This is the last time I sell stuff through the local homeschool e-group. I posted something to the group last week and immediately got two responses. I promised it to the first caller and she said she would be over on Wednesday to pick it up but would call first. I didn’t hear from her […]

I used to do market research studies for Pampers quite often when Princess was a baby because it was a way to get free diapers plus $75-100 cash for an hour of my time. Not a bad deal for a stay at home Mom. One time I got $100 just for walking into […]

Until very recently, the Cincinnati library system had a horribly outdated web site. It was painfully slow and completely user unfriendly. In August they shut the system down for nearly two weeks to do a major upgrade. They did a great job. I get on the web site and reserve books three weeks in advance. […]

These are from Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful sunny 70 degrees. We got the dog tucked into her house for the winter. Not that she spends that much time outside but I like her to be warm and dry when we’re gone. I cleaned up the dead annuals in the front and hung clothes […]

Today we made a clay model of a flower. Chief formed the stem out of clay and added a few leaves. He cut the corolla (petals) out of construction paper and cut a hole in the center for the carpel to poke through. The Q-tips represent the stamen and anthers.

I stayed the same. I thought I was down a pound but our scales are a little off. I think I might try Flex this week. I’m getting a little bored with Core food. I also think I need a reality check on portion sizes. When I was doing points by myself, I had the […]

Last week KP found a mouse living in our grill. He […]

Lori’s family hosted a costume party today for I think eleven children. I’ll post pictures to the gallery later. I thought I got a picture of Lori’s girls together but apparently not. I’m sure Lori will have a few at her site.
We left the party and went to Saturday night Focus service at CCM. […]

Our assignment today in Apologia botany was to dissect a flower. We tried dissecting a rose from the grocery store but found we couldn’t identify the male and female parts. My friend Melissa is also doing Apologia botany with her kids and is a little ahead of us so they had already done this […]
