Anyone?

Has anyone had a chance to use this since it came out? I'm trying to decide whether or not to purchase it. I'm teaching a writing class at co op and thought it might help me with planning. I love her philosophy and already own The Writer's Jungle. TIA

Anyone rent an RV for a 2 week family trip--pros/cons?
MommyOwl replied to Ottakee's topic in The Chat Board
Have you considered just renting a tow vehicle since you already have a camping trailer? That way you'll have a vehicle to use and won't have to drag your 'room' with you sightseeing ;-) As for the two weeks in an RV, I'd say go for it! 4 years ago, we took 6 weeks to drive out to UT, WY from PA and the kids loved it so much they were begging to go again. We leave for 8 weeks to hit the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Canadian Rockies, and the Pacific coast on May 4th. I'm with your husband on not hauling your luggage in and out of hotels - plus hotel rooms can feel pretty tight whereas with an RV, you can always toss the kids outside when you're getting ready in the morning :-) Have a great time, whatever your decision! P.s. I find its a lot easier to eat healthy and affordably out of your own fridge than out at restaurants all the time. -

And I just noticed that my profile says "Hive Mind Worker Bee" so apparently you don't need too many posts 😊 -

I don't post much. My post count is anemic at best considering how long I've followed these boards - but now I have one more post 😃 -
Have you encountered a unique gift? Post it here.

Just bought a guitar pick punch for my oldest I thought was pretty neat 🎸 http://www.amazon.com/Pick-Punch-PP00/dp/B005FIFM14/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385905892&sr=8-1&keywords=guitar+pick+punch -
Several years ago I was in tears from my TMJ pain. My oral surgeon presribed ibuprofen, Skelaxin (awesome muscle relaxant without the side effects), a simple mouth exercise, and a heated wet washcloth (as hot as I could stand- I used a microwave). I did the first three for several weeks without improvement and when I returned to the Dr. for followup, he scolded me for not doing the heat treatment as well. After just a few days of adding in the heat treatment, the pain finally started to subside. It finally disappeared completely - ahhhh. I was finally able to open my mouth far enough to eat a sandwhich or salad again as well :-) The mouth exercise involved opening my mouth as far as I could and then stretching the tip of my tongue up towards the back of my mouth as far as I could. I did this often throughout the day. The heat was truly the key for me though. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon. I have to start therapy again for the other side of my jaw now - it hurts :-(.

Haven't read it but thought it might be helpful for those new to homeschooling in PA. Free until 9/2. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EV47FPY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?keywords=Homeschooling%20in%20Pennsylvania%20How%20to%20Comply%20with%20the%20Law%20in%208%20Easy%20Steps&qid=1377866691&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

Thanks for the idea - it will be great to do for my kids to recognize the German side of their heritage. Found this one here... http://alphamom.com/family-fun/holidays/make-a-schultute-for-your-childs-first-school-year/. Obviously we're past first grade but who doesn't like surprise gifts on the first day of school?!?

When you realize you have completely screwed up

My friend had much success with her son and this program http://www.brainbalancecenters.com/ . I don't know much about it but if there is one in your area, it might be worth checking out.
