I'm sorry, but it's already gone. I should've updated the post.

If it isn't too late and you haven't sent it on to a friend, I'd love to have it.

Awww how refreshing a week with church can be. I love putting school together for the next year although time consuming. Sadly I haven't heard of any of the writing material you mentioned so I'm not much help with your question of if you have enough. It sounds though that you are very prepared. :)

I love relaxing weeks. Getting things in order for school is always very time consuming. Good luck on fine tuning your writing curriculum.

Pinterest looks like it would be very useful! I clicked on the "request an invite" button above your page. Does the request go to you, or to Pinterest? I'd like an invite! :)

I like your page. Those cinnamon roll pancakes look like something I'd like to try too. :)

Hope you are having a good day!

I originally started out with Saxon. I personally loved it in high school, but we needed something else for my daughter. Thanks for the visit.

I think if I didn't love Classical schooling so much, I'd do CM. But I do like a lot of CM for the younger years. There's so many good things out there that it's hard to choose sometimes. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for visiting my blog from Hip Homeschool Hop also. :)
We rely on Saxon Math and Apologia a lot these days. I've also been using Joy Hakim's History of US books as "spine texts" for history.

I really like Rainbow Resources also. Their catalog is a resource by itself. It's a great place to get ideas. They've always shipped things out quickly, also.

Hope your day is going well! :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog from the Hip Homeschool Hop!

I added you to my Google Reader... Can't live without my Google Reader :)

We're more Charlotte Mason but there are some Classical aspects that I incorporate into our homeschooling.

Thanks for visiting. Everything I've learned, I've learned from google. :) I just end up searching for what I want. It's pretty easy once you get started.

Thanks for the visit. I looked over the unit studies by Amanda Bennett. I've heard of her before but had never looked at one before. They look fun.

I'll try the bag balm. I think I have some somewhere in the house. I've got to get my fingers better. Thanks for visiting.

texasrachel — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:56:04 -0000

Nope. It never ever ever ends. I've just had to accept that and feel good that it's the clean clothes monster instead of the dirty clothes monster. It's an improvement.

texasrachel — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:55:06 -0000

I'm going to buy some super glue in the morning. Hopefully it'll help. Thanks for the hint.

The all night nursing has been driving me crazy so I pretty much have been trying to wean for the past few months. lol. It takes time. I finally moved to another bedroom and just told Oliver mommy's milk was gone, but he could have milk in a sippy. It's worked so far.

I can't stop my little one from nursing! She'll be 3 in August! She doesn't nurse very often any more, but when we're in bed she does.
I have a clean clothes monster, too. I don't really know what to do with them all.
Cute about your son. My girls have dressed up my boys as fairies before, but they're still as manly as can be. Spikes on his head like a dinosaur!

Re: What

briana jeffers — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:23:49 -0000

Good stuff! I'm checking out your literature resources. We are kinda weak in that area.

briana jeffers — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:18:43 -0000

Oh, boy! to your photo. Little guys are so funny.

Hey, for the cracks, I use super glue. Just put a nice coating of the glue over the crack and it should stay on long enough to protect your skin and let it heal. I have to do this once in awhile, especially after weeding without gloves. Just be careful not to touch anything for about 20-30 minutes after you put the glue on!

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Re: Writing Programs

Orange Marmalade Mama — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:37:40 -0000

Don't you love how the oldest gets to be the guinea pig for all programs. I should write out a list of all we've tried with my oldest - I'm not sure if blogger posts have a character limit, but I might reach it with my list!! I hope your choices work well for you this year!

Re: Using blogger themes, sidebar tags

Orange Marmalade Mama — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 20:33:08 -0000

I love your blog, mama!! Thanks for the tips. I just updated my theme, but I'm hoping to learn more about design this summer. Although, I really should be spending the time for my college classes! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a great school year!

For your fingers get Bag Balm! The stuff is a miracle. I used it while nursing and my husband just started to use it on his heels as he is having the same issue you are with your fingers. Glad you are getting some help with those dishes! I hear ya about those clean clothes. Mine usually end up folded on top of the washer until I can't stack them any higher w/o them falling over"0
Little boys are SO fun!! When my DD was little she would want to put on makeup with me and younger had to join in too:)
