Even though I now travel with a entourage of snotty kleenex balls clustered about my feet, a netty pot hanging out of my back pocket while hooked up to an airborne drip, I am boarding a plane in a matter of hours to fly south high above the eastern seaboard to our Sunshine State. Me. Alone. This is a milestone event in our house, only the third overnight trip for me, solo, in the last almost eight years, and the longest one yet; I'll be gone for three nights. As I was putting Fluffy

Our family likes to use hands-on activities to enhance our learning. Some of our favorite activities are: Building maps. From salt dough maps to edible maps made from cookie dough, seeing the topography of a continent, country or state really makes your studies come alive and provides an excellent visual aid for exploring geography. Creating games. Bingo, matching, and Go Fish are all games that lend themselves easily to almost any topic. Tying a magnet to a dowel rod with twine makes a simp

ODonnellWeb regular JJ wrote a guest post at Parenting Beyond Belief. The subject, not surprisingly, is secular homeschoolers. ODonnellWeb gets a shout out, as does many of the other usual suspects.

ARGH!! Blogger hates me today.

Rawls and an anti-abortion argument. One man and a prediction. Some links. The “new” Insight dashboard … I have to say on the old Insight (and I hear on the Prius as well) the instantaneous mileage feedback’s ability to optimize one’s driving habits does as much if not more for mileage than the technology in the car. A collapse. Afghan news. Is outrage? A plug for the homeschooling crowd? Adult stem cells. The non-primacy of the desert. Meditation and the Christian life (here too) … ah, try hes

Friday Highlights November 21st, 2008 Good morning. Rawls and an anti-abortion argument. One man and a prediction. Some links.

Concerned about the number of overweight people in Oklahoma, a Democrat lawmaker wants every student sixteen years and younger to be weighed, measured, and their BMI calculated - including homeschool kids. Students in public schools would be checked during the school year. Arrangements would be made for homeschooled students also to be screened, Morrissette said. However, if parents don't work

Do people actually watch these wacko women? I'd say it's Joy Behar who's demented. To think she makes big bucks - and that people tune in - and that the audience laughs with gusto. So much for tolerance. . . .

You think YOUR secular kids face some tricky issues in Christian-branded society? Ha! Picture a homeschooling family. Do you see a bible in the picture, prominent in the foreground — perhaps on the kitchen table around which six or seven modestly-dressed children do their lessons, while their denim-jumpered mother bakes bread and solemnly applies her righteous rod to strays? Kathleen Parker’s column this week about the GOP might as well be about homeschooling: To be more specific, the evang

My son’s history class took a field trip to Orlando to see the Medieval Times. Since Sir Husband will never take me, I decided I needed to tag along. After all I am royalty and I will feel right at home. Let’s start with a photo to help you put things into perspective. Here is the Queen and her royal son. Now keep that image in your head. The first thing we did was tour my the village. We got to see the Blacksmith. Remind me to make him work harder. I can tell he is faking it here.
