I have said before and I will say it again.

If they walk, if they talk and if they are potty trained, they have a homeschooling mom.

You are right, homeschooling is not all book learning. 2 1/2 cups making a whole cup baking a cake is math. Correcting the "The soap sinked to the bottom." type phrases is language arts. Everyday is a learning experience for a child who has parents that listen and care.

Now if we could just teach her to tell time..........That's the current project. I have turned off all digital clocks (except the timer on the stove) and we only rely on regular clocks for that purpose and we don't use digital watches either.

She has recently mastered shoelaces.......she learned to tie all kinds of boat knots over the summer at various functions attended by the Coast Guard - but couldn't get the knack of shoes.......now she doesn't need mommy to do it anymore...sigh.

Hi Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that my daughter was born Wednesday November 24th at 9:07 P.M. after 16 hours of labor. Her name is Marlowe(after my husbands Grandmother) Van(after my Grandmother) She is beautiful!

She weighed 8lbs 10ozs and was 20 3/4 long.

Because she was so big she suffered a brachial plexus injury to her left arm. We are optimistic that she will gain full use of her arm by 6 months of age. If not we will have to find a surgeon to help her along.

Any prayers from you nice ladies would be appreciated.

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

I was in the hospital most of last week because I was toxic but I did read the thread and I am going to try soaking my pecans in schnapps for my Christmas pie! (Thats if Marlowe allows me to make a pie!)
