Yeah, my oldest wouldn't like LOF either. He needs more cut & dry math also. Ah-oh, Jackie, I have a feeling our two are two much alike. They'd drive each other crazy! ;) Sommer: One thing to consider is that if TT is working and Garrett isn't giving you flack with it, then it may be...

I agree with crazymama. LOF can be a stand alone program. On another site I go to, someone compared LOF with other curricula that people use as complete programs, and they covered the same topics and the same amount. That surprised many people! :D She's also right about the Home Companions...

It depends on what your definition of "rigorous" is. If you mean pushing Great Books, Algebra in 6th grade, Latin and at least 2 other languages by highschool, etc., then my answer is definitely no. I agree with what a lot of the other ladies have said: By homeschooling I can meet my kids...

Thanks! :) Missed you guys too! Really, Patty, I was giving you a chance to catch up with me, post-wise! I see you're getting there, but you'll have to put in a lot more effort! :D Hi Meg! No, they didn't check discs. Where is your pain when it does that? Is it off to one side or in...

I'm here! WooHoo! Sorry for the long absence! This is my favorite place on Homeschool Spot, so I came here first! :D I woke up the Thrsday before Mother's Day with my lower back, upper "bum" area hurting. It got worse and worse, and by Mother's Day morning I could hardly stand it. So...

Awwww, poor baby! I hope she's feeling better now, and recovers fully and soon! Praying for her, AND for you!

Wow, that's pretty crazy about the camera! I am praying that he continues to get better, and things work out well for him!

Yay! Praise the Lord for answered prayer! We, also, are nursing along an old car, and praying it lasts! My dh just said, last week, that if something else big happens on it, we may have to just let it go and get a different vehicle, whether we can afford it or not. It's not worth putting a...

You can be, Autumn, if you truly give it all to God! Which you seem to be doing! I am praying for wisdom and strength to handle it and do right by them daily! If you make some mistakes, don't feel bad about it---you're only human! With the strength God gives you, I am sure you will be...

MT3--1 1/2 pounds sound GREAT to me! Great job! For Valentine's Day, dh got me a thing of Marionberry pie icecream! :) That's my favorite kind of pie (really boysenberry, but marionberry is what's usually made, and it's a close 2nd), so he got it! He wanted to try to find me maple walnut...

I'm keeping up with the exercise very well--the least I've done on my exercise days in the past 2 weeks is 1 hour! I think I'm drinking a good amount of water. I could do better on the food I'm eating, but I do eat lots of salads. I haven't lost a thing though! :( I keep telling myself it's...

I've never been normal either. I so disliked the commercials where the mom helps her kids get ready for school, then on the bus, waves goodbye....................then pumps her fist and says, "Yessss!" and smiles! :( I adore my chilren! I don't like everything they do or all the choices they...

MT3, the small meals seem to work well for me. It helps me not over eat. One time it may just be a banana or a piece of fruit of some kind. We have been getting Clif Bars from Costco, and I'll often eat one befofre I exercise early in the morning. It really does keep my energy going...

I am just seeing this. I am praying that his situation will continue to improve, and that they will find no permanent damage from this!

Oh, Autumn, I am sooo sorry! I am praying for you, your children and his family! As Kris and others have said, know that you are being thought of, prayed ffor and supported here! See my Bible text below..... Hugs, more hugs, and lots of prayers to you!
