Yup, I’m about a week behind posting. But just had to hop on to say that it’s cracking me up that my children have been glued to CNN for about 2 hours. In a yelling, leaping, chanting type way usually reserved for sporting events. Wohoo! Does going to rallies and learning about the electoral college […]

Little Activist

In the evening, grandma and I took D to an Obama rally. Women for Obama sponsored a rally to turn Arizona blue.

Happy MLK Day

January 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Today is a great example of what can be done without a curriculum. So many people equate no curriculum with no learning, no plan with nothing getting accomplished. While it’s possible to say our kids are never learning, it is equally true to say they are always learning. We don’t feel that our children need […]

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

September 5th, 2007 · No Comments

We received a CD from a friend’s birthday party recently. It had some goodies and somethings I would have been happier never having played in this house (I now have a 2 yo walking around singing, “I’m a barbie girl, in a barbie world.”) One of the definite goodies was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun […]
