Congratulations on your little girl!

[A new squish for the Hive Aunties]

So sweet! Congratulations!!

[What baby stuff do I “need�?]

#5 is due soon, and we have the essentials. I’m trying to think of anything new that might be helpful. Any recommendations? Thanks!

[S/O - what was the first thing you ever bought on Amazon?]

1998 - I was in college majoring in English, and I bought a bunch of novels I needed for my classes. :-)

[What is your middle school child doing for science?]

My 6th grader is using Holt Science & Technology - Life

[What age/grade is your girl born in the summer?]

My 10yo girl has an early August birthday and started K at 5. She was very ready for K, but the state where we lived had a cutoff of July 31 -- no exceptions. This was one of the main reasons we chose to homeschool. Academically, she's doing great, and I have no regrets.

[Baby pictures, at long last]

So sweet â¤ï¸

[Introducing my baby-Violet!]

Congratulations! :-)

[Holt Science & Technology Question]

How cool! Thanks so much! :001_smile:

[Holt Science & Technology Question]

Thank you!

 

Would you agree with Physical in 6th? I was reading past threads and reviews of the program, and there seem to be a lot of different opinions on which book is the most difficult and what order is best.

[Holt Science & Technology Question]

I think I'm going to go with this for my 6th grader (physical, probably).

 

I can buy a DVD with the labs on it, but I am a little worried that I'll get it and need an access code of some kind. Does anyone know if that's the case -- or should it work like any other DVD?

 

Thanks!

[Mattress help please!!!]

We went through several mattresses and were never really happy with any of them. We have a Sealy now that I really like, but I think the biggest improvement comes from our adjustable base -- we both sleep so much better!

[I am married!! Link to photos working, I think!]

Congratulations! So beautiful!

[What grammar to do after fll4]

DD went on to Hake 6 after finishing FLL4. She's finishing up Hake 7 this year, but she wants to do GftWTM if it's out in time for fall.

[bare bones birth story and quick update]

Wow! What a ride! Welcome, sweet baby! :-D

[I have lived here 11 years now (JAWM)]

This is the third place we've lived since we got married 12 years ago, and we've enjoyed each one, but none of them have felt like home to me. And now when I visit my hometown, that doesn't feel as much like home as it used to. :-(

[Heavy, heavy heart]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 😞

[Pregnancy...when to tell the other kids? update #28]

Congratulations on your little girl!! 💗

[Are you going to vote? How do you decide?]

I will definitely vote. My state is not likely to be a swing state, but if the polls are close, I'll vote for one of the major party candidates. If not, I'll vote 3rd party.

[pokemon go...]

DH and I are playing, and the kids are helping us. We roamed all over the local university today and had a lot of fun. :-)

[How old were you when you became a mom?]

[So, the Two Week Wait is over :)]
