I've seen this link up here and there and haven't ever participated before. But now, I'm sitting here avoiding the laundry and sink full of dishes, and proud that I accomplished something homeschool related, so I want to shout it out! LOL In my life this week…
There has been much chaos. LOL Redoing a bedroom, a spastic refrigerator, and nothing in its usual place. This is not good for for my mind, which operates so much better when there is not clutter!
In our homeschool this week…
We are getting there! I came back from the conference, as always, all inspired but with the realization that some of the inspiration was a little idealistic. It's good to be aware of that now! I have gotten our schedule put together and the first six weeks planned out. I'm DELIGHTED with this!
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
This is a very practical tip, but it has helped me. Take your worktexts that have tear out pages to an office supply store. For about $3 per book, they can spiral bind them and VOILA no more loose pages covering every flat surface in the house. At the end of the year, you've got a nice completed book to file away.
I am inspired by…
Remember I just got home from a homeschool conference. Right now I am inspired by Sally Clarkson. I bought a few of her workshops on CD at the conference. She just encourages me so much!
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
The main place we are going these days is Lowe's. I think I have used an entire tank of gas going to Lowe's and back. It will be awesome (and oh yes, there will be pictures) when it's done!
My favorite thing this week was…
Last night. I looked at my planner and saw plans written through all of September. Makes me so happy! And I'm also going to have to throw in that the meal I had last night for my birthday might have been my other favorite thing. YUMMY~!!
What’s working/not working for us…
I am loving Heart of Dakota curriculum and it worked so well for us last year.
Questions/thoughts I have…
How on earth am I going to take the curriculum that I loved so much last year for two children and split it into three children doing their own? We'll see ...
And the mail just got here and it's time to pick up my daughter and I suppose I shouldn't avoid the laundry any longer because I think it's giving me the evil eye, so I'll close for now!

Sally Clarkson is the absolute BEST!! I borrowed some audio CDs from a friend who bought them at a Whole Hearted Weekend conference and was so inspired to be a better mom after listening to them. I asked Sally at the conference if she had any of her CDs there, and she said no, but they'll soon be available on itunes for 99 cents!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!!!
