Welcome from a fellow TNer
Yep....we are very fond of nicknames. My oldest, Kelsie, has been "cookie" to her papaw since before she was born. I don't think I've ever...
Because they are smarter than I am..lol. They'll be 9 soon, but have been doing 4th grade level work since December. It's nothing I've done...
For DD12: She's Doing Sonlight Core 7 (History, LA and Bible) Continuing on with Saxon 7/6 until finished, then on to 8/7. Worldy Wise 7...
Yes, I'm beginning to see that she's probably NEVER going to have neat writing. (Neither do her father nor her grandfather!) But I know too that...
Yep...witnessing this first hand. My dd12 was an 'excellent' public school student. But after bringing her home I've realized that: Her...
Haha! We were just talking about the PROM this morning! My neice is all about her 8th grade formal right now, and I think my dd is a little...
Any time we have meat or veggies left over (even canned ones) I'll toss them in the freezer. (Even if it's not very much) Then when I have...
We had the same problem with our twins. It was horrible. I tried to BF them and it was just tearing them up...no matter how I ate. Although I...

Our daily work....30 minutes or less usually. Really, not much time involved. If you are looking for something reading intensive, then this...
There is daily work in the big book. It's like a workbook. You only need the additional books for the book studies, which could easily be...
I have onions, strawberries, and peas started. We also have blackberries and raspberries (not sure if this plant is going to make it though :( )...
You must have a pressure canner if you plan on canning any veggies other than tomatoes. They are more expensive, but worth the investment...a...
We've been using it for about 2 weeks. It's not time consuming at all. And we do have a separate vocabulary (Worldy Wise)
This is why I hope I NEVER move again. We have 14, yes 14, 6 ft tall bookshelves. All full. Plus many other books in odd places. :eek: In...
No, I wouldn't take it away, but schedule it for AFTER her school work gets done. It shouldn't be looked at as taking everything away from her,...
I would reclaim YOUR control over her life. She's 12, she has no right to control YOUR life. I have a 12 year old dd, and there is no way she...
My girls like the Dear America and Royal Diaries books.
