I'm going to dissent here. I think their sofa quality is carp. The fabrics seem ok, but the frames give more than I like and they all seem so light. I like a heavy framed sofa, and Ashley just seemed like toy furniture to me.
Do a google for Ashley furniture reviews and see what you find.
My DH, who is in furniture sales, would never buy Ashley. As someone else said, you get what you pay for.

I would like to say it was either me or Nestof3- here's mine
http://triviumacademy.blogspot.com/2008/04/our-k-8-science-by-seasons.html and Dawn's is...
http://ournestof3.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-long-term-science-goals.html
I don't know if either of these is what you're talking about though, neither one of are following WTM very closely.
Thanks for posting your blog. I was wondering about Science Scope. :)
-
Thanks for the suggestions so far. Off to do a little research.;)

I love TruthQuest for history, but it is for people who don't mind having no laid out structure. Perfect for us. We like to go at our own pace.
Thanks. I forgot about TruthQuest. It looks interesting. I like the fact that it's not structured as I prefer historical books over textbooks.

I have a 6th grader, 3rd grader and kindergartener. I'm not really concerned about kindgergarten right now. Other than SOTW and Mystery of History, what have you used with success to teach your kids at one time who are not in the same grade? I think my concern is that if I make it palatable for my 3rd grader it won't be challenging enough for my 6th grader.
I'm looking for Geography/Social Studies, History and Science recs only. Your help is greatly appreciated.:)

Do you give your child juice boxes? I know the lining of the boxes is aluminum. I wonder if it leaches. Any thoughts?

I try to use something called facts. What you guys just spun was beyond suspicion or even assumptions. But you'd make good money working at The Enquirer.
Well it is a fact that Merriam-Webster defines suspicion in this way: the act or an instance of suspecting something wrong without proof or on slight evidence :)
-
Oh. My. Word. No wonder conspiracy theories abound on the internet. People will assume and attach themselves way too early to spin. It's really sickening.
Why is it sickening to be suspicious?:confused: You may take everything at face value, but especially in the world of politics, everything is not as it seems.

"They're" saying that Bristol is 5 months pregnant, is that right?
And "they've" suggested that perhaps Bristol was actually the mother of Trig, who was born . . . 5 months ago, yes?
So, if Bristol is 5 months pregnant *now*, it would be impossible for her to be Trig's mother, correct? So, if SUDDENLY the Palin family announces that Bristol is 5 months pregnant, then that conveniently puts to rest the rumor that Bristol is Trig's mother.
It's all very, very convenient, and something doesn't add up. The only thing more convenient than the timing of Bristol's pregnancy would be for the pregnancy not to reach full-term, which is what I predict will be the next announcement (that Bristol has miscarried).
For the record, I have no horse in this race. I have no candidate, and I have no feelings toward the Palin family other than to wish them the very, very best in this difficult time.
:iagree:

This is where a lot of us will part ways, I suppose. I would expect that of Bud. And of myself. Once we get these kids launched, then we don't have to consider the impact of our career choices upon them. But until then, I feel pretty strongly that we might have to make some sacrifices to get them where they need to be - particularly if we end up having one who makes significantly poor choices in his or her life. One or both of us might have to backburner some personal desires/ ambitions to parent our children as they figure out the whole becoming-an-adult thing. It would be a small sacrifice to see them over a bump in the road and into a successful life.
I wholeheartedly agree!:)

Why?
I don't feel comfortable at all with her being 2nd in command because of her experience and her judgement leaves much to be desired, IMO. She appears to be dishonest as well. Why lie and say that she never approved of the Bridge to Nowhere? What else has she lied about?:confused: This latest issue is just one more "thing" and the announcement was just made Friday. Geez.
-
Okay, here's what gets me. Two things, I guess...
First, I think the McCain people *have* to be lying when they say they knew before announcing Palin as the VP choice. I mean, I just can't *imagine* they would take her own -- controversial choice as she is -- knowing her teenage daughter was pregnant and what a distraction that could be.
Second, I'm sort of horrified that Palin would be willing to throw her daughter in the spotlight more than she already was (by accepting the VP nomination) while she's going through something so private, at such a young age. It *seems* terribly callous to me.
I really don't know what to make of this yet. It will take time, and I'm sure that a lot more information will come out... But right now... I'm just a little concerned about the adults' choices in all of this.
I agree, especially with the bolded.
-
Oh my word. I'm speechless. I believe this election is over.
I agree.

I've had this book for about 4 years. I love the principles laid out in it. I've recommended this book to several ppl.
-
So how did you do it? I've never used coupons much ... have never worked out a good system for doing so.
I sent you a PM.
-
I cut my food budget by learning how to use coupons correctly. I went from spending $600-$700 month to feed my family of 5 to spending $250 a month. It would be less but I buy alot of fresh fruits and veggies. Even storebrand/generics are expensive to me now. I shudder to think what my bill would be like now if I hadn't changed my ways.
-
We use and love the PUR
-
I don't think you really need them. But I have enjoyed the guided student workbooks.
So if I were planning to spend more money, that's where I'd go.
Is this the guided reading and study workbook?
-
We have always sent our kids to kids' church. IMO- it gives them their lesson in a more kid friendly and easy to understand format. Plus, they have made many friends there. But... it doesn't bother me a bit if another family choses to keep their kids with them. Its their choice :)
I agree.:)
-
I love SO FL too. It's paradise for my family.:)
-
Thanks for your responses. I should have stated that I only use Abeka for math but the additional info is greatly appreciated.:)
-
What is it you don't like with Abeka for upper grades? What do you use for 6th grade and up?:)
-
Thanks, I think I'm leaning towards supplementing Abeka for next year and then switching up for PreAlgebra.
Ok, almost a month into school for most of us . . . What have been your winners???
