I don't think this qualifies as curriculum hopping. That is when you jump around and don't stick with something even long enough to figure out if it is decent or not. Have you looked at Math Mammoth? It is inexpensive, and you could use it along side TT or on it's own. The good thing is it is mastery based. So if they know something, skip it. You can work in your own review by doing the cummulative reviews. It really is a solid program. There are enough problems and different approaches to the same topic that it allows for some flexibility. What I did to move through some things quicker was combine years. DS needed to move faster so I would take say fractions, and look at year 4 and 5 at the same time and mesh the two. Not saying that would be the best for you, just giving an idea about the flexibility. One year builds on the next, so you really can use what parts of what year you need. I hope this makes sense. I really cannot comment on CLE math because I am not familiar with that.

I am making a huge change in writing. I can't say it out loud yet LOL. DD is really blowing me away this year, so I am changing things up a bit with her. We are going to start WWE2 after Christmas after I dumped WWW/GWG stuff and we are working quickly through WWE1. for DS I'm pretty much keeping everything except the big writing change. I did pretty good this year and did not need to change much.

I really want one of those huge rolling ones. That's all I got :lol:

I just googled it. It doesn't look like something I would watch on purpose.

I have never seen it either. I don't eve know what it's about LOL

and again

seriously? 3 times. Ugh

I boxed a ton up and gave them away. I LOVE Fiesta ware. One or two colors with white. They are having a huge sale right now at MAcy's on them so I bought my mom some too. They are impossible to break and they stack nicely.

..

I have white, and Fiestaware's aqua. I have a thing with white dishes but I love the pop of color

Yes and I love that little violin. He looks so sad and pale. He needs a cupcake

Or at least not saying it out loud.

Susan is pritty. And I really wish there was a magical fairy to bring back the automatic spell check (bag over head).

THat's what ours is. It goes down to 67 for the night and I turn it up in the am when I first get up. I am in wool socks, sweats and 3 shirts drinking hot tea

Raccoons are NOT cute. The are smart, mean and distructive. Everyone else gave good advice. Get rid of them.

Those macaroni snowflakes are adorable. I like making felt ornaments. Last year we did birds. They are easy for kids to stitch around with embroidery floss. This year I am going to try and teach them blanket stitch.

I recently found Seba Med. It's the sensitive baby cream in a tube. I used Aveeno baby cream with the dark blue lid before that. But this stuff is next to a miracle. I don't know what it is, but it's better than anything I've ever tried. Next to that I used the Aveeno and Aquaphor.

Well I always get the white sprinkle flecked melting chocolates to "frost" ours. I think it lasts longer. I made it a full week before Christmas and it was delicious.

I know. A couple days ago I made one with fresh rosemary, cracked pepper and a bit of pecorino. Then I sliced it and broiled it with swiss cheese

Ok I bake with a starter and that gives more developed flavor, but the basic recipe is basically the same just with dry yeast. I would write out a detailed recipe and method but the following website is by far the most helpful. Breatopia The video is so helpful and shows how to mix, and shape the loaf. It is awesome bread. ETA: In the video he bakes in a la cloche. In place of that I use the dutch oven. I just don't need one more thing that has one purpose

I am SO happy for you, and her!

Yes, I think it is far less stick prone. And it is such even heat. You can sear, then add your stuff and bake. They are very versitile.

Hurray for you! My dentist offers Nitrous. I pretend it's not working until they give me the max dose. I have to stay there for a half hour with oxygen LOL. Every time I go the assitant looks baffled at my chart. "Wow, you're such a little thing, you have such a high tolerance for gas." :leaving:

Well the first hing I ever made in it was horrible. It was chicken breasts dusted with flour for chicken with morel mushrooms. I didn't wipe the flour from the first batch frying and I set off the smoke alarm. That was some years ago.
