I am so loving the Japanese Bento’s. See my other blog too. What I love is that my soap making is bringing new knowledge. All those molds I found for soap making and then put back in storage, have a new purpose. Once I had a little rugrat running around, the thought of using lye...

I have taken a liking to the Japanese Bento Boxes. If you don’t know about these, please visit Ngoc’s site, Cooking Cute. Bento are basically box lunches. But, like most things Japanese, they are taken to an amazing level of beauty and necessity. What draws me most to them is the simplicity of eating healthy...

The two really are synonymous. Gmail has mad email organization so simple and think-free. I love it. The archive features allows me to get rid of email only to have the ability to retrieve it if I need to later. Love that. The label feature is very cool and the color coding is just brilliant....

I loved Hello Kitty. No, if I am coming clean let me restate that. I love Hello Kitty. I was the girl with the little pencil and eraser pack and the clothes and the little miniature school supplies that drove my teachers insane. With the help of the internet I have no expanded to everything...

Here is a list of a few sites I have found useful – in general. The Homeschool Diner’s Guide to Homeschooling Basics Enchanted Learning – Education and Games

Language Arts is one of the funnest things I do with my daughter. She adores being read to, so, it stands to reason, she can hardly wait to read. Starfall is a wonderful and free language arts curriculum that I have mentioned before. You can certainly buy the program, but we have done very well...

It is hard, I think, to find good math sites on the web that do not simply offer online games. I really look for sites with projects children can make. I feel they are more invested in their work and feel great pride in their accomplishments. Shu-Chen Jenny Yen’s sites are perfect for making your...

Sky Map is such a cool program. The site basically gives you a front seat to the universe. With this online tool, you can search through terminology and view pictures of actual galaxies and nebulas. The photos are amazing. AMC Montessori is just one of the many Montessori sites on the internet. This one is...

Here’s a great site for teaching continents, regions, countries, states, provinces and cities. National Geographic – Places Directory

Here is a site I found useful for teaching music. The list will continue to grow, I’m sure. On-Line Piano Lessons

Friends and family who do not home school hate it when stories like this come out because it really supports my decision to home school. I know bad things happen everywhere, but I can’t even count how many lock downs we had when I was teaching. Children are not able to learn during a lock...

Here’s the second little guy I made. I bought lots of brightly colored yarn while on vacation and decided to use it all together. The bright colors are not for the faint of heart. Again, the cute little guy has a tear drop and the ribbon. He’s very little but stands out nicely against the...
