2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT
Besides the Bible, I think it would be my Sonlight schedules.  I love the ease with which I can make my weekly schedules.

3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT

A homeschooling PE course that was completely useless that I got through Sonlight.

4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR

100 Easy Lessons, First Language Lessons, All of 1dd8's readers...

5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING THIS YEAR

Ambleside Online for Supplementary resources, Handbook of Nature by Comstock, and Burgess Bird Book.

6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY
Eventually we'd like to do the Prairie Primer and/or Higher Up and Further In, but not this year.  I'd also like some other Charlotte Mason helps - I can't think of their names off the top of my mind.

7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED
More free online how-tos for lapbooks - one that get more specific and has lots of free printouts!

8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING

As you can see, I have a hard time choosing one of any of these catagories.  I love my Sonlight catalogues, also Rainbow Resources and the Ambleside Website.

9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY

homeschoolblogger and Ambleside and Sonlight

Sep. 2, 2006 - the same answer

Posted by javamamma

Is your answer to number 1 really the same as mine? Or did you forget to answer?

Sep. 2, 2006 - Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I had changed it and then accidentally erased the first two questions while trying to change the coloring of the words. I guess when I replaced the beginning, I forgot to change my answer! It is fixed now. Yes, I still homeschool and the answer isn't the same as yours!

Sep. 3, 2006 - saying Hi back!

Posted by missionarymama

Thanks for the comment. Things are either super busy or not at all around here so I don't always get to the blog like I want.
I have heard of YWAM, sounds like a great ministry. We are with Pioneers and are working closely with SIL missionaries who are in the last few years of translating the Bible in the dialect of quechua we are working in. We hope to use the translation after we learn to speak the langugage well for teaching.
How fun that you are having your first boy! We don't know if we are having a boy or girl...this will be a surprise this time! :) You mentioned going to a midwife, will you have a homebirth? We are having a home birth this time. Can't wait!
I also put you on my friends list. I actually meant to have my web address say "Ad-Lib" and it used my user name instead. But that may be better since it will find the other missionary Moms out there. :) I am always trying to connect with other Missionary Homeschooling Moms especially since there are none here where we live. I have to find my moral support and encouragement in the area of homeschooling as a missionary mom from other places. Some of my family homeschool too so it's a lot of emailing and blog reading and chatting in forums in my "down time". :) Glad to find you!
see you around. Libby

Sep. 9, 2006 - Midwives, Meme and New Mexico

Posted by javamom

Hi, Carol! Congrats on your first boy!! We had midwives with all four of our dc, but one was a transport to hospital b/c he became breech. He was still born ******lly, quite by accident, though! No complications and we were able to go home the same day. I liked my midwives so much, and would not exchange my birth experiences for any other story because of them.

Good answers on the Meme. Not that there are any wrong answers, LOL.

Interesting thought, though. One reason there are probably not more free instructions and resources for lapbooking is so that money can be made through the information. Not that I'm against that at all. But it would be one reason why it's now available.

You asked if I got go to NM with Hubby...It's a Hubs/Dads only trip. The families got to go to NM together last year...before the traditional chile men trip. No, that is special time reserved for these old friends and accountability partners. And I encourage it. They have been friends for a long time, but most of us are at different churches, now. This is one special way to stay connected.

We also take other camping trips with most of these families every couple of years.
