winter birds - mermaids and moss
http://mermaidsandmoss.typepad.com/mermaids-and-moss/2015/02/winter-birds.html
Laquo; paintings for sale. Winter walks ». February 17, 2015. Hoping to make some little winter birds happy, I recently bought this bird feeder. Ive attached it to our back kitchen door. Weve had a few visits, but not many. I think those little birds quickly became aware of our resident bird watcher Bear. Im sure hes been throwing himself against the door whenever a bird stops by to nibble. You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed. The comments to this entry are closed.

What up Holmes!: "Plop"
http://jeholmes.blogspot.com/2012/09/plop.html
Thursday, September 6, 2012. So there are several methods of homeschooling. They range from school at home methods where you mimic what public schools do, methods that are completely child-led, the unit study method where you pick a topic and learn all you can from that one subject for the day.week.or whatever you choose! The one thing these methods have in common is that the child's interests lead the game plan and reading is VERY important. Our "plop" items for the day. Stringing her book together.

What up Holmes!: School with some new concepts
http://jeholmes.blogspot.com/2012/09/school-with-some-new-concepts.html
Tuesday, September 11, 2012. School with some new concepts. Today we brought out some fun educational toys my sister-in-law handed down to us. The names escape me at the moment, but they were pretty cool! This one was perfect for SD to work with colors, sorting, and shape review. DD got a kick out of replicating the movements of this directional puzzle. It gave us plenty of opportunity to talk about directions throughout the rest of the day:). One of their favorites.Handwriting Without Tears! Of just say...

http://jeholmes.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2012. One of THE best school days so far this year! Today was my kind of school day. It flowed nicely, I watched for cues that the kiddos were done with an activity, and we did music.LOTS of music which is always a great thing for us. Shadow shapes for definite success since they both know their shapes. The b's on the bus go b-b-b, b-b-b, b-b-b." - This was my favorite random mommy-made-up-school-thing-in-the-car-one-day and now they ask for the song all the time! Yay for spirit weeks!

What up Holmes!: When Your World Shifts and Finding Your Way
http://jeholmes.blogspot.com/2012/09/when-your-world-shifts-and-finding-your.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2012. When Your World Shifts and Finding Your Way. Now that I'm truly embracing the fact that I am homeschooling my children, I can feel a huge shift in my world. Half of the children in my mommy groups have started Kindergarten and we're all finding what activities work for our children and those that don't. So what does this mean for me, a new homeschooling mom? 1 Seek comfort through prayer. 2 Seek out a friend to help me manage my emotions and hash out my schedule. Let me know w...
