We’ve finally started doing something in our home that I’ve wanted to try for a long time. (I was originally inspired by Molly at Counter Cultural Mom.)We’re going to work on learning one hymn per week. I’m printing out a copy of the words for the kids’ memory notebooks. (Which are getting SLOWLY put together.) …
It’s time for another Weekly Wrap Up at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers and I am struggling to think of what to share. We did start our Tapestry of Grace studies this week. The little ones and I read one book about St. Valentine and another called Brigid’s Cloak. We all began listening to an audio book …
Check out my review of Happy Phonics at The Curriculum Choice.
I do not know a single person who says that they want to be unhealthy. Yet there are many people who do not take care of their bodies properly by eating right and exercising. I think that many of us know we “should” eat better, but either don’t know how to begin or just put …
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 …

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?) My laptop is my fairly constant companion these days, and I really don’t know how I managed without it. I love making color-coded chore charts and schedules on the computer. I’ve converted to a mostly …
It looks like another week has passed. I did fairly well on last week’s list. I’m carrying over a couple of items to this week’s list. Write review of Studypod. Iron ALL the clothes waiting in the ironing line! Organize computer files. Set up shared folders for network. Mount wall lights in kids’ rooms. Do …
