I am a young earth creationist. To me, it’s just taking every piece and part of the Bible at face value. If I start picking apart one section, what would stop me from picking apart other sections? It’s totally a faith thing for me. I know that’s not the popular belief, but I’ve never cared about being popular anyway. 😀

I have a rising senior who was in public school for three years, and she is going to be homeschooled this coming year for her senior year. School House Teachers is a website that has tons of courses for high school! Most are interactive, with videos and links, and some are not - just print and go. My daughter is taking a Babylonian History course, Fashions through History (just for fun), and some electives. We haven’t decided on science, but they have so many options. There’s a yearly membership of around $200, but it literally can cover every subject! Here is the link https://schoolhouseteachers.com/dap/a/?a=93110

I live in Louisiana. My kids rec baseball league canceled for the summer, and offered us a prorated refund of HALF the registration fee.

Yes it does! It is a great stroller, too. Very easy to push and turn. https://www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/chicco-viaro-reg-travel-system/5206497?keyword=chicco-keyfit-30-stroller-car-seat-combo this is the one I got but in gray. I love it!

I got this car seat and the marching stroller for my last baby. It is a great car seat and he used it until he was 11 months old. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/3497652971263399480?q=chicco+keyfit+30&client=safari&hl=en-us&biw=414&bih=622&tbs=cat:547,pdtr0:705038|720850,vw:l,init_ar:SgeyBAQIsqkg,ss:115&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk03nngbmvDqoBd2QrZI_uEmUSfXkYA:1590234657040&prds=epd:8699686450520361620,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1 I bought him this Maxi Cosi Pria 85 car seat and it’s very comfortable for him, and he will not need another one. He is 18 months old now. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/17345019596757165178?q=maxi+cosi+pria+85&client=safari&hl=en-us&biw=414&bih=622&tbs=cat:547,pdtr0:705038|1751556,vw:l,init_ar:SgeyBAQIsqkg,ss:44&prmd=svin&sxsrf=ALeKk01VHF5RPpxzd-TCTP7J_nXwygRUqw:1590234783946&prds=epd:6198740329506286830,cdl:1,prmr:1,cs:1

Names my husband vetoed: Maggie Jo Zoe Kerigan Zion (for a boy)

My grandmother's name was Lucille, and if I have another girl she may have Lucille as a middle name.

I actually had great results selling my Rod and Staff books. I took a lot of pictures of the inside pages and outsides. I set a Buy it Now price for usually about half of what it is new, with free shipping, and sold every single item I listed. When I buy curriculum on eBay, I look for listings with lots of pictures, especially of inside pages and table of contents. I also look for Buy it Now prices with free shipping. It's simpler that way. I don't like waiting for an auction to end (although I have done it before) and I don't like calculated shipping costs.

For my three kids that are IN a B and M school, I have found that they don't have much time for friends during the school day. In fact, my 15 year old daughter was just complaining to me that she doesn't have enough enough time with her friends at school. I homeschool my 8 and 6 year old boys. They play with each other really well. We don't schedule play dates with other kids. They see friends at church and they have cousins they see once a week or so. My older kids play sports, so they play with other kids when we have games and stuff. I am not worried about my 8 and 6 year old boys having "friends" right now. They have each other, their older siblings, their dad and I and various cousins. They are perfectly happy.

I started yesterday with my 3rd and 1st graders. We had a doctor's appointment in the morning, and we all three have bronchitis - plus my 3rd grader has an ear infection! We came back home and finished school. Other than losing my voice, it went well. I'm very discouraged with my 1st graders handwriting and really wanting to work with him more on it. We love Saxon math so far!

I'm April. Two sons are June, one July. One daughter February, one November. Baby boy due December 1. Hubby October.

I guess they thought she was just nervous! My mom took her to the doctor that day as I was taking my younger son to the dentist at the same time... She tried to explain it to the nurses, and they said "Oh, honey, you will be just fine!" Now, when we go they know to have her lie down for any needlework.

Rod and Staff English - I always come back to it. It is so thorough and my older kids (in public school now) are so far ahead of their classmates in grammar and writing. MFW K and 1st - love these programs. K was so much fun!

My daughter has this. She fainted after having her ears pierced. She faints while throwing up sometimes. She has to lie down to have blood drawn or shots and stay down for a few minutes afterwards. She fainted after having blood work and after telling the nurses she would faint! They didn't believe her! Now they do.

Siblings supervised. Cousins, friends kids...no.
