  • One more in the "I love tutorials" pile: at Isaac's homeschool tutorial place thingie (I don't even know what to call it), they were studying pioneer America. So they made quilt squares. Cute, no? They glued fabric…

  • History class yesterday consisted of Isaac putting together a model of Leonardo da Vinci's flying machine. He is very proud of it, although it doesn't actually fly. Nor, of course, did da Vinci's, so I tried to convi…

  • I have removed Church History in Plain Language from the Family Read-Alouds In Progress sidebar. I am doing this for one simple reason: we're giving it up. Although it is a good book, and would be a great choice for a…

  • This was a fun find at the library this week. It's a picture book with fold-out pages showing different garden fruits and veggies (peas, raspberries, etc.) and their development from flowers. I thought it was interest…

  • Just finished reading this as our family read-aloud. It was so enjoyable that we read it in less than a week--which is why it hasn't yet made it onto my sidebar under "Family Read-Alouds in Progress." Now, it never sha…

  • Well, we've had a rocky start to our all-new soup-themed cooking lessons. Our first soup was made with overly salty ham broth. Our second soup (chicken noodle soup, with mostly chicken broth and only some noodles) was…
