Light Corn syrup, vinegar and baking soda. Also semisweet chocolate chips (although that's probably not to replace eggs. Just to add yumminess and maybe a texture thing?) There is also some vegetable oil in the recipe.

Bakin' without Eggs by Rosemarie Enro has a good brownie recipe. I also like their sugar cookie and cornbread recipes. It's written by a baker who had a daughter who is egg allergic, so she knows the chemistry of food. My dd has egg allergy and we either use recipes from that book or sometimes standard recipes from our Better Homes and Garden cookbook with Ener-G Egg Replacer. (Not for brownies though. My only successful brownies are from Bakin without Eggs). http://www.amazon.com/Bakin-Without-Eggs-Delicious-Food-Allergic/dp/0312206356/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434157369&sr=8-1&keywords=bakin+without+eggs

Behold and See Science from Catholic Heritage Curriculum fits the bill. They go through about the 6th grade, I believe.

You might like a United Methodist church. Just wanted to throw that in. It meets your criteria. I have attended two, one larger and one smaller, and loved them both.

Eclectic! :) Seriously, though, if you are new and need some handholding, you might look at Timberdoodle.com's curriculum kits.

I have a visual spatial learner, and what we are doing this year for 9th grade history is: Our spine is SWB's A History of the Ancient World (not visual, but told in story form which VSLs love) She will read corresponding pages from Usborne's Encyclopedia of the Ancient World and also corresponding books from the You Wouldn't Want to Be series. We will watch corresponding Horrible Histories videos on youtube. I am also going to work more with maps this year. We will do the globe/map exercises from Draw Write Now book 7, where they learn to draw the world and it's continents from memory. As we read our spine, she will read corresponding pages from Nystrom's Atlas of World History and also do mapwork I found on the internet (mostly from Map Skills Ancient Civilizations if I recall correctly). HTH!

I have not personally read it, but my brother was an English major in college and he gave me one of the books he used, presumably in an English class but maybe a different class. It is called American Indian Myths and Legends, selected and edited by Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz. Here is an amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/American-Legends-Pantheon-Folklore-Library/dp/0394740181/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433180798&sr=8-1&keywords=american+indian+myths+and+legends

I was going to suggest tennis or racquetball. Both are very fun and no contact. And very physical.

I went to Lakeshorelearning.com and searched "shapes". They have a ton of stuff. http://products.lakeshorelearning.com/search#w=shapes

Our local university has a summer writer's camp for kids and teens. It's a week or two.

If you're looking for books with things to do, Abeka has a cute book for "Nursery" level: http://www.abeka.com/ABekaOnline/BookDescription.aspx?sbn=169498 and I loved Where is Thumbkin? for fun educational activities for my little one: http://www.amazon.com/Where-Thumbkin-Activities-Songs-Already/dp/0876591640/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431210691&sr=8-1&keywords=where+is+thumbkin and Critical Thinking Company has some neat resources, like this one: http://www.criticalthinking.com/mathematical-reasoning-beginning-1.html

Because your dd is 11, and that is such a tricky age socially, I would stick with co-op A. Friends really start to matter then, and if everybody is still being nice to each other, and there is no drama, that is a blessing. Ride the wave. Stick with co-op A until it ceases to be a pleasant place.

I think you should search everywhere that your ds and dh searched. Are you the "finder" of the house? I am at our house. My dd and dh can swear they couldn't find something, only to have me walk in and instantly find the thing, by lifting something up or looking behind something. Once YOU have completed re-searching everywhere, then I might agree that it got stolen. But first use your mom-finder ability. It's remarkable.

He is way over the line. You should have included that fact that he's a public school teacher in your original post. I'll bet that would change the votes that just thought "overprotective mom." He's definitely raising a ton of red flags. He DOES know better and he's doing wrong anyway. If it were my kid, I would have pulled her out yesterday. Talk to the senior pastor afterward. Your dd's well-being is more important. If she's too young to understand that, and you are uncool, too bad. Find another church with another youth group. Because what if you don't pull her out now, and the thing we're all worried about actually happens? Don't hide your head in the sand.

I like Remedia workbooks. They have one on Punctuation and one on Capitalization.

And my pet peeve is that when something doesn't apply to your kid, it's complete bunk. Yes, my kid didn't have a problem reading. And I support getting help for kids to read. However, that doesn't make "right brained learning" bunk. It was life-changing for us to realize that my kid IS a right brain learner, whole-to-parts thinker. Requiring stories, color, humor, and pictures to learn. So I'm happy that you never lost years of education trying to teach your kid in a way that didn't work for them. That doesn't make it bunk.

My science hater hated the 6th grade book. Maybe check out Galore Park Science?

Is this your first planned "date" with these people? Culturally, I know some people who don't REALLY consider things confirmed unless they talk to me the day before or the day of, even if we've been talking for awhile about the get-together. Even if we've "confirmed" three days before. Must be exactly the day before or the day of to be definitely solidified. Drives me crazy, but that's just how some people do it. Otherwise, I would guess unexpected out of town or family illness. Definitely give the benefit of the doubt.

Old Nancy Drews? Cherry Ames, nurse series

Check out Christian Liberty Press' offerings. I loved American Pioneers and Patriots and A Child's Story of America. You might also look at History Pockets from Evan Moor. Those are great.

It's not a fit for everyone, but my vsl thrived with Abeka phonics. I had to buy all the "optional" flashcards, but it worked great. And of course, for a vsl, the visuals on the flashcards aren't really optional. My vsl did Abeka Phonics 1 and 2. We used the whole program, the readers and workbook and everything.

Key to Algebra book one is perfect for negative numbers. Some one wiser than I will have to answer the Singapore to AOPS PreAlg. question.

This is the time of the year when I look at what is left to accomplish in every textbook and decide whether I want to finish it. I cut WAYYY down and eliminate things because I am DONE. Many years, I have finished the school year in early April. So maybe you might just plan on doing that. Note: We did often do a little math during summers else she would lose it. And I did require 30 minutes of reading every day. But that's all, until I decided I felt like starting the new school year.

(I say the following as a former Catholic and current United Methodist. No disrespect intended. Just info I find helpful.) One thing that is rather different in the Catholic culture is that they ask Mary and the saints to pray for them a lot. Like, a lot of their prayers include "pray for us" directed at these (dead) people like Mary and various saints. I have been told that it is just like when you (Protestant) ask your friends or other people to pray for you. It's the same thing. And really, I suppose it is, if you truly believe that Mary and the saints have passed on to life eternal. And you are just asking them to pray for you. Sometimes this is misunderstood as worshipping Mary and the saints, but it is not. It is recognizing their eternal life and asking them to pray for you. I hope you find that helpful. I have to remind myself of it periodically because it's just so different from the United Methodist culture. They will also likely have to memorize prayers like the "Hail Mary" if they do the rosary a lot (sounds like they might since there are altars and rosaries in every room.) The words from "Hail Mary" are actually quite Biblical, I learned recently. "Hail Mary, Full of Grace" is what the angel said to Mary when he told her she was going to have a baby. You can look up where the wording comes from if you want. And the "Hail Mary" is ultimately another "pray for us" prayer. The Catholic culture is certainly different from a Protestant one, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal. We're all Christians.
