  1. It depends upon what you are painting over. If it's a light color, there shouldn't be a problem, but you may run out. You can take a can into Sherwin Williams and they can match it for you, if you wanted to make sure you don't run out.
  2. Great resource! Thanks for sharing. :001_smile:
  3. I really like Re9 from Arbonne. The only way I can afford it is to sell it though. :tongue_smilie: But it is the best stuff I've used on my face and I've tried it all.
  4. Those bins look better than a messy bookshelf or books all over the floor. I think it looks great!
  5. My 5 year old is learning cursive right now. We started out with one new letter a week, then eventually, he just started doing more on his own. We do one a day now. We use http://www.teachmejoy.com She has a program called The Joy of Handwriting. It's simple and easy to use and how she explains each letter is great.
  6. http://pinterest.com/MamaRophe/ I will never get away from pintrest now. :lol:
  7. I'm using Road trip USA for the older two boys right now. They love it! It's pretty easy for me to do also.
  8. I will look into that also. Thanks for the suggestion. Off to check out that link. Thanks. Fluency is one thing I've been wondering about. His comprehension is great!
  9. I am not sure what level reading he would be considered to be at right now. He just finished the green level and will be starting the orange level today. You can read here what each level teaches. http://www.hookedonphonics.com/master-reader-deluxe-edition?C1=4&C1=19
  10. The KOA's in Eastern Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota are very nice. We love camping at Wylee Park in Aberdeen, SD. Clean, lots of trees and decent prices. They fill up fast though, so you need to get reservations as soon as you know what days you want to be there.
  11. That sounds good. We will start dictation next year also, so that would take the place of phonics. Starting with The Magic Tree House sounds good. He loves them and has listened to many of them on CD.
  12. I know that probably sounds like a silly question. Let me explain what we've done so far. Lightening, 8 in June, went through Hooked on Phonics K-2. Then we moved on to HOP Master Reader. He is about finished with that now. What do I do after he is finished? Do I just have him read books based on his interest and have him narrate to me, or do a book report? Do we do a program like HOD Drawn Into the Heart of Reading? I'm not sure. Any advice would be welcome.
  13. http://askdrsears.com/html/7/T070200.asp http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1998/04.09/ChildrenNeedTou.html http://www.atlc.org/Resources/commons_newspaper.php http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/linda_folden_palmer2.html http://www.phdinparenting.com/2008/07/05/no-cry-it-out/ I'm not trying to start a debate. I just thought I'd post a little food for thought. CIO goes against every fiber in my being. I beleive there is always another solution. The No Cry Sleep Solution really helped us out.
  14. Sulfur cell salts should help. According to Dr. Donald LePore in "The Ultimate Healing System" your tonsils are your sulfur sack of your body. He recomends sulfur in cell salt form. I've used it and it works for me.
  15. I would recomend Mt. Rushmore, SD. I would also recomend visiting Medora, ND.
  16. I'm just marking this to come back to later. DH and I have been discussing it.
  17. I'm thinking about switching also. I'm going to watch this thread for more information. :)
  18. He does math(usually 2 pages), 1 page of Italics and spelling. They are broken up during the day, so he's not doing them all back to back.
  19. He is 6. He won't be 7 until June. The draw, write, now books are a great suggestion. I never even thought of them. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
  20. We are using LHFHG with the 1st grade extentions. We have been working through G&D Italic book B. He always complains how his hand hurts. I thought he just needed to strengthen those muscles so we've been playing with a lot of clay and play dough. I really think he was saying his hand hurt because he was bored. A thought came to me while we were working on spelling(using BLHFHG as a guide). He forms all of his letters very well and without looking at a chart. Maybe we could just start copywork. I wanted to get some other opinions on this though. What do you all think? Would you continue with the Italic book or would you move on to copy work and focus on penmanship?
  21. We tried it with our oldest. He was 4 when we started. We took a long break and came back to it at 5. We finally put it on the shelf for good. I don't like it, he didn't like it. So we found something else.
  22. I ordered mine from HOD and it was not colored. My children found it dry and boring.
  23. This made my giggle a bit. We recently bought a "double wide" manufactured home. :tongue_smilie: We also live in a "Manufactured home community". We call it what it is. We live in a double wide in a trailer park. :tongue_smilie: Oh well. My kids are fed, clothed, have a bed to sleep in and worship God daily. My husband loves me and comes home to me every day. What more can I ask for? I agree with the above poster that we just need to enjoy it. (I'm not sure what faygo is though.)
  24. vegetable noodle soups & biscuts vegetable noodle soup 16 oz beef broth 2 cans condenced tomato soup 2 cans diced tomaotes frozen vegetables diced cabbage quick barley alphabet noodles(or whatever soup noodes you want) -put all ingredients except noodles into a pot and simmer until everything is soft, add noodles and simmer until they are done.
