I am in Waddell, AZ (NW, between Litchfield Park and Surprise) Anyone in that area? :) We are always looking for new HS friends. I have one 100% HS-er and one AS-er...in charter K right now. Thanks!

Hi, I have one 100% home school child and one after school child. My HS child is 9 and has a ton of chores, my AS child is almost 6. She does the following: make her bed take care of her own laundry (dirty in the hamper, take the laundry room on Friday, and put away on Sunday) She feeds her dog before school. She sets the table for dinner She empties the dishwasher if it is full and she is finished with her home work from PS. She is responsible for her own room and vacuums it too. HTH :)

I forgot...we also had our food allergies tested with this: http://www.allergytx.com/home.html It says site is down right now? Weird...anyways our Dr has info on her website too.... http://thenaturopathicphysician.com/ Maybe that would help?

Hi, We have food allergies through out our house. My youngest has the most severe of everyone. What have to had you go down to eating? We have found the http://www.pecanbread.com has a great diet for clearing you down to basics and working up from there. We did it with our youngest when he was 14months old. We have our youngest on a no gluten/wheat, dairy, rice, berries, soy, corn and peanut diet. Everyone else but hubby is on a low gluten/wheat to none and dairy free diet. Good luck I don't mind questions or whines!

Thank you for your replies! Hopefully I will get the hang of this forum quickly :)

Is there a how to area? :) We are in our 4th grade year. Used Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading...and the first First Language Lessons. But then I switched to Abeka. I didn't know there was a 3 and 4 book for F.L.L. Tips and advice on how to switch back and general thoughts appreicated! We are in 4th grade Abeka. Only about an 1/8 of the way into it. We tried Easy Grammar Solutions last year. Didn't like that either. Thanks!
