Heee Heee Meme
Vicky has tagged me for the Heee Heee Meme intended to spread laughter and hilarity throughout blogland. This meme is Victor‘s brain child, any surprise;) 1. You must write the Meme whilst looking somewhat ridiculous. Whatever you do to look and feel ridiculous, tell us about it. 2. Next you must tell us something funny or silly about yourself; or something that happened to you that made you look ridiculous. 3. Then LINK to three other people and invite them to join the Meme. 4. Finally don’t forget to LINK back to the person who invited you so that your readers can read about them and JOIN THE LAUGHTER. ************************************* Mmm…

Shared Posts (1)
Whilst many lamented the demise of shared items in google reader and we began searching for a solution, my friend Gae offered to host a weekly sharing of posts, feel free to come over and join the party. The following I have managed to save in feedly, but as I haven’t yet found a way to share on my blog, Gae’s offer is most welcome. A smorgasboard of where my thoughts meander. Hot off the Press, Adnil Press has a new site. Angela of Three Plus Two fame has a new blog, And the Kitchen Sink. (I do notice she has diigo in her sidebar, mmm) Working With Oilcloths The Art Center Picture…

My Book Love
Visitors to our home instantly realise that books are an integral part of our family culture, as would readers of my blog:) I simply cannot remember a time I have not loved the printed word. Family folklore is, I taught myself to read at the age of 4, this must be true as I remember reading before Kindergarten. So when Sue asked me to discuss books including my childhood favourites I simply don’t know where to stop, I have so many! I just love it when my children love my favourites, and am equally devastated when they don’t!! An exciting part of sharing our book love is finding new favourites together too:)…

Homeschooling Meme
Imagine my surprise and delight when Jeanne tagged me for a meme. I was so honoured to read she was interested to hear from me! So… 1. One homeschooling book you have enjoyed Over the years I have read a number of homeschooling books, particularly back when Anna Maria was a baby and we were cementing our decision to home educate our children. I’ve previously shared many titles in My Top ‘How To’ Homeschool Picks and Our Friendship Quilt. All our previous reading has influenced us our home education journey, resulting in an eclectic style including; Charlotte Mason and child directed education. As a veteran home educator, and a mum…

Managing My Screen Time
Carving out computer time for Mama is always a juggle and takes ingenuity. Prior to Bass’ birth the bulk of my computer time was mostly early morning before the family arose. After his birth this time no longer worked, and a ‘quick check’ at 7am leads to a later start. We accomplish far more when we start lessons by 8am. So I have been searching for a more natural time. The afternoon was a time to trial but after we turned off the children’s screen, I wasn’t comfortable with using a time the children were forbidden, wanting to lead by example. I trialled night but find it conflicts with the time I wish to…

Blog Review 2010
Looking back over the year it is interesting to note which blog posts were most popular with my readers. By no means are these the ones I receive the most comments for, in fact some of the most popular posts receive no comments! Most interesting. My stats button on the dashboard doesn’t work, so my only way of noting popular posts is the Popular Posts gadget on the sidebar, predominately what is there currently has been there consistently for the last few months. I actually suspect some of these posts must be generously linked to on other blogs somewhere, but I know not where. (I’d love to know if you…

Blogs/Website Active Again:)
What a surprise to be back blogging! Tuesday morning I awoke to discover I could not access my google reader, due to “suspicious activity.” Imagine my horror when I flicked open my blogs and websites to discover they had been “removed!” Well thankfully Faith Filled Days was operating or I would have been really hyperventilating. Actually I’m rather surprised at how calmly I took it all, I even suggested to PC that perhaps I would give up blogging, just too depressing to consider starting over. All of this was compounded by the fact that over the course of the next few days both PC and I were sick so weren’t…
