I'm reading that second Kyosaki book. He also co-authored a book with Donald Trump that's very interesting--Why We Want You to be Rich. Talks about there being no middle class in the future, hence you want to be on the rich side.
There are also some online lessons and such for schools Kyosaki has out there at http://richkidsmartkid.com/.
Nice to hear that someone else is trying to learn all this stuff. :)

I had lots of magazines when the kids were born, but gave them up for lots of years. Last year I had Shape (I was losing weight, okay? ;) , Simple and Delicious, Organic Gardening and Guideposts.
My tastes have changed a lot over the years. I've gone from Glamour and Self to Parents to Midwest Living, and now I'm heading into a new phase with Ready Made, Countryside & Small Stock Journal, and Health. Guess getting into healthier whole grain lifestyle changes everything. lol
The kids enjoy

Boys Life
Tried National Geographic and Popular Science, but they don't look at them. :(

I cut the kids hair, dh gets his cut regularly, and I go in very sporadically (4 - 6 months?) to get mine cut. I'm cutting my bangs all the time, and sometimes the sides or back. I ended up with shorter layers on the sides the last two cuts, so have been cutting it myself while they grow out. :)

The soups are my first choice. Then I like to make this:
ham and potato bake
3 tbsp butter
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 c sliced celery
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
dash of pepper
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 c milk
3/4 c shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
4 c frozen french fries
1 1/2 c cubed, cooked ham
Saute the onion and celery in butter; blend in flour and seasonings. Add milk, stirring and cooking , until thickened. Stir in 1/2 c cheese until melted.
Layer the potatoes, then the ham in a shallow 2 qt dish. Pour sauce over and bake, covered, at 400* for 30 minutes. Uncover, top with remainder of cheese, and bake til melted.
4 servings

My ideal is 8 a.m., but dh sets the alarm for 6:30 or 7. Ugh. We are night owls here, everyone staying up til 11 or 11:30. Seems to be getting later!!! I've got to reverse this trend, as I really function best with 8 hours of sleep.

Thanks for those great links, ladies! A friend is loaning me a microscope and supplies, along with some biology videos that sound like they go along with the SWB book recommendation perfect. I'll get that PCRM virtual dissection from digitalfrog.com, too. It's all coming together!!
-
I'm working on that using TWTM biology suggestions, but wondering about the lab portion. She doesn't show any lab for the high school science classes. I have found lots of experiments online, and I want to include microscope work and at least a virtual frog dissection. Can anyone give me a hand here?? I really don't want to do lots of dissections as ds is not into that kind of thing, nor is he a science major in any sense. Just wondering what we need to do to include a decent lab portion in the class.

Another vote for the Zo here, tho I have the older upright pan version (lucked out at Goodwill!). I had the breadmaker Walmart sells, but once my family tasted the bread in the Zo, they all--dh included--said to dump the other one. I make bread most days, too, with mostly fresh ground wheat.

I actually only fill the paper cups 1/2 full. I usually get at least 12 muffins. I like to use the Pampered Chef medium scoop as a measure.

Hungarian beef stroganoff over noodles with leftover bean soup for some of us, since I'd used leftover beef from Monday. :)

What state is this in? We missed that part...

My boys are just not that ambitious!
My 16yos is not a strong reader, but he's working his way through Ben Franklin's autobiography (LL). He's also working his way through the Old Testament and reading Run Baby Run on the side.
13yo ds is reading Treasure Island (LL8), but wanting to move onto The Hobbit.
Both are listening to Henty's In the Reign of Terror.
Dd7 and I just finished The Hundred Dresses.
Think I'm too busy with dh's bookwork to read lately. Can't even recall what's sitting next to my chair...

I was TinaM on the old boards. Guess I must be the only one registered. :)
I really love this format better; no clicking on different pages to see responses. Yeah!

Well, let's see where I am....

We'll be having stew, a new wild rice and turkey casserole, and I have to cook up some hamburger, so probably spaghetti, too. May have to try making homemade french bread, too. My mom found one of those french bread glass tubes like I had years ago, so I want to try it again.

Okay, I am very good at taking responsibility and getting a job done (think volunteer things here, tho I do it at home, too lol). I write a good newsletter. I can be silly and joke around with my kids. I'm a good cook and baker. I'm sure there's much more, but I'll have to think about it. :cool:

This was my first time checking off the 50 -54 box. :eek:

Definitely since it's here in our 'backyard'! My mom's real excited to go again, too. I love the renewing of the spirit aspect, tho I usually come home with an armload of books. :)
When I was a newer hser, going and seeing all the books I'd been reading about was perfect for me. It knocked a lot of titles off of my 'think I'd like to get this' list!
MN CORE isn't having their conference this year in March since MACHE will be up here. Just a booksale this year, then their conference again next year.

10 yrs so far, and several more with the boys. Then there's dd in 2nd grade, so I'll be at this another 10 years yet. :)
Could my ex really be this dumb?
