Does anyone have any experience with this company, specifically the Audio CDs they are offering for sale right now? Is the material good? Thanks

For my littles as we studied through the ABCs we studied coordinated in 1 country using all 3 Children Just Like Me books as we could. We added this: http://www.amazon.com/Children-Just-Like-Me-Sticker/dp/0751358754 And this: http://www.amazon.com/Sing-Around-World-Pamela-Beall/dp/0843120053/ref=pd_sim_b_1 And a notebooking page of my own design which included coloring in the country on a map of the world, and a place to draw the flag.

Maxwell's books recommend Mom & Dad take a whole day and go to a conference room with a big white board and plenty of tables and use the day to plot the course for their year ahead. Love the idea...but it's never happened here! Someone want to PEP with me?

:bigear:

I don't know how labor intense this is because it's just one I have my eye on, but I'm glad to hear other's input on it. Also I've been drooling over Bright Idea Press's new Wondermaps: https://www.brightideaspress.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3 Anyone have experience with these?

For many years I had success with Floradix. Then had to switch to Energizing Iron (which was formally known as Liquid Liver!) For my last pregnancy I was using both and eating as much iron rich foods as possible: liver, prunes, spinach, blackstrap molasses, etc. Plus my midwife was giving me a vegetable based iron supplement. And I was taking lots of kelp supplements. Since I'm militantly all-natural/organic when I'm pregnant, I was against taking any medical/chemical forms of iron :) :)

This looked really cool to me http://www.ellenjmchenrydownloads.com/Mapping-the-World-with-Art_c16.htm And this is another one I was looking at http://visualizeworldgeography.com/catalog.html?Vl=1&Tp=2

:bigear: Or how about an app for this? (We are currently using an intervals and triads app, but would love to have an app that teaches all music theory.)

Oh, I'd always wondered that too! Thanks, now I can cross that one off the mental things to discover...I was hoping I might be able to make it rich some day by figuring out the secret formula!

Has anyone looked into Harmony Art?

Oh, wow! Every year I plan and think I know where we are headed for sure in the future, but then there are changes one year to the next. I know because I do a yearly forecasting spread sheet. But science has been pretty consistent for us. Apologia also. Now I've got to go look into History Revealed!!!

Trying to decide between GWG and Junior AG. Any thoughts?

:lurk5:

Thanks for all the helpful info! What I like best about this program is the price! :)

When I looked at the samples, I thought it would be too easy after FLL and my kids would think the same as Sparrow mentioned.

We were hoping ALL was going to happen, but now we are searching and researching too!

I did double closet rods in my girl's closet. But you have lots of real estate in there under the closet rod...you could lower the rod so she could reach her own clothes, or you could put in some sort of organizing shelf underneath. I've had luck with both clear plastic boxes (so they can see what's inside) and cloth-sided bins (so they don't have to take the cover off and, more importantly, put it back on!

My teeth hurt just thinking about that sound!!:tongue_smilie:

What does the inside of the closet look like? I'm wondering about storage possibilities.

My musical children perform at a nursing home as requested by the activities director. And we keep track of it because my understanding is that will make college scholarship applications go easier.

So I'm not the only one?

Ha, ha! I'm very tall, so I never experienced this...just heard about it from my short friends!

Yep! We spread our compost over our whole garden and then plant the garden. Our compost has chicken, rabbit, goat and cow manure in it as well as all the other you mentioned.

What a great Mother's Day or Birthday present for a contemporary!

I wouldn't...
