Homeschooling Kindergarten: Phonics & Reading
As I shared in an earlier post, we have jumped into Classical Conversations for the general base of our homeschooling curriculum. In the younger years, we also need to teach reading and math. (I love watching kids learn to read – a whole new world opens up to them!) Pre-Reading My favorite, favorite tool for introducing phonics sounds is a dvd called Leapfrog Letter Factory. My kids entertain me because they correct ME when I get the sounds wrong. Can we say mommy is a tad bit tone deaf? My littlest watches the dvd each day (give or take) while my older one works on his reading work. She’s getting…

Homeschooling: Taking The Plunge With Classical Conversations
Yes, we have joined the growing number of folks who are choosing to homeschool. We chose it for a myriad of reasons, but it started with wanting to protect my tender-hearted redhead. With a little girl down the street coming home from kindergarten with black eyes from the playground, and the administration turning a blind eye to it, I knew my sweet boy would have TARGET written all over him. After researching several different programs (there is a vast number of choices!!), we have landed on several that work well for our family. In this first post, I want to share about Classical Conversations, and how to get started in…

The Road Less Traveled During Pregnancy
I had a great ob doctor for my first two deliveries. He wasn’t quick on the interventions, and I liked his balanced approach. Even before all the debate about get-the-flu-vaccine-or-not, he recommended against it, because there wasn’t enough testing down on preggo mamas and babies. Then we moved and I got pregnant with baby #3. Rather than try to find a new ob and have to muddle through all their philosophies, I decided to investigate the midwife route. It helped that Samaritan’s Ministries, our version of health insurance, would waive our out-of-pocket if we used a midwife/birthing center. I started asking around and quickly came across a birthing center…
