Not the most promising sign...

I have been preparing this week for homeschooling, which begins in less than two weeks, by my calculations. Tonight, as I was reading through a book I purchased to help me teach AJ to read (Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons), I actually started to get excited that AJ is moving beyond colors, letters and numbers.

Eager to share with him what we'd be doing for school this year, I pulled him into my lap to show him the book and was explaining to him that this is what we were going to be learning this year. To which he replied with the sweetest smile ever, "Mama, I don't want to learn to read. I just want to watch tv, play my video games and pick my boogers."

That's my boy. Yessiree.

I have been homeschooling for 7 ((maybe 8))years now.....This summer my 12 year old daughter said..."Can I do math? What do people do when they are not in school?" I found it all very encouraging. Then some one turned the TV on and that was the end of that...

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
