Photo evidence of how a small house works for you?
MominIN replied to xixstar's topic in The Chat Board
We no longer live in what I consider a small house after adding on two years ago, but I sure remember those days of being sandwiched in! Here are some pictures of our home now, which is 1700 square feet (still not huge). I realized I don't have any pictures of our living room ... I'll have to get around to doing that sometime soon. I've really enjoyed seeing everyone else's homes! -
I'm trying to get back into the habit of doing this. Ours is up for this week!

s/o male teachers at church- "two deep"policy
MominIN replied to JaneP's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We have a small church. Our rule is no one on one. If your class only has one student (which does happen) then you combine with another. If we had to be two deep, we wouldn't have any classes! I know all the teachers well and trust them. All doors have a window and an adult is traveling around during sunday school taking attendance and collecting offering. The middle school class has a man teaching it, but nothing younger. A few men help their wives in the nursery. We have no rule about men teaching little ones, but the men in our church seem unwilling to teach anyone under middle school age. -
Hairstyles and Husbands....the poll
MominIN replied to fairfarmhand's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I didn't vote. My husband prefers medium length. I've never colored my hair, but I talked about it once and he told me not to. -
Ok I have one more baby naming question
MominIN replied to plain jane's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I once knew a family with three boys, whose names were (names changed): James Michael Michael Andrew Andrew Samuel I always thought it was kind of neat as a kid. But, I will admit it's a little strange. -
Dr Hive-- I just burned myself help
MominIN replied to Jann in TX's topic in General Education Discussion Board
This may be too late, but I burned my hand a few weeks ago and from our online research we found that you should submerse the burn in cold water (not ice!!!) for 30 minutes right after you are burned. -
What do you consider a small house?
MominIN replied to shanvan's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We had 7 of us living in 1200 sq. feet and it was small. We added on and now have a little under 1800 square feet for 8 of us. It has plenty of room for us. It is laid out very well. -
I'm 45-50 lbs. overweight right now (I am down 10 lbs in the last month, though ... YAY!). I'm an emotional/stress eater who hates to exercise. If I watch my calories and exercise, I lose weight. ETA: I am hypothyroid, and although I think it does affect my weight gain, I think it is less of an issue than my eating habits and inactivity. Although, after I have my babies, while waiting to get my medication regulated I go hyperthyroid and I lose weight fast. I really wish they would just keep my medicine at that level, LOL.

Finally planning for 2012-3-need science!
MominIN replied to whitestavern's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I'm using Holt's Science and Technology Physical Science next year with my 7th grader. It looks really good to me! The lab book is included in the book, as well, which is nice. It has a lot of physics in it (along with Chemistry). It's also super cheap used on Amazon!! (Although if you plan to do many labs, the cost of lab materials do add up fast). -
I'm Shannon. I'm the Mom of 6. We've been homeschooling since the beginning - my oldest is going into 7th grade this year. I'm juggling getting my oldest ready for high school while chasing after an overactive toddler, keeping a preschooler busy, and teaching my three others (rising 2nd, 3rd, and 5th graders). I've learned so much on this site! I rarely post, but have learned a great deal from all of you. My husband is a pastor of a small, rural church which keeps us busy. I enjoy photography and reading. My 18 month old still doesn't sleep through the night, so as a girl who needs her sleep I'm not able to read as much as I would like right now because my brain is in a daze. We keep hoping that he will grow out of that soon!

This. We are planning a trip to Chicago next week. We have a membership to our local science museum, and it gets us into the Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, and the Children's Museum at Navy Pier (and a few others that I don't remember) for free. Ours does have a rule that you can't use with a museum within a certain number of miles of your home museum (90?? maybe), so if you are close to Chicago it might not work for you.

Changing a baby's name?
MominIN replied to BakersDozen's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'm with everyone else ... I love the name Oliver! BUT, I wouldn't change his name unless dh was on board with it. If he has no problem, then I say go for it!! (By the way, your little guy is simply adorable). -
I've never seen a sale on IG. In April, once they change over to the new IG, the old one is no longer available. If you want the current IG, then you need to order before April. HTH.

How old were you when you started caring
MominIN replied to tntgoodwin's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I remember having "boyfriends" in Kindergarten. I always had a crush on some boy or another from then on. -
Poll: Do glasses make you look older?
MominIN replied to sparrow's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't think they make you look older. I do think they can make you you look smarter and wiser. -
Help me settle this eye color debate
MominIN replied to Mergath's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Your eyes look very similar to my daughter's eyes ... and I'm never sure whether her eyes are brown or hazel. Most people say she has brown eyes, but I think they are more hazel. Your daughter's eyes I think are green-blue. They are very pretty and unique! They are similar to my green-eyed boy, with just more blue in them! -

Skylanders figures--where online except eBay??
MominIN replied to 6packofun's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My boys bought one at gamestop a week or so ago, and the guy said they restock every Tuesday, but they're all gone by around three that same day. You may need to find out when stores get their shipment and go then. -
If you have a Kindle Fire....do you love it?
MominIN replied to heidip2p's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I got my husband one for Christmas and he has told me multiple times since then how much he loves it! -
Eating breakfast and weight loss?
MominIN replied to Tohru's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think what I have read is that you just need to eat something for breakfast. It's getting your metabolism jump started for the day. So, eating a pastry would qualify as eating breakfast. -
If either of you has been sterilized...
MominIN replied to JumpyTheFrog's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I had no doubts, but it was also just a few weeks after I gave birth to our last. A year later and I still have no regrets. -
