    I'm using the older MUS curriculum (Foundations of math) and the old skip counting cassette tape that came along with it. I'm realizing now that the seven's song is mostly erased (must have been my two year old!). Anyhow, is the CD exactly the same as the cassette tape? Now that we've learned most of them, I don't want to buy a CD full of different songs. We just need to learn the 7 song yet- it's the last one for us to do. I'll order it if the songs are the same, otherwise I'll be hunting down the cassette tape second hand. The cassette tape's songs are about Jesus sending soldiers out 2 by 2, Daniel's 3 friends who would not compromise, Zacheus giving the sum times 4, "Nine"vah for the nines, etc.... Thanks in advance!

    I debated the same two. What it came down for me in the end was I found Spelling Power second hand for cheap. I was kind of relieved to not have all the AAS tiles... I knew my dd2 would have them all over the house in no time. What I like about Spelling Power is that it's super quick to use. 15 minutes a day. I wouldn't worry about your dd's spelling so much yet. She's so young like my daughter. Apparently, we're not supposed to even be starting spelling lessons yet. I don't even do the Spelling Power everyday and I don't even do the full 15 min. I started early with her just to get her "thinking" about spelling when she writes. It worked! I noticed that she's paying more attention to how she spells words since we started the program. :auto:

    Math u see is all about building a foundation for life. 8 Lessons is still 8 lessons of mastered, solid math. No big deal that she's not flying through the book. What's great about homeschooling is that the we can cater to the student's needs. If it takes a whole year to do 8 lessons, no big deal! Once he masters this, there will be lessons in the future that he'll go through more quickly. It'll all even out. Tell her to hang in there. Maybe he can do some Life of Fred math for a break.

    I love the looks of this one from Living Books... it's been on my wish list for quite a long time now: Aesop's Fables

    Thanks so much, I'll check out the link. I have no idea what grade level she is technically at for reading. I just know that if she's reading on her own, it has to be simple for her to understand since I'm not there to help with the big words.

    I have the same problem with our down comforter. It is way to warm! I now just wear regular pj bottoms with a t-shirt and only a sheet over me so that I don't sweat.

    My 7 year old daughter just finished her veggie tales devotional book. It was very simply written so she was able to read them on her own. She is just starting to read fluently so anything that she reads independently has to be very, very simple. I wondered if anyone might have a suggestion as to what might be a good devotional book that I can buy for her now. Something very short and simple to read (like grade one level) and meaningful? Thanks!

    You are so sweet. Thank you for your message. I couldn't think of cancelling when I know you were looking forward to using it with out dc and I already committed. Besides, it was my mistake. You have been so gracious and sweet and that in itself made it worth it.

    Blessings,

    Just wanted to say thank you again for the transaction. I'm sorry that the shipping cost you much more than you expected when shipping to Canada. In that situation, I think that most people (myself included) would have cancelled the deal and refunded. By following through and still sending me the books and losing out yourself, you've shown true character and integrity. I'm thrilled to start using the books with my little girl, they're a blessing to me. Thank you so much Lisa.

    We love Little House too!!! Not sure which study guide you want to know about? There seems to be an abundance of study guides. We just bought the Prairie Primer from the WTM sale board, can't wait to pick it up from the post office! I was browsing through my SIL's Primer today, it looks so good! There seems to be an abundance of Little House activities that are free on the internet. Here's one for example: http://www.squidoo.com/littlehouseunitstudy I think Little House is going to keep us busy for years!!

    Are you drinking enough water? I read somewhere that most headaches are caused by dehydration. Gotta drink tons more water if you drink coffee.
