad you had fun. I wish we lived in a state where children were a welcome addition to a home school curriculum fair. :-(
