I use butter, it works great.

I opened up Saxon Phonics, someone gave it to me for free, and then I closed it right back up. There were tapes, cards, workbooks, a huge teacher book like the math program etc. Way too much stuff for me. I felt like the lessons wanted us to do like 50 things each time.

You can roast beef or pork, like you normally would with the veggies and make mashed potatoes.
You can turn the leftovers into potato soup and the meat into tacos, bbq'd sandwiches. You could even just served pulled pork or beef, with bbq sauce with a side of veggies, fries (or mac and cheese) and corn bread-- this is common fare in restaurants that specialize in barbeque.

Joann, I make mine nearly the same way. :) Cool.

Is this sarcastic? I am asking isincerely.
Children never need a SPANKING but I agree that some children's behavior screams for discipline.
Slapping a human across the face is never acceptqble, particularly a minor one.
That is one opinion.
But I support a parent's right to discipline how they see fit. From harsh to hippie styles, it's really not up to me. I just think the "Nellie Olsens" of this world need a good swat on the rear but I could care less if they get what they deserve. Just don't ask me to baby sit!
Parents tend to overlook the faults of their own children because it reflects on them, even to the point of defending their children's bad behavior.

I've observed that the children who needed the spankings the most, were the ones that were never spanked.
I thank both of my parents for spanking me, I needed it and deserved it, every time. And when I got older and overstepped my boundaries, I am glad that my mother gave me a slap across the face to put me back in my place. Actually, she should have spanked us more, we never respected her when she didn't.

Wendi- here's mine.
We've had spanakopita on the brain, this Friday and last. We can't get enough of it. Tonight, we're having steak fajitas, and tomorrow, probably meatloaf.

You cook it with. If you don't care for too much heat, remember to seed your jalapenos.
I do mine in the oven on 300, for about 5-6 hours. Covered!

My plan is to use FLL, and then move on to VIE, the old edition, in third grade.

You would be able to tell we are Catholic. And if you know your saints, you'd be able to tell what "flavor" Catholic we are.
-
so sorry shell. If it makes you feel any better, people always cancel or decline our invitations too.
-
We're going to rent until we get more of our debt paid down. There's no way we could afford at the current prices, but they are cheaper in NH!
I'm so glad to know that I would not have to file until next year. I could definately do the CAT test!
I was feeling a little overwhelmed about it, but this clears up one roadblock.

Favorite Saints?
Who are yours?
Our family is devoted to St. Joseph (the worker). But my favorite saint is St. Philomena. I also really like St. John Vianney, St. Gerard, St. John Bosco, and St. Francis de Sales (hence my screen name).

We are kind of looking into whatever area we cane get the right sized house. I'm thinking probably one of the closer border towns off of 93, DH is going to keep his job in MA.
-
Pros, cons? Other thoughts.
We're considering re-locating to S. NH. The homeschooling scene and issues in the state are a factor influecing our decision.

The Story of a Soul- St. Therese of Liseuix
Introduction to the Devout Life- St. Francis de Sales
Divine Intimacy
Imitation of Christ -Kempis
Anything by St. Louis de Monfort or St. Alphonsus Ligouri

LG-- The best books that I know of, and wish I had not packed, is The Story of the Church. I believe that one could easily incorporate it with TWTM. You could either read each chapter yourself and break it down for your kids, I think you could read it aloud, but I don't remember if it would sound dry.
I read it in high school to give myself an overview of Church history. I think there may even be questions and activities, like timelines at the end of each chapter.

Was "be thankful for what you have" supposed to be "Thou shalt not Covet thy neighbor's goods"?
That is hysterical.
On another note, I recently bought the update version of Fr. Lovasik's Ten Commandments. Um, the Sixth and 9th Commandments are not appropriate, with the new editing, for my children to read. I'm going to either have to buy a different book or an older edition.
-
How wonderful. Wishing you another great 20 years and beyond!

I see it as an attempt at a rude comment that just doesn't work. I want my kids to belong to the Catholic Church, because in that way they will belong to God and hopefully save their souls.
Cathmom-
when I taught ccd, I threw out the weekly "Visions" magazine they gave us. I told the kids they could use it as TP, build a hat or whatever else because it wasn't Catholic.
We used the good old Baltimore Catechism and studied the foundation of the Church. Each one of those kids can still tell you where the Bible came from and what council detemined the canon of the books, as well as the year. These programs having no oversight works really well, in some cases :)

I don't like or support Target because I don't agree with their support of immoral (in my book) deeds and lifestyles. It is also a well-known meeting place for people who have adopted certain practices (which I am opposed to) to meet.
-
I just saw a new book that came out, at Costco. It was called something to the effect of "Martha Stewart's Cooking Classes" (I cannot remember the name).
But I did flip through the book and I think this would be useable as curriculum. If I remember correctly, it goes over how to make stock and basic things like that but that it also contains recipes that utilize those skills.
-
My husband's mom baked his "first communion" bread, nice huh? I always wondered what they did with the leftovers, he told me everyone in the class had their own loaf.
-
Oh Ps on the biscuits, Crissy, I followed one recipe and it only called for one egg, they seemed way too crumbly so I added another egg and they came out fine.
Am I being unreasonable?

I would be annoyed. But not everyone understands health and nutrition, with these things some people can't get over that they should not be fed to kids and some just don't believe there are side effects.
I cannot get my mother to stop buying those horrible fruit snack for my kids, no matter how many times I tell her.
