Wow! this place moves QUICKLY!! :) I'd love to just hear a rundown of all your subjects and a basic routine with them... I'm wanting to add in a new foreign language, in addition to the Latin we did last year...and am not sure about that. I'm also adding in a regular science course and possibly SOTW. Still trying to figure out how to add it all in there...

a khaki color would look great! (probably the same thing as the taupe or light cocoa color, just not good with paint color words.) :)

Hello everyone, I've only been a recent lurker here...and am still not sure I totally "belong." HA! I'm pretty relaxed, we've loved our years with FIAR (and will still use with my K'er) but we are using a few "classical" items last year and this year, so I thought I would browse the boards a bit here too. :) I did a quick search and am sure I am missing it...but can anyone point out any threads where people share their daily school schedules? I am mostly looking for how to add in more subjects...as my girls are getting older and the best way to go about it. P.S. (do you have to have so many posts for your signature to show up, I'm not sure why mine isn't posting? Thanks!) HA, it showed up this time, nevermind!! :) Thank you! :)

I have only recently started lurking here...and I think this is my first post...but anyway. :) I am on an anti-depressant. I have tried most of the things you've suggested too...what are the natural antidepressants that you mentioned? I tried St. John's Wort, evening primrose, 5-HTP, and one other thing I can't remember. I was desperate, my depression was getting worse and definitely affecting our lives. So, the antidepressant has been a life saver for me!! For me, I knew that when I could not handle my own family and household, when I was falling apart on a regular basis, and it was affecting my children that I had to do *something.* It definitely is a very personal thing as well as a hard decision to make. :grouphug: The one other thing that worked for me for awhile was going off sugar...since you already eat pretty healthy, you may already do it...just thought i'd throw that out there. I'm so sorry you are struggling...depression is a very hard place to be. I write about it a lot on my blog if you're interested. :)
