Matzot Matters

OY! Never wait till the last minute to buy Matzah. I went to three stores to get 4 boxes. Ouch! Too many people before me. I'm glad I got enough for seder and a little each day, I usually like to have some special things made up but... this year we'll have to dole out the stuff so it'll stretch the whole week. Just a heads up.

Have a Blessed Passover

Hi ... some of you celebrate Passover - Haag Sameach! Some of you ask questions because you are interested in Passover - this blog is for you! I just thought I'd keep from getting rusty and write a few things a day about Passover as we celebrate it. I hope you'll realize these are things I'm learning and are not doctrine. Love you all ... here goes.

Check the side bar as it grows during this coming week for Passover tips.

AHEA and more..

WEll... I'm home from our annual trek to AHEA. The next school year is decided, books bought and this year is winding down, slowly.

I am happy that this was the year I had to purchase the LEAST amount of books. More of what Bethany has used in the past is being used again for the boys and we're doing Sonlight Core 5 with everyone. My one stumbling block is stilll Bethany's math for next year. I'm looking at a tutor but ... the cost is making it hard to know what to do.

The Maxwells were great speakers. Sometimes I felt a bit overwhelmed looking at their lives compared to mine but I know I'm NOT them so ... I need to find what works best for my family. I'm ONCE AGAIN trying to do a schedule and chore managing so I can do less "policing" of chores this next year. Cross your fingers.. this is NOT my strength. (Eat the meat, spit out the bones.)

Okay... feeling like there's tonnnesss to do before our facilitator comes this week and yet.. somehow I'm NOT worried. The kids look forward to showing him all their work and he's a very gracious man. We enjoy having him here.

I best run. I have chores to police.
Back to real life.

Oh Dear what can the matter be?

I seem to have lost my reading audience... I guess that is what happens when you're not blogging for a long time.... opps.
I hope you 'll comment and inspire me to write to more than cyberspace.

Canadian History made fun!

For all you homeschoolers who want Canadian history but are kind of getting tired of another group of kids going through the same stuff...

here's a great website for you.

www.canadianmysteries.ca

It's history mysteries that your kids get all the info and you have to come to your own decision about what you think happened. They are all true and unsolved.


Have fun!
