  1. Taking a mental health break for a few weeks. I'll be back in a bit. 

  2. I would REALLY like to rejoin my "club," the bible believing Christian one. It's been weeks! Anyone know how to do that?

      Did anyone figure out where this group is or how to join? I asked to be added but I don't even know where to go to find it.

      Yes! The Latin ones have been fantastic for us!

  4. Horrible Geography is the latest winner from that series in this household. "Mom, did you know the Caspian Sea is not a sea at all but an inland lake?"

      We have been loving Horrible Science. I don't have Horrible Geography. Thanks for sharing!

      Glad to hear it! The worst part for me was the lengthy lifting restriction. =)

      Unsolicited advice from someone who has had bilateral hernia surgery: start the Miralax now. Trust me on this one.

      Forgot--The Princess and the Goblin by MacDonald is great!

      You could check out Edith Nesbit's stuff. Of hers, we liked Five Children and It and The Enchanted Castle. We also read some of the Half Magic books (they are more modern). I like George MacDonald's stuff like The Golden Key, The Light Princess,etc. Also the Chronicles of Prydain were well liked by my DS11. I am trying to find more options for him. Maybe we should start a thread?? LOL.

  15. So bummed. My grandma passed away this morning (long battle with dimensia, so a blessing in a way, but I'm still sad). To make matters worse, the funeral will be on the day of the Renaissance Festival. Kids have been working on their costumes for weeks. :(

      Our Ren Fest runs every weekend through the end of October if you aren't far from Ohio. So sorry about your grandma!

  16. Well, the apocalypse is upon us. My kids *begged* to start school early yesterday. So we started school today and they did their work cheerfully. Maybe they were abducted by aliens? Or that Stepford Wives thing is happening? This is just terrifying!

  17. Phone spam is boring. Where are my Koreans?

      We need to create fun spam for you. Maybe we can create a whole new wingdings font.=)

  18. I just unbound and three hole punched LFC Primer A's Activity Book. I guess that means I am committed to using it now?

    1. cintinative

      LOL. I was just telling a friend the funny thing about LFC is that almost all the used versions say "first 10 pages used in pencil." It's not exactly encouraging. =)

  19. I'm a mom of a wonderful little boy who is 6, and we are new to the homeschooling adventure. We live in a small community that is rife with heroin overdoses and parents who don't care about their kids, so the pool from which to find quality friends for my little man is rapidly drying up. We are looking at Classical Conversations as a supplemental program, and I would be most grateful for any helpful information anyone can provide. Thank you!

      Mgnalln, check under the General Education thread. Another mom asked about CC recently and there is a post with a bunch of prior threads on CC as well. Is there any co-op in your area or is CC your only option?

  22. Can I just say how much I love the boards? You guys can answer a question faster than I could ever research on my own, and I get the benefit of lots of different perspectives to give me things to think about that I would never have come up with on my own. Thanks Board!

  23. First child is just about finished homeschooling high school and is off to university in a few months. I. can. not. believe. after all these years of being on these forums that I am writing this!! Thank you SWB and JW and long-time boardie friends!!!!
