Adding Scrapbook Pages To Our Lapbooks by jaminacema Sometimes when we are doing a study that includes a lapbook we have a lot of other projects/experiences that aren't flat and or small enough to fit in our lapbook. In a couple of our lapbooks we have included scrapbook pages with pictures of the things we have done. One example of this was the American Girl Lapbook my daughter did for Felicity. After we ended up going to Colonial Willamsburg we decided to add pictures from our trip. For this we printed pictures from my Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook program and then put them in 8 1/2'X11' page protectors. On the... (more)

Workboxing by Sarah I've been doing it without knowing what it was but with the actual system you actually do more than what I've done. Currently I'm using the expandable file folders, which is nice but doesn't hold much more than papers and with the workbox system I'd actually be putting all the supples that would be needed for that subject. To see more about workboxing, visit Sue Patrick's Workbox System. I have been told that tweaking is supposed to be a no-no but I am a tweaker - I tweak almost every curriculum I use, even math.

Feeling the Fog by KassyL I'm really having a hard time lately. I feel the fog coming on. That's the only way to describe the feeling of depression as it slowly envelopes me. I can't find the motivation to write right now especially when I am overwhelmed with feelings of fear, anger, sadness, etc. when I do write. Our financial situation is causing a lot of stress right now and I think that has me down.

On Turning Five... by Michelle The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Proverbs 1:7 Bop woke up on her birthday, hopping up an Daddy in bed, excitedly calling out the news. It was her birthday! She had been waiting for weeks, and finally she was five. Suddenly, she stopped short. "Daddy? If I'm five, how come I can still wear my four-year-old clothes?" We had a great day. After Church we went to an "esteraunt" to celebrate, and then it was the long wait until suppertime and her party. Bop kept asking "when will our guests arrive?" I guess you can use those big words when you're... (more)
Another fun day with friends.... by Megan We went up to the Cedar River Watershed Education Center a few weeks ago with some friends....one of our favorite places to visit because it's also by Rattlesnake Lake. We spend lots of time there. Jennifer and one of her sweet daughters, R, met us up there to play. It was a great day....a little cold and VERY windy by the lake...but fun! R and O under one of the many old tree stumps along the shore. Can you tell they're FREEZING??? O took this one. I love this picture of Jennifer and R. Pretty in Pink! Inside the Education Center...C is sending... (more)
At Least Nobody Was Looking by Joesette I believe I've mentioned the snow and ice that has pounded us this winter, have I not? You may even be getting tired of hearing about it, so here is a bit of comic relief for you. Our driveway is very steep, but its old and rough and I put enough rock salt down to keep it from being slick. Our neighbor is a widow in her mid to late 70's. Her driveway is steep, and was refinished this past summer and is slick as snot. I typically try to keep our neighbors driveway shoveled, salted etc. for her to keep her... (more)

Some of our School Time Fun by Megan We've been enjoying some fun activities in our school time. Now that C is maturing and his attention span is increasing....he LOVES to color, cut and glue!!! Recently we were reading about and studying Noah's Ark. We're also working on story sequencing with C. This was his very first actual "school work". He worked very hard to cut these pictures out, put them in order and glue them to the paper. All of that practice with scissors and just pouring glue to pour glue has finally paid off. Ohhhhhh.....this is what you do with glue. I can't tell you how... (more)

Our dog, Baron by Megan Back in September 09, our dog, Baron, went to be with God. Baron was a great dog and part of our family since he was a puppy. We enjoyed him for 9 years. As we've explained it to the boys, they understand that God is now taking care of him and he is no longer in pain from the growth in his neck that made it so hard for him to breathe. He is the first experience they've had with death and it's spurred on many conversations since. O and C keep a photo album of pictures they can look... (more)
Watching Icicles Grow by Michelle The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Proverbs 1:7 We have been very laid-back and almost lazy with our learning the past few weeks. The ground has been covered with snow most of the time (which is uncommen here) and it puts me in the mood to snuggle up with a blanket and a good book. I have been struggling to do what I had planned to do, but finally I have given up and we are floating where life takes us. We have been reading a lot, snuggled together on the couch. I found out we have... (more)

Vancouver Olympics-schooling while watching the Winter Olympics by momtotheincredibles I don't know about your children, but mine will sit glued for the next several weeks to as many Winter Olympic events as they can see. Or as I will let them. Seize the "Teachable Moment" and get in some learning along with the fun. They will hardly know they are doing schoolwork!

Second Post (Interesting...) by Eliza So, I went on here again, and what do you know! I remembered I had a blog. Interesting. Okay, I thought I would make a post on my favorite bands. Notice the irony that none of them are death metal. I use to only listen to death metal, but for now I really enjoy these bands: Korn, Anti-Flag, Nations Afire, Alkaline Trio, Anberlin, Crime in Stereo, Rise Against and 30 Seconds to Mars. Yes, I like Indie, Alternative, Rock and any combination of those three. Most of those bands are full of vegans or vegetarians, actually. Interesting. So it goes. ... (more)
A Different Kind of Co-op by Sunny As I promised yesterday, I'm going to share a little bit about our "different kind of co-op" which is entering its 12th semester of existence as of last week. At the time we were planning our FIRST semester of this co-op, we really didn't know what it would look like, but we knew some of the things that we wanted - - - families fully involved in the experience, moms as teachers, minimal cost, and something where every member of the family could come and be blessed. We also knew some of the things that we didn't want - - -... (more)
Road Trip Highlights: Mission Connexion Northwest (Day 2) by Rocky Mountain Mama The next day was filled with three more plenary sessions and three break-out sessions. One remarkable plenary speaker was Richard Twiss, a member of the Rosebud Lakota/Sioux Tribe of Native Americans and founder of Wiconi International. He spoke of the ministry of reconciliation he has among Native American and indigenous peoples. He brought with him members of his church who performed a worship dance in Native American costumes up on the stage. The dance was set to a worship song based on Isaiah 40:31 using Native American instruments and musical style. They encouraged audience members to get up and join them,... (more)
Surely the Weatherman Jests... by Laurie Last Friday/Saturday we got our third snow storm in a week. This one was predicted to surpass the Christmas snow of 19" and dump 20-30" in our area. Many places in Northern Virginia did indeed receive 30+" of snow. DC snowfall made the #4 spot in the historic snowfall list, missing the top spot by only an inch or so. Residents have lost power. Roofs have collapsed. Thankfully we received a mere 20". Now the weatherman predicts more...and it indeed has begun to snow at 5pm. Really, now. We shouldn't get piggish with all this snow. We should share with those... (more)

Road Trip Highlights: Mission Connexion Northwest (Day 1) by Rocky Mountain Mama From Portland we made our way to Vancouver, Washington to attend a huge inter-denominational, inter-agency missions conference called Mission Connexion, Northwest . This was a wonderful soul-feeding and brain-feeding time. The theme was "Reconciling Nations". The emphasis throughout the conference was on the ministry of reconciliation given by Christ to us as believers. The first plenary speaker was Joseph D’Souza, president of OM India and founder of The Dalit Freedom Network. His ministry is to the Dalit people of India. The Dalits are the lowest social strata in India – the untouchables. They are considered the very worst of sinners. They are so dejected... (more)
Laundry--Add water and watch it grow!! by Donna What is up with laundry? It is the one thing I seem to never be on top of. I have totally lost count of how many loads I have completed today--and that means wash, dry fold AND put away--and it still is not complete!!! The one thing that has made the laundry load higher than usual is the fact we actually have snow here in TN. I know you are probably wondering why that would cause laundry. Well let me tell ya--it snows so little here in TN that we don't have the appropriate clothing. So going to play in snow... (more)
Ethiopia History Month: Week 2 by Cappuccinosmom We've started Week 2 of our study of Ethiopia. I've had to adjust my expectations a little. I found that we needed more time learning the letters, so we are carrying over the ones we started learning last week, about 10. Since this week has a focus on history and culture, I did a bit of research and found out that Ethiopian history is rather longer than American history. Of course, I already knew that but I didn't realize what a huge task it is to teach thousands of years worth of history. So the kids are getting a seriously condensed... (more)
Hair tutorial by Old Fashioned Girls This tutorial is from Rapunzel's Resource This technique is a no heat, no product way to get wavy hair. It’s very easy to change the look by doing more or fewer sections. One big section produces a very loose wave, and five sections makes an ultra-wavy/curly look. You will need to wash your bandanas before using them to make them softer and roll/fold them like a sausage, not point-to-point. I did these waves in the evening and let them dry over night. 1.

The last word on the Tim Tebow ad flap...maybe by Wayne In an item headlined, "After weeks of furor, public sees Tebow ad," Allie Martin of OneNewsNow said on 2/8/2010 that viewers primed for controversy over a Christian ministry's Super Bowl ad featuring football star Tim Tebow might be asking, "Is that all there is?" Focus on the Family revealed beforehand that the ad would feature Tebow and his mother, Pam, who gave birth to him in 1987 after rejecting a doctor's advice to have an abortion for medical reasons. But if abortion rights groups hadn't protested, you might never have known what the ad was about. The closest it comes to mentioning abortion... (more)

S. Senators here in Illinois, Dickie Durbin and "Rollin' with Blago" Burris, who supported the law) that this would never happen, that there were guarantees to protect the free speech of people who oppose homosexuality.

"The Congregation of the Peoples" by defenderoftruth "THE CONGREGATION OF THE PEOPLES" By Wayne S. Walker "So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; for their sakes, therefore, return on high" (Psalm 7:7). In our language the word "congregation" is used almost exclusively in a religious sense, although we sometimes use the verb form more generally, saying that people "congregate" for different purposes. The dictionary defines the word as "a gathering of people or things, assemblage," especially, "an assembly of people for religious worship" or "the members of a particular place of worship." It comes from a Latin word made up of the prefix com or con... (more)
