Its Either Sailboats or Wind - Mother Goose Time

Have I ever mentioned before that I am A WRECK without a schedule. Yeah, I am sure I have, many, many, many times. Anyways, I had a pretty good run of getting everything done, then the boys I baby-sit started coming to my house, throwing off the routine I had gotten into (although I really prefer it this way). After that my mom came to visit for 3 weeks (YAY!). During the time my mom was here, free lunch at the park started. Needless to say my house is a mess and Mother Goose Time is not being done daily and blogging isn't being done regularly. Okay, that is the end of my explanation/excuse.

*Confession: I lost the Teacher's Guide to Alphabet Island, between bringing it back and forth from baby-sitting and completely cleaning out my homeschooling cupboard I have no idea where it went. So none of the Alphabet Island activities will have names anymore unless I find the guide.*

This is the set-up for the Invitation to Create. The boys were making Sailboats.

Poor Little Guy gets so frustrated because his crafts/art never looks as good as the littler boys' because I pretty much still do their projects since I don't trust them with scissors at all.

You know what is a gross activity with small children? Blowing papers around with straws. They neither notice or care about the copious amounts of saliva spewing from their mouths. But it is a fun science game, so until it got to gross they had fun!

I believe this day was either wind, or sailboats. Either way I know the boys had a lot of fun chasing around/spitting on the paper scraps, and I love the sailboats.

Mother Goose Time is given to us free of charge in exchange for our honest opinions and experiences.

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

Things That Annoy Infertile Girls (or Maybe Just Me?) - Flashback Friday

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."
