Seeking Contentment: Homeschooling Middle School
http://itsmelanie.blogspot.com/2014/01/homeschooling-middle-school.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. I posted what the oldest does for school a couple of weeks ago. I also have a middle schooler, and one in elementary, and thought I'd share what they're doing, both for my future reference, and for the fun of it! The middle one is in seventh grade! Not quite sure how that happened so fast! Schooling this one is definitely different from schooling her older sister. The curriculum is mostly the same, but the methods are not! She is also using Heart of Dakota. She also uses IEW.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014. And then THIS happened. I bragged on the middle one last week. This week it's time for the oldest. This girl has the strongest work ethic! I'm not really sure how that happened! She works hard, regularly, at lots of things. She spends half of her days on Wednesdays making meals at church. She and her father deliver meals to a couple of homebound people every week. She has developed relationships with these ladies and is blessed by them and is a blessing to them. Days of Our Lives.

Seeking Contentment: Finding What They Love and Do Well
http://itsmelanie.blogspot.com/2014/03/finding-what-they-love-and-do-well.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Finding What They Love and Do Well. I think it's hard to be the middle one, especially when the middle and oldest are both girls. Especially when the oldest one has an ability that is noticeable. I think the middle one tends to live in the shadow of the oldest one. This is really a bit ridiculous, especially in my family, because my oldest and middle are NIGHT AND DAY. Seriously. A new black belt! I'm not saying "everyone go out right now and enroll your child in Taekwondo! I lov...

Saturday, December 24, 2011. Friday, December 2, 2011. Home Again, and Giggling. First, thank you all for the concern and prayers regarding my last post. I really am doing okay, it's just that some days are hard. I know you all know what I mean. We got home safely, and I really just have a minute to post, but I am totally giggling and have to share. Not gonna happen. Sorry, nephew. Now I can't stop giggling at the Christmas/Halloween tree. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Days of Our Lives. Show Us The World.

Thursday, July 26, 2012. The Latest Round of Excuses. It seems like the sole purpose of my blog lately is to list my excuses for not blogging. It is almost to the point where I'm having to make more effort to come up with excuses than it would to just blog. So here we go. The stuff is all GOOD. VBS, trips to visit family, camps, appointments, classes. Oh, and let's throw a major home improvement project into the mix, because we wouldn't want to take a chance on life being boring. Days of Our Lives.

Of Guns and Governments. Today, in following a story link. That being said, there are many people today, (myself included), who have a deep, (and a legitimate), distrust of the government. Even if the government is not specifically intending to do so, it is the nature of large governments that this occurs. This co...

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. I remember as a kid, we drove several times between Nashville, TN and Trinity, TX. It was a long drive, and as the oldest child, being in the back seat with the little brother and little sister wasn't always the most fun thing in the world. The brother was a squirmy little boy and the sister was a screamer. (Funny how my own children mimic us as children! I was trying to be cool - quite a task when sitting on vinyl seats in the south in the summer - haha! Friday, May 4, 2012.

Monday, December 30, 2013. I'm thinking that after a hiatus of about 18 months, I might resurrect my blog. I really enjoyed blogging before, whether anyone was reading it or not. Then it started to feel a bit like a chore, and then I felt like I should do it when I didn't really want to. But now I kind of want to again. I will try to post an update to our curriculum choices and reviews sometime soon. And some updated pictures! Some things never change! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Days of Our Lives.

Thursday, February 23, 2012. The Great Toothbrush Intervention of 2012. See anything wrong with this picture? And there's a Spiderman toothbrush in my bathroom, which I can assure you is not mine, and I'm reasonably certain it doesn't belong to my husband either. Three children. Thirteen toothbrushes. There is one friend who frequently spends the night, so maybe we can assume that one toothbrush might belong to her. I am puzzled by this. Apparently the little apples don't fall far from the tree. The litt...
