Homeschool Planning
It is that time of year again : time to plan our homeschooling adventures for the next year. As I wrote a couple of months ago, we are planning to do things a little differently for Camille. For Chloe, we are sticking with most everything that she has been doing, changing up only a few

Too Much Computer
Ugh. By 8pm, I had had it. I had spend almost the entire day, save a trip to the store, on the computer. Not mindlessly web-surfing, mind you. Working, blogging, organizing, replying. Despite still having a long list of things that “have to get done”, I just can’t go on. The computers are going to
too much tuscan reading
Every couple of years, I lose myself in my fantasy books. No, not sci-fi. Not my thing. I lose myself in Peter Mayle, Frances Mayes and other “ex-pats” making new lives or “alternate lives” for themselves in places like Provence and Tuscany. This spring, I’ve read my stash of Peter and have almost gone through
Are We There Yet?
No, we’re not on another trip. In fact, we are actually at home this weekend. Home for a yard sale, a “Room of the Week” and playing catch up/get ahead for the next rip. The question is in regards to the end of the school year. Are we there yet? For Chloe, this has been

sheep to shawl – 16 apr 2011
We headed from STITCHES South to “Sheep to Shawl” at the Atlanta History Center — a very fiber-y day! We watched the sheep being sheared, too some of the wool, washed it and carded it too!
Camille takes charge
A little less than a year and a half ago, Camille picked up knitting needles for the very first time. Little did I know that she would become not only the owner of an Etsy store (Camboodle) but also, from what I’ve seen, the youngest attendee at STITCHES South by at least fifteen or twenty

camille – 5 apr 2011
Camille has been studying hard this week despite me being under the weather. I love how self-motivated she can be … though we have been having issues with her doing a little too much websurfing — on Ravelry of all places …
learning styles, wordpress and design
If you visit my blog (yes, this blog, but maybe you read via Google Reader or some other type feed reader) right now, you’ll notice it is a bit of a mess. A few months back, I decided it might be fun and useful to start learning more about WordPress. I have been experimenting with
