[I'm giving away a copy of the New Well-Trained Mind]

I want to know the recipe for those amazing cookies at the top of your blog. YUM!!! I'm hungry.

Me too! Those look really yummy!

Cool!

[Favorite spelling curric for 3rd grader?]

We like Phonetic Zoo

[I have color coded my kids!]

I used too until I ran out of colors :D

 

That was me too...7 different colors are hard to find!

 

I did do it with bath towels years ago...worked great!

[My 6th/7th grader wants textbooks!]

It's probably a phase...we go in spurts. All my kids seem to like the structure of workbooks for awhile.

 

Then they don't. :lol:

[Got my schedule written up...]

looks fine to me! I love your organization!

[Where is the oddest/weirdest place you have schooled?]

Too funny!!

[Liberty Kids - video listing inside]

thanks for your hard work! I recently got one of these in a big lot of things...can't wait for the kids and I to watch it!

[Does anybody not have a homeschool room?]

Another kitchen table fan, here!

[If you're studying the ancients and Old Testament]

Cool! Thanks for sharing!

[What is the longest labor you've had?]

I have super long labors...all of them.

 

My longest was with my 38 weeker. He was determined not to come out! Induction due to Bp...35hours.

 

Shortest 16hrs with my 7th...finally ended in CS because her head would not engage.:)

["Recession is not Biblical" What does this mean?]

To some people, participation is not an option. :)

[Overload...]

Baby steps....definately, baby steps!

[cracked, dry heels -- talk to me about how to make this go away.]

I haven't read through all the replies, but coconut oil does great for me!

[I've gotten myself in a pickle]

Tenting in the yard?

This is just what I was thinking...an adventure for the kids! :)

[Question about Paypal shipping]

Here is a direct link into paypal to do that. I have been using this for years...since I started selling on line 9 years ago. :)

 

I lost the link once and it was terrible! :D

[Did Amazon change it's layout?]

They have changed how they show used books though! Now you can use Prime to order used books.

 

Great in one way...cheap books and get them in 2 days. Bad in that it's not worth selling on there anymore.

 

I have been able to find more of the info needed except on books that are OOP.

[*THUD* I ordered graph paper from Miller Pads & Paper yesterday.]

Staples will give you a teacher card (at least mine did) that I was able to flash for every purchase. It doesn't change the price, but at the end of each year, I get a "bonus check" in the mail that I can then use to buy new supplies. It is a pretty good gig.

Good to know! Thanks!

[Diane Craft's Brain Integration Therapy Manual]

I too, have mixed feelings. I think that the excercises that she recommends are helpful, but I think the book itself is WAY overpriced. It's only about 50 pages if I remember correctly, if that.

 

We are doing the excercises with my APD 7 year old and she actually sounded out a word for the first time yesterday.

 

If you have the option to buy used, it couldn't hurt to check it out!
