Rachel's Great Idea

So the last few evenings I have been doing something really embarassing with my time.  And I am going to admit it on here, even though I avoided saying exactly what it was on my facebook.

I have been reading Baby-sitters Club blogs.  I can't help it.  I'm a fan of the BSC on facebook, and someone linked to their blog, which was nice, but had just started so there wasn't much to read.  But her blog linked to another blog, which of course linked to other blogs and so on and so forth. 

As if that isn't pathetic enough, I read almost all of one blog (that was 3-4 years old) that night, but I skipped over the ones that were reviewing the books I either had not read, or could not remember reading.  After all I don't want to spoil the surprise.  Yes, you read that right.  The surprise.  These are books that give away half the plot on the back and always end happily ever after.  Oh yeah and they were written for like 9 year olds.  But I still plan on reading them *someday* and don't want to know what happens.

If you have read all of my entries, you know that I am collecting all of the books up.  I was off to an excellent start, but since moving out and having restart paying bills, finishing that collection (or the Animorphs for my husband) isn't a priority, when there is debt to be paid and babies to have inserted in my uterus.  Of course I can't just have books sitting around on my bookshelf not being read.  Oh wait I do that anyways.  So I read them all.  And now I decided to start a BSC blog like all those other ladies that loved the books, so I will probably reread them again in the near future.  The other thing this lead me to do is to embarrassing to talk about, but at some point I am sure I will, because secrets are not really my thing...

    You know what's awesome about revealing secret obsessions? More than likely, there will be a bunch of other people who feel the same way. :D I used to read the BSC books when I was little and have actually been wanting to read some of them again. I saw a used copy sitting on a shelf in a bookstore on our honeymoon and I was really tempted to pick it up, but didn't for some reason.

    I also was super into the Sweet Valley books and TV show. :p

    I love the BSC books, but reading them as an adult its like... where the heck are these girls parents as they are wandering around NYC? And why is Mallory not allowed to wear cool clothes, but she can have a boyfriend, who I am pretty sure she kissed? If you ever want to read them, I have like the first 16, most of the Super Specials, and lots of the Mysteries :P

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children.  This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children.  Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
