Today was our first day to do full-blown school since Thanksgiving break. I wrote several weeks ago that we’ve change our school calendar to three 12-week terms with extended breaks between each term. This school calendar change made our winter break a much-needed 6-week holiday! Our New Assignment Sheets Today marked the beginning our second 12-week term of the school year. And with our new schedule, I decided to plan a little differently. Instead of planning out lessons a week at a time, I d

We started the day off with marathon grocery shopping; that is, Annabelle drives our shopping cart up and down the aisles of our market, while I talk to her (or myself) about what it is we’ll need to pick up for the rest of the week.

Some 1.5 million children — 2.9 percent of the school-aged population — were homeschooled in 2007, according to a Department of Education survey (available here in pdf). That’s up 74 percent from 1999. Moral or religious issues and concerns about the public school environment remain leading reasons parents choose to teach their children at home.

I’ve been meaning to tell you more in depth about Yummy PLR for a little while now and am just now getting around to it. (Sorry!) Got a quick question for you: When was the last time you searched online for a recipe? I did twice just in the last week, and my son searched for a recipe last week too (he loves to cook and is our resident baker and dessert guy). I’m betting you have searched for recipes too. Your target market probably loves recipes and foodie articles. I mean, who doesn’t eat?
