Large Family Learning : CHICKENS
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/p/chickens.html
On February 20, 2014 we got our first ever chickens. We had ordered 15 day-old pullets from Cackle Hatchery. They sent an extra so we received a total of 16 baby chicks: 5 Cinnamon Queens, 5 Silver-Laced Wyandottes, and 6 Barred Plymouth Rocks. We're enjoying seeing them grow. One of our Cinnamon Queen babies. I'm linking up my chicken posts here for easy reference. Below that are some of my other favorite chicken links. Week 1, Part 1: In Which We Are Introduced. Week 1, Part 2: Crazy Chicken Lady Photos.

Large Family Learning : Book Review: A Thomas Jefferson Education
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/2011/01/book-review-thomas-jefferson-education.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Book Review: A Thomas Jefferson Education. Some time ago I read A Thomas Jefferson Education. By Oliver DeMille. I've been meaning to review this for a friend, to whom I must apologize for taking sooo long! Why I Don't Do TJEd. The Making of a University. From Times and Seasons. In other words, it's somewhat misleading to say that the method of educating DeMille promotes is a "Thomas Jefferson" education, since Thomas Jefferson himself did not get something akin to it until he ...

Large Family Learning : Book Review: The Story of the Romans by H. A. Guerber
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/2014/04/book-review-story-of-romans-by-h-guerber.html
Thursday, April 10, 2014. Book Review: The Story of the Romans by H. A. Guerber. Ideally, I'd write a little something at least about every book just after I finished it, when it's freshest in my mind. But that doesn't happen. However, I did just finish The Story of the Romans. By H A. Guerber, and happen to have a little time to write about it. I am also reading and enjoying Augustus Caesar's World. Does The Story of the Romans. There are more things than these to discuss in the book, but these jumped o...

Large Family Learning : Book Review: Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/2015/02/book-review-augustus-caesars-world-by.html
Saturday, February 14, 2015. Book Review: Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster. I read Augustus Caesar's World. In 2014. This was the first of Genevieve Foster's books that I completed, although I'd read portions of others. Since then, I've also finished George Washington's World. And Abraham Lincoln's World. I plan to review at least Abraham Lincoln's World. Eventually, but I'll begin with this one because I'd already written a partial review in draft form. I discovered Augustus Caesar's World.

Large Family Learning : What Are We, Anyway? (Labels We Wear)
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/2009/12/what-are-we-anyway-stay-at-home.html
Monday, December 28, 2009. What Are We, Anyway? It's interesting to observe a few things about the way women who stay at home are and have been referred to. The way we talk about things says a lot about how we view them. Stay at home mom" is a label that would be redundant in a culture where the vast majority of moms stayed home. So it's a reflection of our culture, and our times. It wasn't something that was used until relatively recently in history. For one thing it suggests that she stays home. Al...

Large Family Learning : Book Review: Minn of the Mississippi
http://www.largefamilylearning.com/2015/03/book-review-minn-of-mississippi.html
Thursday, March 5, 2015. Book Review: Minn of the Mississippi. I recently finished reading Minn of the Mississippi. By Holling Clancy Holling, aloud to the children. When we started, I had everyone sit in on it (ages 2-13 at the time), but by the end I wasn't insisting that my older two be part of it - decided they could read it later if they wanted to. But it was part of school for Zion, my 4th/5th grader. Because there was what seemed on a somewhat casual perusal to be significantly more of that sort o...

Large Family Learning : 2014-2015 Not Back-to-School Photos

Saturday, November 1, 2014. 2014-2015 Not Back-to-School Photos. Well, now that it's November, I guess it's finally time to get back to school. Joking. :) The children have been working hard for quite some time. I took "not" back-to-school photos a while ago, but hadn't gotten around to posting them. Our first "official" week of school started September 14. (But that's a Sunday, you say? We have a new student this year. :). Abraham had a little trouble smiling on request. But he was still cute. I finally...

Saturday, April 14, 2012. Ultimate Blog Party 2012! It's time for the Ultimate Blog Party 2012! Hi, I'm Amber. Welcome to The Mommy Earth! Was the first year I joined in on the party, on the very last day, so I'm hoping to be more involved this time. I'm a mother to 6 children, ages infant through 12 years old. I stay home with them and homeschool them. Here's a picture of all of my children, taken last Thanksgiving. Aren't they precious? I included some family photos on last year's UBP post. I am PR fri...
