  1. I didn’t read the article, but I do remember a while back reading what Paris Hilton endured at boarding school. She said this was the reason she didn’t want to experience childbirth.
  2. I adore them. My mother cannot keep a secret to save her life. If she doesn’t tell you before she gives you a present, she actually blurts out what it is as you are opening. I grew up with zero surprises, so I live for surprises. I live to surprise others too.
  3. I’m not a young mom, but a mom of a young baby. I do like these things if the yarn is soft. Some is so scratchy and I have sensory issues with itchy stuff. Mostly the toys though more than the blankets.
  4. Nope, but my 2nd son would have been if it was a leap year that year. lol He is glad to have a March 1 birthday.
  5. Does he like mini brands? My 11 and 12 year old sons do.
  6. I have 5 kids under 12, so I don’t question anything. My dh is always saying WTF? And I’m like why do you even act surprised. By anything.
  7. No, but honestly we’ve never been stroller people. I’ve always did baby wearing or carrying them or them waking or all 3. My 4th is almost 6 and she has hiked miles and miles and has been doing so since she was around 3. I can’t imagine a stroller at this age.
  8. I wonder if dreams and hormones are related because I NEVER dream unless I am first trimester pregnant.
  9. I’m so sorry. We are on the verge of teens and that has been hard enough.
  10. This. I feel for kids whose parents can’t/ don’t help their kids participate. I also just loathe doing personally.
  11. This time last year… I wouldn’t have pulled through without you all. I was SO stressed, but everything worked out perfectly. Thanks so much again for being so supportive.
  12. Turns 1 tomorrow!! How on earth is that possible? I feel like crying because it has gone so fast, but this is one of my favorite ages, so I’ve got that. Seriously though. I’m so emotional. I always want time to stand still. Here’s a cute pic of him checking out my dad’s car.
  13. Same here. My mom used to hear about everything, but the past few years I feel I tell her less and less.
  14. To this point, our school has been pretty laid back. I’m planning for my oldest child’s 8th grade year, and I’m thinking I need to start marking it a bit more rigorous. What do you think I should be sure to cover for my 8th grader?
  15. Yikes! So books have to go? I’m getting one of those mold tests that you send away and they identify the mold. Do you know what molds are dangerous? Black mold, yes? What else?
  16. That’s a great idea. I forgot apologia had middle school.
  17. Does anyone know what you need to do with the belongings in the room? Is there a way to clean them properly or what?
  18. Not not-enjoyable. Just more formal. My boys are using distance learning bju math and really enjoy it.
  19. For the younger years, we have pretty much did Apolgia textbooks as read alouds and did occasional experiments/projects. We have also spent time reading science books from the library and following their interests. We have kept it pretty casual. I am planning for next school year. My oldest will be an 8th grader next year. I have a bit of a plan for 9-12. I’m thinking I’ll go more traditional with BJU distance learning or something along those lines. I’m just torn on what to do for next year. I’m not wanting to start BJU as I’d like to keep it enjoyable for another year/less school-y. I’m just not sure that what I do with the young set would be enough for 8th grade. I’d like to hear what 8th grade science looks like at your house. I’m open to any suggestions.
  20. Could I pm you about this?
