http://homeschoolinginthemitten.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-christmas-abc-book.html
Gardening in the Mitten. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. The Christmas ABC Book. I should probably start out by saying that this is not an unbiased review of The Christmas ABC Book.

Gardening in the Mitten. Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Relaxed Homeschooling, Our Way. It's been a few months since I've posted here. It's been one of those periods of our homeschooling life in which we've made adjustments, learned to do things a new way. Maybe I should back up, just a little. And I realized, around December or so, that what we were doing was not meeting those goals. My kids were not excited to begin the school day. Here they were, working in workbook after workbook, spewing some...I am ...

Homeschooling in the Mitten: October 2012
http://homeschoolinginthemitten.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Gardening in the Mitten. Friday, October 5, 2012. This is one of those homeschooling issues that can drive you crazy, if you let it. There are SO MANY options out there for homeschool curricula. You can choose an all-in-one, complete curriculum, packaged up and shipped right to your door. You can pick different curricula by subject matter, using one company's offerings for one subject, and another company's for something else. Or maybe you'll custom design your curriculum every year. Many of them are Chr...

http://homeschoolinginthemitten.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Gardening in the Mitten. Thursday, June 21, 2012. It's been quiet here on the blog for the past few weeks. Between a few big work projects I've got going, and summer vacation starting (yay!
