More Fun With Books…Banned Books
We’re still fighting off whatever uck has gone around. It comes and goes and has been around for weeks. I decided we should take today slow and just hang out. We still have quite a few books from the library from the 1001 Children’s Books You Must Read Before Growing Up that we haven’t read … Continue reading
Gauntlet Thrown
So last week the kids were taking guesses as to how many books I could read if I had nothing else to do. I tried to point out how unlikely that situation was – even if I ignored laundry and vacuuming, there are still kids to feed and places to go. They decided on a … Continue reading
100+ Books In A Year Reading Challenge 2012
Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m going to do my best. I’m probably getting a bit too confident based on eight days at the beach, which also explains a lot of what I’ve read so far. But the best I can do is try – and it’s always good to be an example for the kids, … Continue reading

On The Road, Day 17, 18, 19: Stamford, CT, aka Grandpa’s House
We’re here. We made it. Think big house, more cousins than a small village, some of them having friends over, aunts, uncles, swimming pool, capture the flag, and scavenger hunts. Swim, swim, swim from breakfast ’til bed with breaks in between to play. We’ve been so busy we haven’t posted. The first few days were … Continue reading
Happy MLK Day
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 … Continue reading
