Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Life Got In the Way. So, it probably doesn't matter if I say that I always intended to start blogging again. I have lots of post titles stored away in the back of my mind. I thought about it all the time. I missed it terribly. My life goes through wonderful periods of peace. I'll be going along, have everything in a nice, comfy routine, and BAM! I get smacked upside the head with complete and total life change. So, I guess what ...

Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. Wednesday, February 8, 2012. The kids and I recently needed a day of running wild. After finishing up a week of early mornings, late nights, missed naps, and long trips in the car, we just needed to move. Oh, the wonders of God's creation! Here are some of the pictures I took that day. I always take too many. Whenever we visit the Gardens, the kids run,. The kids love to throw rocks in the fish pond.

Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. Thursday, August 9, 2012. To love, to be understood, that is the thing. Oh, yes. That is certainly the thing. These days, my mornings are filled with precious moments with Pumpkin. He and I are the early risers, and I am relishing every moment with him, just the two of us. It has become our habit to rock together and read every issue of Your Big Backyard. These days, my crockpot is working overtime as I make tons of homemade stock from scraps. These days...

Mom in a Box: September 2011
http://mommyinabox.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. Monday, September 26, 2011. As a parent, I'm always on the hunt for kid's music that doesn't make me want to puncture my eardrums with a q-tip. Sometimes it's hard to find that balance of appropriate content and musical satisfaction, especially these days. I like a lot of acoustic guitar, quirky lyrics and a melody that's easy to to hum (my brother calls it "folky girly music"). I just stumbled across an album called Fascinating Creatures.

A father and son attached an iPhone to a weather balloon and released it with the video rolling. Once it descended, they located it with the GPS in the iPhone. Awesome. We are learning about gravity this week, and so it came to mind. Enjoy! Mom In a Box. Monday, October 3, 2011. Knitted Scarf: A Project of Firsts. For it ages ago and have just...

http://mommyinabox.blogspot.com/p/homeschool.html
Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. When we started our homeschool adventure, I was all caught up in choosing the right curriculum and making the perfect school. I made up lesson plans, lined out every part of our day, had to-do lists, field trips planned, everything. And you know what? I stepped back and took a hard look at my motives, and I found that I was really motivated by the idea of what I. Goals for Our Homeschool:.

Mom in a Box: Curriculum
http://mommyinabox.blogspot.com/p/curriculum.html
Mom in a Box. Act Like You Know What You're Doing. This list is a work in progress! I use this for scope and sequence, plus ideas of how to make phonics more "hands-on" for my kinesthetic learner. Darling loves these computer games and asks to play them every day. She loves these games so much, I let her "earn" minutes to play when she completes other lessons. These are phonics and alphabet games that Doodlebug enjoys. The games are easier for her to do than ReadingEggs. Harriet Taylor Treadwell Readers.
