The Hillbilly Housewife- I like the old page best.
Money Saving Mom- My all time favorite ever!

The Happy Housewife- The Itch to Pitch (gotta love that line)
simple mom- Spring cleaning
These are both older posts, but they apply to my life right now. I feel the walls closing in on me and I'm ready to get rid of everything (clutter, useful items, everything!) I told Cory to be careful not to sit still- if he does, I may send him to the thrift shop!
A Eureka Moment
When you home school you have days of doubt... Are we covering enough? Should we be doing more written work? Are they listening? Are they really learning anything?
We have been covering Early American history this year. We're reading Joy Hakim's A History of Us. As a family we're watching Drive Thru History America and listening to an audio version of Johnny Tremain (I was too lazy to read it aloud). Missy is copying the Preamble for handwriting. This stuff is great (entertaining), but is it enough to really learn?
Last night we had a eureka moment. We watched Liberty's Kids and Missy argued with the TV about the "historical inaccuracies" in the program. To top it off, she was correct (according to Johnny Tremain). Yipee, she is listening!
Liberty's Kids really is a good animated series. The animation isn't great (compared to modern Disney), but the story was very well-written. Jeromebob even sat still and watched it. We were able to rent it from Blockbuster, but I'd like to buy it sometime in the future, if I can find a used copy.

Muthering Heights- Her skirt story is so funny and just like something that would happen to me!
Graditude
I am so grateful to have a husband who not only can work with his hands, but is excited to take the time from his busy project list to make a special surprise for Missy Kissy. This is a guitar holder he made her this weekend. The red hooks hold her guitar and the slot above is for her music books.

Rosegate Harbour- This is great homeschooling resource, especially for printing books.
A Wise Woman Builds Her Home- I love the artwork on this site. It makes me want to hang up all the Sandra Kuck pictures I have sitting in my closet. Also March 2nd's post is a great reminder for me.
Science Day
Daddy was in charge of science day a few weeks ago. They did all kinds of fun things.
Like blowing up a volcano...
Blowing up water...
Blowing up light bulbs...
I'm sure Missy learned lots-
She's still talking about how to test a 9 volt battery with your tongue.
