This week for Works for Me Wednesday I have another one of those tips that seem so obvious and yet took me a while to think of. We all like to keep various papers and notes handy so that we know where they are. A lot of people have chosen to hang everything on their …
It’s time for another Weekly Wrap Up at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers. I’m not going to make this another listing of curriculum. That would be time consuming. (Not to mention boring for you.) So I’ll just summarize some of the things we’re learning. (And a lot of them aren’t from a book.) First, we started our …
You may be wondering what in the world is a Studypod? Is it like an iPod for studying? (Hmm. That would be a nice review item. If anyone has an iPod they’d like me to review, that would be great. Especially an iTouch.) But I digress. A Studypod is a book holder designed especially for …
I’ve shared several times about our homeschool book club. It is my older children’s favorite homeschool activity. My son and daughter kept asking me when we are starting book club. Finally this week we got together at the park, and while the kids played, the mothers planned out our monthly book club projects. Here is …
I love high-tech gadgets. If I had more disposable income I’m sure I’d have more gadgets. (Can you say i-phone?)

Yesterday I began First Language Lessons with my 2nd grade son. This is my all-time favorite English resource. Since I love it so much and it was on my mind, I decided to make it the topic of my latest review on The Curriculum Choice. I’m not posting the review here, so you’ll have to …
Salads have never been a part of our typical menu. One of the reasons is that the ingredients are expensive. Another reason is I’m lazy about making salads. (And then those expensive vegetables go bad in the refrigerator. That makes the salad even more expensive!) But, I know that they are very good for us. …
It looks like I’ve missed a week (or maybe 2) for To-Do Tuesday. I have found it really helpful making a list for everyone to see. I makes me feel more accountable to actually complete the items on my list! So, here’s this week’s list. Read Sue Patrick’s Workbox System and decide how to implement. …
