The year marches on. Soon November will be over and the last month of the year will commence. I need my children to really get the pedal pressed all the way to the floor and go, go, go! It’s been slow, and it’s always, “I will later” and then not. Also I still need funds [...]
I’ve been working with my two oldest to get them using blogs to write things about their schooling. It’s not always easy to get them doing things, and I figured this would help them. Well, it did and didn’t. One thing it did that is BAD is makes them think they can be on the [...]

Today begins a more full start of our home schooling. Having two eldest write a lot on computer. Need to get them at the kitchen table with paper, pencils, pens and have them work on a more artistic rendering of their handwriting, and get them more comfortable with a cursive version of writing. My middle [...]
Spring and the coming summer ALWAYS make me feel more into “schooling” for some reason, as does the Christmas Season, which is kind of strange when I think about it. Anyhow, I do know somewhat where we live has to do with it, the weather and seasons, Spring & Summer very hot and sunny, or [...]
I realized today that I haven’t written here since December 2009. Whoops! Things have been busy, trying to keep the house clean, updating some things in the still not finished kitchen.

We just purchased a Family Membership at Atlanta’s High Museum. I’ve wanted to do this over the past several years to enjoy myself, and also to show art to my children as part of their education and also to learn to enjoy it fully in their lives. What made me do it finally and fully [...]
Education isn’t only book learning, and also isn’t just stuff that is in a book that says must be taught. It’s all of life and that’s my focus this week, getting stuff DONE, and getting the children to see that it can be done as a team, each doing their part makes it all go [...]
We haven’t done any super official schooling this week, trying to catch up from last week’s sadness still, and getting paid, going out for errands over the weekend. Couple all that with my glasses breaking and getting a new eye exam to get contacts/glasses (since my prescription was overly old) suddenly … and things are [...]
On Saturday it was noticed that our eldest cat, Princess Sonia, 16-years old, wasn’t doing so well, and then seemed to do a bit better and then on Sunday morning was the same and progressed then to worse and eventually died. We all had heavy hearts, with Victoria and me being outwardly emotive and overwrought [...]
