Yum! Those both sound like good ideas. I just checked and we're all out of mozzarella. :( Crissy, do you think fresh pineapple would work in the sweet and sour chicken recipe?

I need inspiration, please?! I have no idea what to do with my boneless skinless chicken breasts for dinner. I'm definitely going to get back to menu planning, but I still need to feed the family tonight. Any ideas? I would prefer something quick and easy after this very long day. We have a wide variety of items in the fridge/freezer/pantry. Thanks!

We school year-round and are on day 136. We're required to do 180 days, so we're getting very close to that requirement! We will just keep going, taking days off whenever needed, and won't start the next grade's materials until July. We'll use the rest of the school year to delve deep into things that interest us and to review anything that may not have been learned to mastery.

I don't know how much the one is at Michael's, but I bought one at Wal*Mart for $15.

Thank you!

We have a wireless Lexmark copier/scanner/fax that works great, but you have to watch out for the ink costs! Lexmark ink seems to be one of the most expensive brands. I finally bought a laser printer and will only be using the Lexmark for copying. Just be sure that you don't buy a cheap printer to save money and then end up paying hundreds more in ink than you would have with a different brand.

That's exactly how I feel. I started out trying to do lots of fun activities. I was exhausted from the hours of preparation, he wasn't learning any more from our projects than he was gleaning from our reading, and he had less time to play because I was taking up his time with projects. So with the exception of science experiments, which we enjoy and from which he learns a great deal, we do very few projects.

This is the book we have and would recommend. It does a much better job than others I have read at presenting the information as stories instead of fact.

I read when I should be dusting or vacuuming.

I wish they would increase the resolution. If we could hook the computer up to the tv and watch them with good clarity (or even with a bigger screen size and good clarity on the computer) I would be all for it. The size it is now is, in my opinion, far too annoying and not worth nearly $200.

This is what I do.

Thank you!

I have lived in the same county for my entire life and can't imagine living anywhere else. Even if we were to win millions of dollars in the lottery we would stay here, we would just buy ourselves a vacation home somewhere warm so we could escape the coldest, snowiest months of the year. ETA~ I have traveled through most of the states from NY to Florida and the only ones that could entice me to leave home are NC and VA. I've never been west of the Mississippi, though, so maybe I'm missing somewhere that I would really love.

Thank you! I'm definitely ordering that one!

Oh, if he does teach you how to cook, please share the recipes and tricks?! I adore Greek food!

With a very quick search for "printable metric measurements worksheets" I found these and these. Would either of those work?

I've been like that lately but mine are sinus headaches and happen with the changes in barometric pressure.

You're welcome! Please tell me you're not making souvlaki and tzatziki to go with those pitas or I may shrivel up with envy. :)

I've used this with great success many times. Farmgirl Fare: Pita, Pita, I Too Much Eata!

We love that one. You might also like these sites. Dallas Symphony Orchestra Kids San Francisco Symphony Kids Carnegie Hall: The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra Making Music Fun

That is so cool! I'm hopping between Lily and the blog hop now. There goes my afternoon! :lol: It's a good thing we've finished school work already.

We are. ETA ~ YouTube videos of and

Thank you! I can buy the All Inclusive package (which contains all of the MM material she currently offers) for less than the price of 2 years of Singapore. Without your post I never would have noticed that, so many thanks! That way I will have both the Light Blue and Blue series so I can decide which way of supplementing would work for us. Or we may like it so much that we switch to MM as our main program and use MEP to supplement. Is it silly that I'm super excited about this?! :lol:

Hijacking. I was getting ready to buy Singapore, but I keep seeing references like the one above. I'm starting to think MM might be a better choice for us. We use MEP as our main math program, so I'm just looking for something to supplement with. Do I buy the Light Blue series? Thanks!
