Whew, what a relief!

Posted in Fun

Well, I guess the faculty of Alamogordo Senior High School did a fairly good job...yeah, right! Most of what I learned I learned after I started homeschooling my wee chicks!!
To see how you fare...take this test:

You paid attention during 100% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?
Create a Quiz

OK--I 'fess up-- so I took it twice...never said I wasn't a perfectionist!!!

Living books for the ears

Posted in Fun

Are you looking for some good, clean fun? Do you want to experience what our grandparents and great-grandparents experienced long before the advent of T.V.? Would you like to see your children spell-bound by a story being read to them over lunch by someone other than you (hey, even us moms need to eat sometime)? If you can answer "YES" to even one of these questions then have I got a website for you! It is Homeschool Radio Shows. It is a delightful program put on by the Erksine family. They rebroadcast old time radio shows that can be listened to on your computer. Check out their site and be sure to sign-up for their FREE e-mail links to some wonderful entertainemnt that's good for the whole family!

About Me

Just the simple thoughts on life, children, books, nature, and God (to name a few) of an imperfect Christian momma as she ventures forth in search of the Sweet Life...

Words to Ponder

The morning wind forever blows; the poem of the world is uninterrupted, but few are the ears that hear it. ~Thoreau

The writer studies literature not the world...He is careful what he reads, for that is what he will write. ~Annie Dillard

About our homeschool

First and foremost we strive to instill in our children a deep and abiding love of God and a saving faith in Christ Jesus. And toward that end we use a mixture of the Classical Christian and Charlotte Mason approaches to homeschooling. We place a high level of importance upon reading the bible and good literature, keeping away from twaddle as much as possible! We study Latin and Poetry, Shakespeare and Geography, Writing and Math and Science, too! We try to incorporate Nature Studies as much as time and Babycakes will allow. And we study history in a 4-year cycle, repeating each time period (Ancients, Middle ages/Renaissance & Reformation, Colonial/Early American History, Modern) 3 times over the course of 12 years. We try to allow our children the time to really explore what interests them and time to just be kids.
