My mother passed away...
my3starsofthesea replied to Sandy in Indy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom when I was 18. It's hard to lose your mother at any age. Please find comfort in knowing you'll see her again one day. ((hugs)) -
What does your screen name mean?
my3starsofthesea replied to RegGuheert's topic in General Education Discussion Board
my3starsofthesea - my youngest daughter's name means "star of the sea", I love the ocean, and I have 3 kids. -
I'm Jodi aka my3starsofthesea. I'm 37 years old. I'm married to David (soon to be 42), we'll be celebrating 15 years of blissful marriage in November! He's my soulmate and best friend. We live in Arkansas, where we have 3 children, oldest dd is 12, middle ds is 9, and our youngest dd is 7. We just completed our 4th year of homeschooling. I started after my oldest completed 3rd grade. She was constantly sick, and missed tons of days of school. My other 2 children have been homeschooled since K. We love homeschooling, being together, and learning together. I enjoy the flexibility homeschooling gives us, and our kids are much healthier as well now too! We've always used Sonlight for our Core curriculum, but we add lots of other things in as well. I've been chosen to be part of The TOS Homeschool Crew this year, and will be receiving lots of curriculum to review, and I'm looking forward to trying out new things! I'm also a blogger. My family blog is called Green Acres ~ about our family's move from New Jersey to rural Arkansas. And, I also have a homeschool resource blog called The Homeschool Desk Looking forward to getting to know everyone here! :)

Did you name your homeschool?
my3starsofthesea replied to greenmamato3's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I gave our homeschool a name when we first started, because sometimes when I ordered things online it would ask for school name. So I just used my username/email and turned it into our school name: Stars of the Sea Academy I think it's nice for our school to have a name, even though we really don't use it often, we can list it if we need to! -
First bath, and other injustices
my3starsofthesea replied to kah's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I have 3, but my oldest is 12, so she showers daily without all the fuss. ;) But, my youngest 2 are 9 and 7 1/2, so it's usually who's available, or who is the sweatiest, dirtiest, at the moment. My 9 yo likes to stay in there longer, however, so I try to get his younger sis in there before him. They both take showers, but sometimes he likes to sit in the bath, and if that's the case, then he's going last so he can soak to his heart's content, :) However, in the past, we have done alternating who went first/last the last time. Whatever works! -
My advice is to tell her. I think the consequences of not telling her would be much greater than those of telling her. When my mom was sick with cancer, her cousin that she had been very close to lived far away, and had alot of problems of her own, so her family chose not to tell her that my mom was sick and dying. When she died, they had no choice, she was distraught and horrified, because to her it was sudden and a shock, and her family took away her chance to be with my mom and spend time with her before she passed away. My mom's cousin was never the same. It was a terrible thing for her family to do to her. (btw, my mom and dad wanted to tel her, but her parents and my grandparents discourgaed them greatly from doing so, so they just went along with her parents' wishes). I'm sorry about your uncle, and for your family. :grouphug:

Ack! ruined 2 borrowed books! WWYD?
my3starsofthesea replied to newlifemom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I would replace them, the least expensive way possible, if that's RR then go for it. Sorry, accidents happen though, at least you are a good enough person to know to replace them :) -
